MODERN CONDITIONS.

This is the plan adopted as the surest
method OF eXerting an influence for good
upon the art Of the drama. The execu-
tive committee believes that the great
need of the American drama to-day Is an
organization Of intelligent piaygoers.
Under modern conditions it is essential
TO the success OF "A play that ii receive
inancial support and wide publicity from
the outset. otherwise the cost Of the pro-
iuction soon forces its Withdrawal
Every season good plays are thus lost TO
the art loving public. The president Of
the society is Mrs. r. II. Hewitt; the sec
rotary. John Corbin. and the treasurer.
Thomas w Lamont. ON the executive
committee are Mrs. August Belmont

was not converted to credence in the

did think the time was ripe for ghostiy

lighter plays which has already been sim
gled out for designation as "the most
enduring" is THE Amazons. which

charming comedy is especially season
able because Of its pastoral scenes, gay
pictures of outdoor life. and the youth
and spirits Of its people. Pinerc does not

AIDING THE ORAMATiSTS.

From later pamphlet is taken the fol-
lowing extract:
The predicament Of the intelligent
playwright Is especially unfortunate. for
the art loving public OF late years lost
the habit OF theatregoing. The more in
tellieent the play. the more likely II is TO
fail The best possible advertisement for
any production is favorable comment and
discussion started by those who have seen

any special appeal II the understanding
this is now the only means OF insuring
success. The first step toward the de-
velopment OF the American drama is thus
an organization by which good plays may

the result OF movement which began AL
most decade ago in the Peoples Insti-
tute. The late Charles Sprague Smith,
then It's president, clearly recognized that
the drama is one OF the most powerful OF
all means toward informing the mind and
developing right social instincts. To in
sure that whatever was Of value i'm the
current drama should be accessible to
his people. he organized a drama commit
tee and made arrangements with the
managers by which plays which II recon-
mended should be opened 10 workmen.
school children and teachers at half
prices.
An unforeseen result of this work was
that many good plays which would other
wise have failed were tded over to sue
cess. In one case piece became so sue
cessful that the author-whose profits are
only a fraction of those OF the manager
received an offer, which he refused of
$500 for his royalties. The most strlk-
ing instance Is Peter Pan Neither Mr..
Barrie's reputation nor Miss Adams =
popularity awaited to attract the general
public. The playgoers Of the People )
Institute. however, paid In at the box
office no less than $4,000; and with this
help the production gained time TO find its
