Amateurs Should Only Play Comedies

The December Woman's Home Com.
panion says in an article about ANA.
teurs who wish to produce plays:
Tragedy and farce should be avoid.
ed. These are extremes and demand
a most delicate and finished art to pre-
vent them from being either under or
over-played. Comedy and pathos, sat.
ire and the more imaginative plays
Will be found much more easy and ef-
fectiye. As the amateur is usually
weak in detail and finish. the play OF
character rather than that Of plot is
best for his use. In selecting your
play, first be sure that 1t is worth the
time and trouble you are going to have
to spend on It; and, second, remember
that the deepest enjoyment is found
