Mr.. Howelrs speech was responded
20 by Mr. J, Mack Towne of Tampa.
His speech sounded most pleasantly
TO the ear Of every Marion county
ite.
Before the year 1895 we were told
that the average Marion county citi-
zen appeared to other citizens Of
Florida as if all "puffed-up" with
pride because those that were not
Orange kings" we're orange lords"
and put it over" the citizens Of the
balance Of the state as if they felt
sorry for them
After a certain night in that mem
orabIe year these priucely citizens
were wearing long and doleful faces
and acted for all the world as if lea
bod had been written on the portals
OF their homes" they could see no
silver lining anywhere in the dark
clouds that hung over the future, but
the clouds soon broke with a more
effulgent and lasting light than ever
before.
The speaker told in graphic lam
guage how this came about. He said
that he was the manager of the first
state fair held at Tampa and one H.

c. 3. Howell

The address Of welcome from the
Marion District Association was ex-
tended by Sovereign c. b. Howell.
The speaker is one Of our prosper
Gus and progressive farmers and
those who have had the pleasure Of
hearing him speak have been made
to know that the gift OF oratory is
not confined to the court house col
iege or lecture platforms.
Mr. HowelIs speech was an exca.
lent one. It was frank, generous ana
spontaneous. He said that he was re-
joiced to know that the association
In its aims was no "pent up Utica,
but embraced tire country as well as
the towns and cities in its uplifting
efforts and he hoped that the mem
bers would extend their visitations
to the county homes and see what
a warmth OF welcome would meet
them. Like Ocala they would find
every lock broken and every door
open. Thoy would behold smoke,
houses, well filled with home-eured
hams and bacon. barrels bullying
with syrup and tables loaded with
plenty
In his creation, mr. Howell said.
God was generous in his gifts to our
county: that He gave us not only =
lovely landscape but a rich soil as
well. and those who we're fortunate
enough to make it their homes had
cast their lines in pleasant places"
Mr.. Howell's speech was roundly
applauded.

PROHIBITION TO BRING
COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE
Hazel Mackaye Advises Using Build
ings as Centers for Drama, Com
munity Sings and Enter
tainments,

Why not turn the corner saloon into
community playhouse when the law
effects the closing of these gathering
places, asks Miss Hazel MacKaye, di
rector of the Department of Pageantry
and Drama of the Rational Young Wo-
mems Christian Association?
Il went over on the West Side of
New York one night recently to attend
community drama meeting" Miss
Mackaye says in explaining her theo-
ry, "and as l was riding along l noticed
how many saloons there were-one on
every corner and another in the mid
die Of the block, it seemed, all just
blazing with lights. Those lights ought
not to go out with prohibition. They
ought to shine for something worth
while to all of the people, and what
better than community drama and
sings?"
Miss MacKaye feels that the war
has given a great impetus to popular
interest in drama and that through
pageantry and drama great deal in
the way of Americanization can be eff
fected
Through the community center, If it
be in district populated largely of
one foreign nationality, these people
could present pageants of the life in
their mother countries. translating
them into English. so that Americans
and also the younger English speaking
members of their household could un-
derstand and appreciate their tradi-
tions. American art would be greatly
enriched thus through the drama of
all of the nations whose peoples have
settled in this country On the other
hand American ideals, American his
tory and American festivals, even laws
such as child labor and minimum wage,
could be interpreted to these people
by means of pageantry.
people have been learning not only
to work together, but to play togeth-
err" Miss MacKaye says, "particularly
since the war, when the people stood
together in drives and large patriotic
community entertainments. The op-
portunity to build up a great commu-
nifty organization is now at hand, and
the time is ripe for it. Why not utilize
the corner saloon?"
