zation is under way here. with excellent
prospects of success. Last spring the
Drama League of this city authorized its
players group to produce series of one
act plays. as an experiment in playgiv-
ing on a non-commercial basis. Four
one-act pieces were staged at the Nc
kinley High School. the use of which
was granted for the purpose by the board
of education. and presented on two sue
cess1ve evenings toward the close of
May. They drew several hundred per-
sons, and were sufficiently appraised as
dramatic performances that it was de-
cided by the directors of the Drama
League to authorize movement toward
the establishment of a little theater"

seen plays of merit
