THE CHILDREN'S CIRCUS
COMING.

The Children's Circus always
proves one of the biggest attractions
of the entire Chautauqua. Only the
most competent, capable and attrac-
tive supervisors are secured for the
Children's work and the results are
most beneficial. Besides the instruc-
ton and supervised play, the children
put on their own big circus the morn

are usually much more complicated
and brilliant than one would mag

A Serious Movement, 1t Should
Be Taken Seriously

1t may be that Thursday night will
see the beginnings of a new movement
on the American stage. Potentially, it
is as rich in possibilities as any that
have preceded il. 1t all depends on the
spirit in which the public receive it.
If they go expecting to see burlesque,
they will not only be disappointed; they
will be ashamed. If they go with SYM
pathy for the attempt and an apprecia-
ton of its difficulties and aspirations,
they may be witnessing the first stir
rings of a really distinctive American
drama.

is a weird and primitive negress. Her

has devoted her life to the publication

hearsing the part of an Egyptian slave,
make an obeisance before the king (who
was not there. 1t was move which,
if it were being rehearsed by an average
actor. would have to be done over, at a

times, and then probably abandoned as

sense of what was right, made as per-

have been drawn with pair of COM

to build such a movement as will event

to carry it on. A National Negro The

colored playwrights, dealing with the
many problems of negro life, acted by
colored players who devote their whole
time to the performance of this service

ago their success could hardly have been
prophesied.

NJ THIS RI THE NATIVE AMERICAN DRAMA

Tn various corners Of the big stage were
little knots Of characters going over
their lines. The general effect was Of
the musical, softly undulating drone Of
particularly intelligent bees.
The director and author have not
tried TO direct in the sense that COM
panv of white actors have to be directed.
The producers are trying to give the
players as free a rein as possible, hoping
that they will play the parts as they feel
they ought to be played. 1t may be
necessary to stand by and call out to
cast of white actors just how to make
this gesture. or read that line, what
position to take when up-stage or how
to walk when advancing to the foot
lights, but in this case it is felt that it
will be better to let the players make
the first move themselves. Then, il they
end I'D standing squarely in front of
some one else or find pose which is
out of keeping with the rest of the pict-
ure, the director may direct. But in
matters of essential beauty in intona-
ton and movement it is fairly safe to
wait for the negro actor to demonstrate
it for him or her self.

ment Of this theme makes the piece one
of unusual interest. 1t was performed
at special matinees of the New York
Stage Society two seasons ago, with
Dorothy Donnelly in the leading part.
The cast for all three plays has been
chosen from colored people from all over
the city. Few of them have been acting
in negro stock companies, for it was
found that long association with melo-
drama and comedy written for white
actors had made them less natural IN
their speech, more stacy in their gest-
ures and not so we'll adapted to the ex-
preston of the pure African as those
who have not initiated themselves away
from it.

Much Reliance Is Placed on fne
Actors Natural Inclination

Many of those chosen have had ex-
perience in elocution and dramatic read
ing or in vaudeville, where their natural
talents had been developed. I saw one
girl, who last week was on vaudeville
stage in Brooklyn, rehearsing the part
of stately Ethiopian woman, and there
vas a dignity of pose and richness of
tone in her work that were as far re-
moved from the trained-seal circuit as
she herself was from the Ethiopia she
was interpreting.
A few of the actors have never had
histrionic experience at all. But each
one has been selected because of his or
her particular fitness for the part to be
played. The morning rehearsal which
attended was triple-barrelled affair.

Three Plays of Negro Life To BE
Acted by Negroes

In fact. he was so much impressed by
the power for natural grace and free
dom of motion disclosed in the colored
utility man that, when he heard OF the
three plays which Mrs. Emile Hapgood
is to present. written for negroes and
to be acted by negroes, he offered TO
design the scenery and costumes and tc
attend personally to the production.
This will indicate the plane on which
this new movement of the theatre IS to
be handled. There will be no negro
uinstrelsy and no tawdry imitation OF
hite-folks melodrama. White actors
,ldn't play these parts. They don't

NURING one of the rehearsals for
the Russian Ballet last spring
Robert Edmond Jones, who de-
signed the scenery and costumes, was
standing in the wings, watching the
dancers. Beside him stood a coloreq
man, who was serving in various capacl-
ties about the theatre-errand boy,
scene shifter, general utility man. He,
too. was watching the dancers. If cat
NAV look at a king without offence
there certainly should be no harm IN
that.
Suddenly he turned to Jones and said;
That's not right. They don't co 1t
right"
And the colored utility man then pro-
ceeded to elucidate to the designer his
ideas on the poetry of motion. The
Russians were too studied, he intimated.
They thought about the move they were
going to make next, and thought clogs
free motion. A dance should be natu-
raj, a gesture spontaneous, movement
unprecedented, to be really beautiful.
And he demonstrated what he meant.
Oddly enough. Jones didn't laugh. These
artists have a queer sense Of humor.

he shot at Mr. Eberding, who halls
from Portland, is a true sportsman in
the opinion Of all the members of the
association, and at all times breaks
his full quota of targets, as well as
lending dignity to the game. DIR. Blair,
a California lover of the game, has
promised to attend the four days shoot
to be staged in this city in April, and
also promises to settle the dispute be-
tween himself and that left quarter
bird.
At the annual meeting of the associ-
alton held Saturday evening, W. B.
Twitchell was chosen president, Del
MOrrell secretary and H. P. De Mund,
treasurer. Present at this meeting was
w. A. Joslyn of San Francisco, and re-
Gently of New York. The members
were more than pleased to learn that
he is not only noted for his ability to
make friends but to keep them. He
was the recipient of nice letter. ac-
companying which was a beautiful
bouquet of flowers from two of his
friends living near Los Angeles.
Honorable mention was made of the
shooting of Ed L. Mitchell on the first
day of official shooting. when follow
ing close on the heels of the record
made by H. E. Poston, who broke 492
birds out of a possible 500, he broke
4S6 targets out of the same number
possible.
Members of the Arizona Sportsmen's
Association are more than enthusiastic
over the meet just closed and predict
that the next one will be even more
successful, although just now they can
hardly see how that would be possible.
Below is the complete score for the
meet
