TO Carry Drama to the Farmers.


FARGO, NJ D., March 6,-"The Lit
tie Country Theatre" an idea origi
mated by the North Dakota Agricul-
tural College, today started move
ment in the northwest which is ex-
pected to sweep the entire country.
The theatre, designed in the agricul-
tural college is in every way minia-
ture of the regular theatre but is so
constructed that 1t is readily adapra.
BILE to any size hall.
The idea of the little theatre" is,
to bring amateur theatricals into farm
homes, country schools, village halls
and such places. The simplicity OF
the stage settings are such that they
can be easily and cheaply construct
ed from the plans made UP at the loo
al college. The plan Is more readily
adapted to one-act playets. Promi
nent educators who have been shown
the plans and heard an explanation OF
the aim of the little THEATRE, declare Il
will add new course In dramatic ar
to colleges and schools NIL over the
country. The plan is intended to ds
much for the entertainment on farms
and in social centers. 1t will hav,
the effect, the originators believe, o
making the consolidated school plal
and the social centers more popular
