THE PRICE" REAL
DRAMA QUESTION
Municipal Theatre Problem Dis.
cuSSed at Luncheon of
City Club.

Discussion OF a municipal theatre and
the suggestion that advocacy OF city
supported theatre vas legitimate part
of the work OF every city club in the land
were features OF speech by Walter
Prichsrd Eaton yesterday at a drama
luncheon given by the City Club
Mr. Eaton declared that no good play
need fail FOR lack OF an audience-it prices
were within the range OF the people. Said
he:
The reason you don't have great multi
tudes iiocking down from The Bronx or
up from the East Side 10 support your
good plays Is not because appreciatiye
audiences are lacking. 1t is because these
people can't pay the price. People don't
go TO motion picture theatres because
they like them better than well-acted,
well-written drama. They so because
they can take their wives and children
there one or twice week. II there aren't
too many children.
The answer TO this problem isn't In
drama uplift by drama leagues or any
thing OF the sort. The answer is In a re-
duction Of prices. As | don't suppose the
theatrical managers can very well AFFORD
10 reduce prices as conditions are now. IL
gets down 20 a subsidized or municipal
theatre
For some time there has been sub
sidfzed theatre-a stock company-at
Northampton. Mass The theatre is
owned by the city, and the deficit has
been paid by the son OF the man who
gave il 10 the city. Two years ago this
deficit was 5000. as interest grew this
deficit last season was cut 10 5000 And
now the voters have decided that in fut-
ure any deficit Is to be paid by the city.
That kind OF theatre is the answer 10
drama uplift and better audiences"
Roland Holt. who presided. said that II
the city furnished libraries and symphony
. concerts free there was every reason why
IT should also see that its people got the
benefit of good plays. Miss Fola La Fol-
lette and Mrs. \. starr Best, of Chicago.

In singles serve from the center of
the court. In serving from the cen.
ter of the court one protects both
sides of the court equally on the re-.
turn. Take, for instance, player
who stands at the extreme right of
the court to serve. He leaves q big
opening on his left unprotected In
case a ball Is returned to his back
hand, near the side line, he has to
travel four or Ave extra feet The
reverse holds true when serving in
the opposite court The center Of
the court is the dividing line for your
angles He who keeps that position
at all times does less running. One
can get his ball in court, from the.
center as well as from the extreme
right of the court.
II is a mistake to serve from the.
side line You have to travel the
whole width OF the court to return a
bali, which is twenty-seven feet. BY.
serving from that position one can
score service ace occasionally. bat
not often enough to pay for firing
himself out by running back and
forth to cover twice as much ground
as the one who serves from the cen.
ter of the court In doubles, where
your position is covering only half
of the court, it is always best to
stand between the center service line
and the side line OF the single court.
