League for these performances, the first
of which will be given in November.

with the commercial theater, nor to
make financial profit.
The players have secured one play
by local author and they are anxious
to secure others, especially one-act
plays. Except The Tragedy of Man."
the other plays to be given have not
been selected. but the list from which
choice probably will be made includ es
Lady Patricia" an amusing comedy
by Rudolf Besier. author Of Dom;
Mater" by Percy Mackaye; the Aristo,
phanes comedy, .Lysistrata." and Eliza
beth Bakers Chains" a serious play
Of modern life. The director of plays
will be Bertram Bloch. who produced
the Drama League plays given at Nc
kinley High School last spring.
1t Is the ambition of the PLAYERS to
organize a full stafr of amateur actors,
scenic artists, designers and mecha :
nicians. that the entire production In
each case may be the work of local
talent. All persons interested and will
ing to cooperate are invited to commu-
nicate at earliest opportunity with Mr..
