Mission of the Stage.
Inez Macauley Regards 1t as Public
Educator.

Il believe the stage has a mission ="
says Inez Macauley, OF the Davis
Macauley company. at Chase's this
week. "and to me il is evident that the
mission is. as Shakespeare says. to hold
the mirror up to nature or rather man
kind. If. one is never told his faults or
never awakens to a realization OF them,
he is in no condition to better himself

tion and purpose to show the relatives.
or opposites. of good and evil in life. so
far we stray from the true path. There
is no subject OF human life or action

treatment. If the end Of the playwright
is to point out the sorrows OF sin and
the joys of virtue. There has been much

Miss Elliott much worry. She is very

only eight years of age, but at rehear-
sails il is always difficult to keep him
