Why has Brooklyn lost its glorious
past in amateur dramatics? This is a
question that has been pulling the
community for many years.
Where are the old supporters Of the
wonderful Amaranth. Booth. Gilbert
and Kcmblc societies; and especially
where is the enthusiastic following Of
the glorious Brooklyn Amateur Opera
Company?
These arc questions that one would
imagine would excite the interest OF
every one interested IN Brooklyns
progress and growth. but does any one
remember when the doings Of these
great organizations Of Brooklyn ANA

George Cutshaw will be the Dodgers
second baseman again this year. AL
though recent reports indicated that
Robinson would supplant the veteran
with Laverne Fabrique, the Provi-
dence infielder, 1t is now a foregone
conclusion that Cutskaw will be at
his old post when the season starts
and that the International league re-
cruit will play shortstop in place of
Ivy Olson.
Cutshaw's poor g., playing in the
worlds series against the Boston Red
Sox last autumn, 1t had been rumored,
would cost him his Job. but, accord
ing u reliable reports, Uncle Robbie
will stand by his second ha&man for
another season at least. Robbie has
excused Cutshaw for his bad playing
in the big series. He declares that all
the other members Il the Dodgers
were just as much to blame for the
loss of the contests as the second
baseman, despite the fact that he
failed at time when victory was
<ithin the grasp OF the Flatbush gren-
adiers. However, Robbie likes Cut
shaw for the team spirit ne shows
and Is sure to hold on to him.
