drama. He used the moments in eX-
planning the dramatic instinct in man.
which makes all the world akin. He
said in part: "Of all useful things in
human nature the theater has been
the least understood and the most
senselessly condemned. TheaCer
buildings in themselves are compara-
lively safe enough. The terrible hoI-
ocaust in, Chicago recently of course
cost many lives, but there has been
no other theater disaster in the Unit
ed States on twenty-five years. In
the same time not less than seven
thousand have been killed on the rail
roads Of the country and many others
crippled. All reforms to be success
full must be constant and not hyster-
ical
why did Shakespeare write plays?
Actors in that period were rogues and
vagabOnds, then why should the great
est mind the world ever produced.
practically descend to such a common
level as to cater to a mob? If he
were the only great man in history
who devoted his time to writing or
the drama, we might COncede that he
was an accident. But the brightest
and most wonderful writer's of Greece,
Saia. -. N. Etgs Etl ~ 81 E2s5aad S.?!9. has7
voted their lives to the writing or
plays. The birth of the drama was
in Greek religious pantomime. Other
sides of mans nature were taken up
besides the religious and universas
life was depicted. Then the age Oh
darkness enveloped the world"
Mr.. Owen beautifully described the
dawning of the Christian era and said
that the monks still illustrated their
object lessons by erecting a stage
and having the lessons portrayed in
a material way Within the last two
years there has been produced in this
country one of those old, original dra-
mas, given with no stage settings, no
footlights and in bare hall, and the
success of Every Man" has been
wonderful. Man likes to see the por-
trayal of the two sides of his nature.
1T is as unnatural that the Chris
tian church should quarrel with the
drama as that a mother should quar-
rel with her daughter. AS long as
the little girl plays make believe
with her dolls, as long as the small
boy goes to war on his nobby horse;
just so long as the primary dramatic
instinct is beneath the successive
layers of civilization; just so long as
man is interested in himself, just that
long will you have the theater. You
can't get away from it. There are
great possibilities for good embodied
in this idea, and terrible opportunities
for evil. Thousands shout for the ell
ovation of the stage. Well, it's up to
the public Actors must live, and to
gain that livelihood. they must give to
the public what they demand. The
actor is not to blame for the kind of
plays produced On the stage today;
it is the public"
The remainder of the afternoon
was devoted to the discussion OF
Shakespeare's women Mr.. Owen
said that they were the despair OF
writer's; that Shakespeare glorified
woman, making her rise superior to
her surroundings, giving her intense
spirituality with subtle, fleeting
charm, whose elusiveness mace it al.
the more beautiful. The moral hero
ism of Shakespeare's women made
them utterly different than the wom-
en- of any other author.
