Drama is one OF the things that is
now, always was, and ever shall be.
The folk dances and games of our re-
mote ancestors were drama; so are
Barrie's Admirable Creighton" and
Shaw's you Never Can Tell" In old
en- times experiences in the life of the
race were atced out by the bard as
he sang of the deeds of the great man
Of his tribe, or by the braves as they
circled in the war dance. They. are
acted out by John Barrymore. in New
Yoi4s, in the year 1916, as he presents
the prisoner, "Falder" in Galsworthy's
Justice"
The drama, then, ancient and mod
ern, in view of the universally of its
appeal, is entirely worthy of study.
When we use the term study we do
not mean merely attendance at the
theatre. The acted play even grant
ing we could ali see it as often as we
wished, is not sufficient. Henry Ar
thur Jones, a mature dramatist OF 80
years experience, complains that most
Of us tend to confuse the drama with

ture is often more or less neglected
in the attention bestowed upon other
aspects of the show business. Yet it
is possible to SO study play that no
outer presentation, with all the pomp
Of the painted stage, can equal the
mental construction which the reader
has made. Who has not experienced
disappointment upon seeing Hamlet"
or "The Tempest" played, even by ar
lists? We grant that the acted drama
abjectifes the mental image and by
this means 're-intensifies the idea
which it embodies. Truly, it is an aid
to the expression of imagination, feel
ing and emotion AS means of vivid
imaging, it has legitimate place OF
its own. Nevertheless, is it not true
that all objective representation is on
a sensuous basis, and that the highest
fight has not been reached until,
through the study, the reader has risen
above the sensuous to the spiritual
conception to which the image was
but the means?
We are just now passing out Of a
period in which few plays were print
ed, and in which, therefore, few were
accessible for study Thanks to the
Drama League and other influences for
the changed condition Were it not
for the printed play, many noble
piece of dramatic art would pass into
oblivion. It is true that good plays

ing Entertainment.

When you have shot your rocket
don't hang on to the stick but start
something new, is a policy Of the Ohio
society. Having just held a most sue
cessful function plans are now being
made for the next one of a series of
pleasurable events to follow.
The height of the strawberry sea-
son is near and it is proposed to hold
a strawberry festival at which nice,
ripe, red. sweet strawberries and
cream, strawberry shortcake, ice
cream, cake, lemonade and coffee will
be served to the members and their
guests.
The main purpose Of the society is
to help people to get together, to get
acquainted and have good times.
Those who attend have many oppor-
tunities to have good times as there is
something worth while done at each
meeting. The business of the meet
ings is to have one good time and pre-
pare for another one. The society
takes in and contributes to the en-
joyment Of the whole family, old
and young. Families eligible to men,
bership by reason of having been resi-
dents of Ohio, who are not represent
ed in the membership, are cordially
invited to attend meetings and to be-
come members. A number of persons
who were lonesome before the society
was formed, have by means of it,,
made many new acquaintances, ac-
quired new interests and have been
made very happy and It Is hoped that
others similarly situated will also
come In and find pleasure that will
make them increasingly glad that
they are living.
