An Appreciation.
To the Editor:

10 Tic GQlGOIs
DEAR SIR: As frequent visitor in
your midst from New York these past
thirty always noting with pleas
ure the steady growth of the town in
many ways-I cannot refrain from
asking for space in your hospitable
columns to say word regarding a
surprising development In most IN
expected direction. When l arrived in
town two weeks ago, learned that a
Miss Olive Kackley, semi-professional
actress, was enlisting undeveloped his
trionic home talent TO give two such
well known plays as "Peg o. My
Heart" and |ELion and the Mouse. -
Having seen both plays in New York,
l was naturally curious to see what 1
imagined would be an edifying short
grass" contrast-onl and say it ser
iously, it turned out that the COMPARE
son was on the whole quite to the dis
advantage of the Gotham productions.
Not only was Miss Kackley's Peg
fairly equal to that of the notable ere
ator of this role, but her Shirley Ross
more was by many degrees superior
to the creator of the Mouse in the
New York production. Yet it is as an
organizer and drill master that she pre-
eminently shines. There was only a
week S time in which to select the per
sonnet from among your home people,
and whip them into shape in both plays.
Nevertheless not only was each partici-
pant perfect in his or her part as to
the letter, but in the acting evinced an
understanding and appreciation of its
requirements that bordered on the mar
velous. 1t would be out of place here
to speak of individual parts; but, taking
the two plays together, can frankly
say that in my judgement at least one
half of the Characterization were sup
eriOr to their counterparts in New
York, while hardly one fell much below
the Gotham standard.
How is this marvel to be accounted
for? 1t is commonplace that the av-
erage professional actor of today is
hardly above the illiterate class. He
knows little of either the world of let
tiers or of manners, while, per contra,
the average American-bor of our
smaller cities with their public lib
raries, their reading clubs, etc. is a
well informed person, with keen ap-
probation for all the things that make
up our artistic and intellectual life.
This, Joined to her exceptional abilities,
is the secret, as 1 read it, of Miss Rack
ley's phenomenal success in presenting
these impromptu productions; and, not
only has this experience in Hays given
me food for reflection, but as well op-
ened large vistas of most encouraging
possibilities of our country's future il
matters of the mind.

out creeds of the past; and to obey the
unavoidable edicts of the past. We are
in a new age and are asking the politi-
cal parties to change to meet the gov
ernmental needs of the masses; for the
churches to change to meet growing
intelligence of society and the educa-
tional arrangements to change to meet
wants of the intellectual demands of
the generation. The changes are not
in the fundamentals but the methods.
To those who believe methods to be
sacred, this world adjustment will be
hard upon them.
