PROHIBITION TO BRING
COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE
Hazel Mackaye Advises Using Build
Inas as centers for Drama, Com
munity Sings and Enter
tainments. rt''

Why not turn the corner saloon into
q 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
a community drama meeting" Miss
MacKaye says in explaining her theo-
ry, land 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, 1t seemed; all just
blazing with lights. Those lights ought
not to 60 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 a great deal In
the way of Americanizati0n can be eff
fected.
Through the community center, II 1t
be in a 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 n
derstand and appreciate their tradi-
lions. 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. v laws
such as child labor and minimum wage,
could be interpreted to these people
by means Of p%agenntry. >
"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 OPP
portunity to build up a great commu-
nifty organization Is now at hand. and
the time is ripe for it. Why n o utilize
the corner s~aloon?"

Ever since the armistice terms Of

that Germany would accepts n peace

Victorious; Allies to impose upon her.

power to- ansabsolute and literal mtni-

hostility had vanished.

delegation sign the peace treaty II ~
newspapers like the Hamburger
Nachrichten attempt to impress upon
their readers the view that whatever
the Allies are preparing to dictate, Will
be, inspired by greed and a desire for
revenge: the Hamburger Fremdenolatt
insists that unless the Allies guarantee
the return of the German merchant

tung recommends that the Germans
follow the example Of the Russians at

at destroying their country.

certain American circles a grow

MEMS CLEE CLUB

STATE TOUR TODAY

The University Mems Glee club left
this morning for Langdon, where they
will give their opening concert OF n
annual state tour. Under the leader
ship of E. H. Wilcox, acting head of
the university music department, the
organization will appear in concert In
seven cities in the state, and. will close
the tour in time to be back to the
university with the beginning of the
last quarter. After giving the first
concert at Langdon tonight, they will
appear in Park River, Larimore. Bot
tineau, Minot. New Rockford and
Cooperstown.
Eighteen men are with the club this
year on its tour, and the %soloists will
be Watt, Liebler, Perry Leick and
Rygh. A flute and vocal solo will be
among the special features of the pro-
gram. The first part Of the program
will consist of chorus and solo work
by the club members and the second
part will be given over to stunts and
fun.

1t is not probable that Germany
will consider herself in a position to

still have at least some stores of arms
and ammunition, their equipment will
