Tbat character is Tinker Ben. the tatrj Ls a i panloa of Peter Pan. and tbe people who thiak that it Is the most dUBcnlt to play are the three men wbo make np tbe x^art: for fairies, as evetrone knowa, are very seldom seen by human erea. aod when they are tbey simply appear as a dancing light. In moat plays fairies are represented \rf a large blonde young woman, a wand In her hand and dimood atar In her front balr, but everyone knowa ttiat tbla la false and tbat it is simply a grown-sp's Idea of a-fairy. Therefore, "Mr. Barrie, tielog a'stem realist'and desirous of depicting fairies exactly as tbey are, has ttioDght out a way of doing fairies instice. and to tbat end he haa two ojen either aide of the stage.
