Iowa City. Feb. IF a national
subsidized theater ever comes to be a
reality said Mr. Charles b. Hanford
the Shakespearian actor in an al
dress TO the students of the State Uni
versiiy OF Iowa yesterday "it will un-
doubtedly be located in Chicago.
1T has always been matter of re-
gret TO ME that Andrew Carnegie could
not see that 1t was his duty to turn
at least part of his fortune TO this
great cause.
"A national theater is a thing of
the future. From this theater viii 80

tiles their local centers. Every large
should have an oratorium
sufficient for such productions, and al
ter such productions they should ne
made the subject of critical study.
II am glad to see co-education m
the universities of the west. educa-
ton brings Il girl into acquaintance
with various types of men. and leads
her to have some understanding OF
men generally. So we find that we neal
no tamings of the shrewS today. for
co-education takes off the rough edges
which required more heroic treatment
in the time of Shakespeare"
Mr.. Hanford is a strong advocate of
a national theater and made strong
argument for it. He thinks that thru
such an institution the classics will re-
ceive their proper study and that this
is the only way to properly present
them. He says that the time will come
when every university will have its
own theater and will encourage these
plays within It's own doors.
