The pictorial side of 'The Great
Divide' in which Henry Miller's
special company is to appear at the
Turner Theatre early in December, is
said to be strikingly fascinating. The
first two scenes are full of the atmo-
sphere and color of the boundless
West, prevailed by the spirit of noun
tains and plains. The first act set.
ting represents cabin on cactus
ranch in southern Arizona. The
second act shows the ''roof of the
world' a wild, magnificent spot at the
top of the Rockies. Here on the great
Continental divide is fought out the
conflict between the hero and the
heroine-he IMPLYING the unfettered,
lawless freedom of the mountain and
desert, she rejecting the Puritan
ideals of her New England home. The
grandeur of the scenes gives an almost
epic background to this struggle OF
contrasted national temperaments of
East and West. Stephen Clients
abode in the Cordilleras overlooks a
yawning canyon and spread out before
it, is an impressive vista of vast dis
tances across the mountain tops. It
was just scene as this, viewed in all
its gorgeous western colors from moon
to sunset, that inspired the magma
tion of William Vaughn Moody to
write this drama of "The Great Dr.
vide," which was instantly hailed
upon it's presentation in New York
city as "the great American play"
everyone had been praying for. Mr..
Moody was a college professor, a
teacher of literature in the university
of Chicago, and had been writing
poetic dramas along classical Greek
lines, but the voice of the West spoke
to him one summer day on the top of
the Continental divide, and he brought
back it's utterances to the East and
West, the North and South, in the
most notable drama of the past half
century. t-.
