Che Days Best 'Choughts
The, Art Of Life
and Building
"The Open Air Playhouse"
EDITED BY NOBLE FOSTER HoGGsoN
PRESIDENT uocCsoN BRorHERs BUILDERS

The happy possessor OF an estate,
no matter how remote, or cf house
with grounds, is not living up to his
opportunities ii he has not given
theater parties in his own open-air
"playhouse.' Accept the word OF
the critics and OF those dramatiSts
who are today giving new lie to
the stage in America and i'll Europe.
The country dweller may thus not
only lift his home to new social inn
portancc, but he may make 1t an
artistic civic asset, and have part
in the making OF the new, con-
structiye drama OF the times.
For both in America and in Eu-
rope, the drama is breaking its
chains. More, it is bursting the con-
fines OF the commercial playhouseS,
and, as in the time OF good Queen
Bess and the Italian Renaissance,
is taking to the open. 1t is the ar
listic expression OF the hour, and,
happily, it is within the reach OF
any American families TO be not
merely patronizers, but patrons OF
this art which is shaking itself like
Samson and crying aloud for open
spaces and the return OF its ancient
Nigor.
shakespeare himself is coming
back to the open, and the modernS
who are busy breaking shackles,
are following when they are not
leading the way. As in the days
oi Queen BcSS, who loved gardens
and outdoor masques and comedies
under the afternoon sun or the
stars-if YOU have lott. or a barn
or a likely nook in your grounds,
troupes OF players, than whom there
are few more gifted, will bring the
choicest offerings OF the classical
and modern stage directly to YOU.
There are nearly score OF such
organizations in New York City
alone, half of them on the way to
recognized eminence, and few ar
rived there On the Pacific coast
there are nearly as many. Travel
ing from coast to coast are other
organizations, who will convert a
barn or schoolroom or 4 corner
OF your lawn into a stage and give
you what you will from Shakes
peare to the newest protestor
against stage traditions. Rosalind
asserts anew her love in real For
est OF Arden; the Irish little folk
of the new interpreters OF Old
Erin sport in real glades Maeter-
linck's ethereal fancies and all our
modern candidates for classical rec
ognition betake themselves right

blithely to wide spaces OF Natures 5
own playhouSeS,
That little rocky slope that long
has puzzled you, that part OF your
grounds that doesn't seem entirely
to fit in, may be a silent invitation
to YOU to construct in this natural
amphitheater a Greek theater OF the
most effective type.
That comparatively level space At
the foot oi the slope--ii it be sep
arated from the inclin by a small
stream or gully, so much :hc better
for open-air acouStics-can be made
stage with little trouble, and ii
that fringe OF trees be not thick
enough for 4 back drop curtain,
you have two happy choices-you
can create your permanent drop by
transplanting more trees, moving
them when half grown, or you can
depend upon your players to sup
ply the deficiency by one OF score
OF charming eNpedients we'll known
to those who wear sock and buSkln
in the open.
Possibly you have only an apple
orchard with 4 small, comparative
" level knoll, just large enough to
use lor a stage, or a depression OF
similar siZe-it makes little differ
ence ont ot doors whether the stage
is elevated or depressed. The Ap-
pie Orchard Theater AT Harrison
burg, Va, the scene oi many notable
productions. has shown how effec-
lively can be used an open space
under the trees, with Il hedge OF
box, or a screen OF underbush, for
a background.
California, whose inspiring eli
mate lures most of her folk to the
open, is leading the way with Greek
theaters, modelled upon the lines OF
the best survivals OF antiquity, but
enriched by happy adaptation OF
shrubbery and clipped trees for the
purposes OF drop curtains.
The dramatic muse has come
again to field and forest. She was
born under the open sky, and when,
from long confinement within walls,
she grows weary of her task, she
has only to be drawn into wide, free
spaces, to give again something new
strange and inspiring. Such an out
pouring is seemingly at hand.
Meanwhile, Rosalind, Puck and the
fairies lead a glad procession OF
stage folk back to the glades in the
train of the Muse. And ii you
make an outdoor abiding place for
these, it is possible you may snare
a Sothern, a Maude Adams or a
Bernhardt.
