CHAPTER IX THE THEATRE CRAFTSMAN Stripped of much nonsense which has come to be its connotation during the development of critical nomenclature, the word technic, after all, means a very simple thing. It refers to the most workmanlike way of doing that which in literature has for its object the imparting of pleasure. In the fine arts, whose aim it is to please, technic is that manner of performing the task which results in the greatest content of satisfaction in the recipient. And perhaps it is not fundamental but arbitrary to confine the process to non-utilitarian labors. It may be that the bootblack, as he polishes your boots, possesses technic in so far as he takes pleasure in and gives you pleasure from the perfect polish he lovingly bestows. An artistic desire issuing in a beautiful result, why is that not always an illustration of true technic, albeit the thing done is practical, utilitarian, not associated with what are called the arts The utilitarian nature of the work should not blind us to the artistic instinct which is involved. Be this as it may, a man has technic when he has learned to conserve his artistic interests by doing a given job in the most economical way for him and the most pleasurable to the art patron. Bernard Shaw has written some thirty dramas and has made himself famous in so doing. Many of his plays are solid theatre successes, not merely plays that appeal to the select. The box office has been so often his friend that he is a moderately rich man from his dramatic work; to be respected, therefore, by a practical, commercial Broadway manager, as a playwright whose wares have market value. And his plays in general, whether commercially effective or not, are taken seriously by the critics and enlightened public followers of the theatr. . .
