DR4MATISTS MERCENARY.
Percy Mackaye Explains to the Columbia
students That They VIII Write for Money

students That They VIII Write for Money
the poet and dramatist Of Windsor. Vt,
and the Harvard Club Of this city. the
present conditions in the American
theatre are caused by the fact that drama
lists are working nowadays for personal
profit. with very little consideration for
the betterment Of their fellow citizcns.
MIR MacKaye stated this in a talk in
Earl Hall. Columbia University yester-
day afternoon on -The Dramatist as a
Citizen According TO Mr.. MacKaye
the trouble IL that public opinion has not
yes lifted the dramatist 20 the height of
the clergyman, the physician or the lawyer
and that consequently he works more
for his own gain than for the gain Of the
State through the education Of the people
rho attend the theatres. He explained:
Everywhere 1t is everybody's business
to seek enjoyment: in the theatre IL appears
to be nobody's business to show them how
to do so to their own best advantage. Yet
il is precisely the nobody 3 business which
is undertaken with organized system by
our universities, art schools. medical col
leges, churches. clinics. public schools,
and for this "nobody's business" millions
OF dollars are donated in our country by
communities and individuals as a free gift
for the cause OF education. the cause OF how,
to be happy wisely. Is not this equally the
legitimate cause Of the theatreY II so then
where is there a single million as a free
gift for the cause OF the theatre? The
drama is splendidly capable Of reconciling
the best ideals OF the Puritan. the Greek
and the cathedral builder. Of blending in
one lay religion the service Of the State
and the service OF God. The drama. say.
is capable OF doing this in theatre free
to do so. but the drama is not able to do
this in a theatre compelled 10 do otherwise.

reporters be sere to see him at the thea

1t is a story of war, a story CT love

of the wealth of descriptive detail fur
nished by the author. The Graustar-
khan landscape lends itself particularly
10 the scene painters art. for there
ere great massive mountains, sharp
rugged valleys, cool limpid lakes, bab-

"Mary James Pa"

While Mary James Pa" in which
Mr.. Max F'igman will be presented by
John Cort at the Keylor Grand Satur-
day December IS, is announced as an
idyllic midwest comedy, and might
give one the impression that it is one
of those sweet bucolic dramas of coun-
try love and tribulations, it is in real
ity a great big comedy drama of real
life in the great middle west, with
strong characters doing strong things
amid vital situations.
The big scene of the play comes at
newspaper goes to press. The ciiInax
is reached when Rome Preston, can
modern cylinder press and upsets the
the type of a story exposing the COR
order to prevent it's being printed, and
thus saves the owner of the neWspa-
per, Portia Perkins, the woman he has
loved in vain, from the threatened
revenge of the opposing candidate
She discovers the accident to the press
and is in desperation, when her bus
band, played by Figman, himself a
tramp printer, awakens from his lazy
demeanor at her imprisoned call for
help, and sets the story He then pre-
pares an old-fashioned hand press that
is in the corner, and amid the great
est enthusiasm, turns out the paper
printed on one side, and wins the big
political battle for his wife
The incident serves to awaken their
long separated and sleeping souls. and
the two are united again in the bonds
Of aholy love. This scene never fails
to bring forth five or six curtain calls
from the audiences.
