The Drama League of America

some of the cities for the purpose of
informing the playgoing public of the
nature of the plays presented. A COM

support of artistic drama, by inducing
attendance early in an engagem ent
upon any play on which the committee
issues a bulletin. This official state
ment of the Drama league is indie
pendent of any outside influence. The
bulletin is not issued regularly, but
only when a worthy play appears, and
one which the committee considers
worthy of support. The bulletin an
nOunceS the date the play Will appear (
in the city for which the notice is
issued, the characters, its value, and |
some quotations from the lines.
This league ought to be able to do |
a good deal of good in assisting people |
to select the best in theatrical per- |
formances. The league does not aim
to exercise any censorship over any !
ones choice of plays, but it gives them !
the benefit of the critical Judgment of |
competent people in learning the plays |
that are worth attending.
