Herman is wanted TO oppose the
little Britisher for the main reason
that at present Herman is the recog-
mixed champion OF the 11s Founders
Should Herman demur, Londoners are

With a purse of S25.000 as an at

up for a bout with Wilde. Then again
Herman may feel somewhat as does

Wilde is mighty popular In England
and undoubtedly could win as big an

seems the little fellow is getting such
a following that his hackers are aEer
to wager almost any sum on his abil-

cabled TO Moore and Herman was ac-
companied with a suggestion that
there can be a side bet OF $4,000 il
Herman or Moore is so inclined.
Moore Out for Contest.
II is almost certain that Moore will

PROHIBITION TO BRING
COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE
Hazel Mackaye Advises Using Bald
lngs as Centers for Drama, Com

tanments.

Why not turn the corner saloon into
a 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?
II went over on the West Side of
New York one night recently TO attend

MacKaye says in explaining her theo-
ry, land as l was riding along noticed
how many saloons there were-one on
every corner and another in the mid
die of the block, II 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
aingS?'
Miss MacKaye feels that the wal
has given a great impetus TO ror,;lal
interest in drama and that through
pageantry and drama great deal il
the way of AmericaniZation can he eff
fected.
Through the community center, If Il
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 great commu
nifty organization is now at hand, ant
the time is ripe for it. Why not utilize
