Summary
Defending the appointment of Charles Brookfield as Co-Censor of Plays, with reference to the "grimy fingers" and "dismal atmosphere of the modern problem-playwright", and saying of Brookfield, "He is an expert actor, an expert dramatist, a humourist of the first water, a man of letters, and a gentleman, but perhaps some of these qualifications might disqualify him with people."
