GRADUATES ARE
WELCOME on THE STAGE

Time was when women OF the stage
We're noC as a general rule highly edu-
Gated. when in fact they picked up their
education on the road. But today that
is all changed. The old-time prejudices
against the stage as a profession for
women have been gradually broken
down, and 81 Is no longer considered
that girl OF good family and education
is disgracing herself when she adopts
the stage as her profession. Highly
educated girls are no longer the excep-

The early dramatic training Of most OF
these girls has been received right al
their colleges. The officials have an enor-
nous place in the daily life of the
college women; ali colleges have one
or more dramatic clubs. Girls are train
ed in lines or parts for which they are
exceptionally suited. and make close
study Of dramatic literature.
Every notable play OF Shakespeare is
produced, while many modern successes
are by no means ignored. Then too,
original plays are staged and the Iaten,
genius OF the playwright is brought out,
and practical training Is given Ia dra-
matte authorship. Thus. it was that
the genius of Rica Johnson Young was
