    Extractions: On this day, fifteen years apart, Arthur Miller's The Crucible (1953) and Thornton Wilder's Our Town (1938) premiered. Although both were poorly-reviewed to start, The Crucible would win a Tony and Our Town a Pulitzer; and both would become not only classics of American theater, but classic, opposite statements on the idea of community living. Wilder and the Lost Generation On this day in 1975 Thornton Wilder died at the age of seventy-eight. Wilder's popular, warm-hearted, life-affirming themes put him on the periphery of the Lost Generation crowd, but they won him Pulitzers for both literature and drama the only writer to do so and they have proven enduring: at a September 11th memorial service, Tony Blair quoted the final sentences of

    Extractions: Great quotes to inspire, empower and motivate you to live the life of your dreams and become the person you've always wanted to be! I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being. W inning children (who appear so guileless) are children who have discovered how effective charm and modesty and a delicately calculated spontaneity are in winning what they want. I t's when you're safe at home that you wish you were having an adventure. When you're having an adventure you wish you were safe at home. T he best part of married life is the fights. The rests is merely so. I 've never forgotten for long at a time that living is struggle. I know that every good and excellent thing in the world stands moment by moment on the razor-edge of danger and must be fought for whether it's a field, or a home, or a country. N ever support two weaknesses at the same time. It's your combination sinners your lecherous liars and your miserly drunkards who dishonor the vices and bring them into bad repute.

The popular, broad‐ranging writer was born in Madison, Wisconsin, and educated at Yale and Princeton. He had won fame for his excellent novels (especially the popular The Bridge of San Luis Rey ) before writing some notable one‐act plays such as The Long Christmas Dinner and The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden . Although an earlier full‐length play, The Trumpet Shall Sound (1926), dealing with a Christ‐like figure in New York, was a failure, as were several later long plays, three of his full‐length works are among the most interesting in the modern American theatre: the small‐town drama Our Town (1938), the expressionistic The Skin of Our Teeth (1942), and the merry farce The Matchmaker (1954), a rewriting of his earlier The Merchant of Yonkers (1938). He also wrote a 1932 translation of

The Ides of March is "a fantasia on certain events and persons of the last days of the Roman republic." Taking only a few liberties with the historical events, Author Wilder has imagined the documents he needs and made a police-court dossier that has plausibility (the kind of plausibility that Robert Graves achieved in I, Claudius) without pretense to truth. Wilder calls his novel a "suppositional reconstruction." The result is an amusing book, or, more exactly, a very clever book based on an amusing idea. tiiQuigoWriteAd(755769, 1290655, 600, 240, -1);
