NEW DANCES ETHIOPIAN
Grew Out of Cake Walks,
Thomas Tells Drama League.

An awakening OF interest in the drama
throughout the country was emphasized
at the rally OF the Drama League at the
Lyceum Theatre yesterday afternoon.
Augustus Thomas. who presided, said
that it was difficult to account for the
interest on the theory that the theatre Is
only an amusement He attributed the
popularity Of the new dances TO their
introduction on the stage.
Mrs. A. Starr Best chairman Of the or
ganiz1tion department read letters from
theatrical managers acknowledging their
debt 10 the league for organizing audi
ences for them in the small towns
Among the speakers were Fola La Fol-
lette. Hans Won Kaltenborn, Charles ID.
Coourn, Richard A. Purdy, George Mid
dleton, Franklin Sargent and Clayton
Hamilton
Il am not a member of the league
said Mr. Thomas. but understand 1t
works for the betterment Of the drama
by recommending the support of plays
OF which il approves II does not attack
plays Of which it does not approve. the
drama is an institution natural TO man.
There never was tribe without drama
There have been peoples without Ian
guage. or at least without written rec
ords of it. but none without drama.
The Mayor Of this city recently en-
deavored TO suppress some dancing done
more or less for the entertainment OF the
public. When these dances were first
started in Paris they were called Ameri-
can. They were not American dances.
hut an outgrowth Of our Ethiopian cake
walks. They have spread from the
cabaret TO the theatre and finally to the
home.
Il don't know whether these dances
make for morality or not. but do submit
that their popularity is a result OF their
having been shown in the theatre. Man
will never be immune TO the influences OF
the theatre, and II we desire to have a
national life that is fine we must en-
courage what is fine in the theatre"
The theatre must remain for many
years a commercial institution" said
Mrs. Best "and the managers must give
the public what they want" Mrs. Best
explained that the Drama League was
laboring simply To keep on the stage
plays that deserved TO be there.
Every time you buy "A ticket you cast
"A vote for the future Of the drama" said
Miss La Toilette II would like to have
the world give the matter more thought
than to the ballot on Election Day

Senator Bailey Of Texas delivered his farewell speech
to the United States senate the other day. having finally
rendered his threatened resignation. In that speech
Bailey placed himself squarey where he has been known
TO belong for several years but where he has taken the
pains heretofore of failing to admit he belonged He
placed himself squarey in the ranks of the reactionaries
and he notified the reactionary Republicans of that body
that Their only hope for the future lies with the Demo-
cratic party which, he declares will ultimately become the
conservative party OF the nation He bitterly denounced
the progressive policies being advocated and declared
that they meant the overthrow Of the republic as now
constituted and the substitution therefor of democracy

reason that possesses too large territory and too large
