Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Short Plays: Rococo Vote by Ballot; Farewell to the Theatre Do you know how ugly the drawing-room of an English vicarage can be? Yes, I am aware of all that there should be about it; the old-world grace and charm of Jane-Austenism. One should sit upon Chippendale and glimpse the grey Norman church-tower through the casement. But what of the pious foundations of a more industrial age, churches built in mid-nineteenth century and rather scamped in the building, dedicated to the Glory of God and the soul's health of some sweating and sweated urban district? The Bishop would have a vicarage added grumbled the church-donor. Well, then, consider his comfort a little, but to the glory of the Vicar nothing need be done. And nothing was. The architect (this an added labour of but little love to him) would give an ecclesiastical touch to the front porch, a pointed top to the front door, add some stained glass to the staircase window. But a mean house, a stuffy house, and the Vicar must indeed have fresh air in his soul if mean and stuffy doctrine was not to be generated there. The drawing-room would be the best room, and not a bad room in its way, if it weren't that its proportions were vile, as though it felt it wanted to be larger than it was, and if the window and the fireplace and the door didn't seem to be quarrelling as to which should be the most conspicuous. The fireplace wins. This particular one in this particular drawing-room is of yellow wood, stained and grained. It reaches not quite to the ceiling.

Book excerpt: These plays are tempered with the thin, keen edge of Barker's fastidious intellectualism. "Rococo" deals farcically with a quarrel over a vase in the family of an English vicar. "Vote by Ballot" is a variation of the old tune of politics and a commentary on the problematical usefulness of the ballot. Mr. Torpenhouse's remark to his friend Lord Silverwall epitomizes Barker's feeling: "The same old tune . . . different words to it. It didn't really seem to me that it could hurt England at all to have you in Parliament." Later Mr. Torpenhouse proposes to move to abolish the ballot on the ground that it "compromises dignity and independence." "Farewell to the Theater" is a talk between Edward McLenegan and Dorothy Taverner set down in dramatic form. In this trifle, hardly a play, Barker is more the poet, or the symbolist, of "Souls on Fifth" than the dramatist. He is oppressed by the ephemeral quality of dramatic art. One leaves the theater having given one's best to it, only that others may come-that the blood of newer hearts may be mixed with the mortar of its walls.
