AIS OF TO the amateurs OF
Washington, And hats off,
also, to those whose interest
II and culture contributed to
the celebration of the Shake
spearean tercentenary in the capital of
the nation. What commercial interest
in the drama left undone for such a
notable occasion has been splendidly
supplied by the graceful tribute of dis
tinguished players and the talented
product of the cultured homes of Wash
ington. Mrs. Christian Hemmick's
masoue, Shakespeare Triumphant"
made possible by the players group of
the Fine Arts Society, with the assist
ance of Mr.. and Mrs r. D. Shepherd
and of Mrs. Hubbard, known to profess
sional life as r. D. Mclean. Odette Ty
Ter and Gwendolyn Logan, was a wor-
thy tribute to the Bard of Avon. Taken
all in all. it is something to be proud
of.
The amateurs opened the week aus
piciously with a presentation of Flo
tow's opera. Martha" by the Commu
nifty Singers. who displayed. at least in
a musical way. talent highly creditab BILE
While. perhaps, through that peculiar
nervousness that hedges the stage. they
lacked the grace and easy carriage of
the professional. the young singers
nevertheless carried themselves in
way to win genuine Endorsement from
their patrons. If each deserving one
failed to shine in cold type in the re-
views. consolation may be found in the
reflection that the approval of the au-
diences was unmistakable and that the
critic is only one person after all. Great
players have suffered from the same
neglect.
The plays presented by the Washing
ton branch of the Drama League at the
Mckinley High School are to be taken
not SO much as a bid for approval of
the players as suggestions from
thoughtful students of the possibilities
for the stage in the way of refined and
enjoyable entertainment. They plainly
pointed the moral that the worth of
plays is not dependent upon elaborate
stage equipment. and inversely that
such equipment. in latter days. has
been employed rather to gloss over the
inferior workmanship of the play
wright than to meet the demands of the
pubic fer pleasure for the eye rather
than for thu mind. II was demonstrat-
ed IN Shakespeares day that GOOD
play and good players required very
little in the way of scenic environment
to make everlasting fame
at the time when the weary actor
bids 4 reluctant farewell to the waning
season for "a summer of discomfort" or
perhaps the message of the wild waves
at the seashore. the Belasco startles
the public with the announcement of at
least three new plays. Tomorrow
