One of the largest and perhaps most
jnstrctive literature committee meetings
ever held was one of yesterday after
noon at the home of Mrs. Mary Holm. CT
Rim bach avenue. Mrs Holm and her
fable committee having delightful af
sternoon arranged for the ladies. Mrs.
"A. J. Willitts of Chicago gave an ad
dress on Dramatic Art and gave those
present many good thoughts for serious
study. She urged the ladies to find time
for careful reading of good plays and
10 re-read them until the characters
seem like good friends and then If it IS
possible to the play. She said in
part that the drama of today mas reach
ed the highest plane of all the centuries
and the art of actors and actresses hav-
ing combined with money making man
ayers the success of the best plays with
good. pure. wholesome thought are sure
10 succeed. In the early Elfzabethan
Rge the drama was for the rich and
anighty but now the actor and actress
of today can carry a message to an
audience composed of all races. creeds
and professions. therefore the public
should only tolerate those plays which
are for their best development. 1t is to
be said with much thankfulness that
many plays linked with blood and
thunder melodrama are fast disap-
pearing. and plays of much worth are
being written by comparatively young
men. Some noted writer's contributing
for these plays of much dramatic ability
say that the support of good plays is
the duty of the citizen. those who have
dramatic art at heart It is TO be hoped
that in the near future people will
realize that by endowment from those
who have given so literally to other
causes. would bring the drama UP to a
higher plane than ever, and plays of
doubtful morals need not be played
chiefly because of the money needed TO
tide over failure of splendid play
that was above the general public. That
the influence of good plays often reach
people who rarely attend church is a
influence and plays of good moral char
acter should be striven for When one
stops to think that daily thousands up
on thousands OF people go to the thea
ter for amusement, not including the
five cent and ten cent shows all over
the country, can one not help but hope
that all that is good and pure and up
lifting be played before these audiences
