HAVE nothing but praise, the high
est praise too, for the ladies and
gentlemen who took the characters
IN Oscar Wilde's play, The Impor-
lance of Being Earnest" for the bene-
fit of some city charity.
1t would be easy enough to point
out flaws here and there. but it would
not be kind, for the players were not
professionals and they had given their
time ungrudgingly IN a good cause.
John Drew, Sir George Alexander,
Violet Van Brugh. or Billie Burke
would have made much more out OF
the parts, but it would not be fair TO
make comparison with them; and i
shall not do so.
The performance was all that could
be desired, but the audience was not
large. 1t was appreciative, however
and was well rewarded for attend
ing; but I cannot for the life of me
see why so many people who should
have been present remained away.
And yet there was a rea son. 1t
was the seas son and the weathr. 1t
is idle for amateurs, however well dis
posed they may be, to attempt to
Ill a large playhouse on stuffy,
sticky night, when theaters are all
closed in every other citl in the Unit e.
ed States, and professional players
are off recuperating in the mountains
and green fields. The performance
should have been given at least two
months earlier. The audience, l feel
reasonably certain. would at that time
have packed the house.
II there was TO be a performance
as late as June, it should have been
given al fresco. and should have been
along the lines of some of the famous
English pageants. now so popular all
over Great Britain, and even in the
United States. The great lawns Of
any one of the country clubs would
have furnished a, beautiful stage, and
an ensemble could have been OBJ
tanned which would have made an
outdoor performance worth while. An
outdoor performance would have been
a novelty, too. All the town and his
wife could have been invited, and the
Players Club would have done some
thing that was really worth while.

Club unless there is some radical
departure from the present plan OF
giving one short play a year at an
inopportune season. And l submit
to my very good friend, Mrs. Corrine
Horton, that If she will only put her
very active brain to work. she can
lead the club TO new victories in
something unusual at the next per
Torrance.
And while on this subject. and in
the meekest and most humble spirit,
may l suggest that the army of
friends of Mrs Horton might induce
her to write play to be performed
by the Players Club? She is very
clever with her pen. and says almost
as whimsical things as Barrie and
makes as witty epigra ms as George
Bernard Shaw. A play written by
Mrs Horton and performed by mem
bers of the Players Club would I'M
doubtedly attract a great deal of at
tention. The play might be called
The Jolly Jumpers" There are IN
limited possibilities, as anyone can
see, in such a title.
Perhaps Miss lsma Dooley or Miss
Louise Dooley might be induced to
write a skit on Society as I Know It,"
Don't you think that would be some
thing of a hit?
Or, could not the Players Club be
amateurs. the performers to be both
ladies' and gentlemen? ] know of no
one who could hold a face so straight
and yet extract more humor out Of
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-06-08
