PROHIBITION TO BRING
COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE
Hazel Mackaye Advises Using Build
ings as centers for Drama, Conn.,
munity Sings and Enter
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 PageantrS
and Drama of the Rational Young Wo-
mems Christian Association?
81 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 was riding along 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 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 great impetus to popular
interest in drama and that through
pageantry and drama great deal in
the way of Americanization can be ef-
fected. =,
Through the community center. If It
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 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-
er," 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?"

RUSSIAN STATUS
INVITES ACTION
Allies Concerned Over Boil
shevik Situation; War
May Be Necessary.

That the Russian question is fast
assuming first place in the minds OF
the allies is reflected in the fact that
Russian news predominates in the Of
fetal dispatches received within the
past twenty-four hours here. Re-
ports bearing upon the progress Of
the Bolshevists, many undoubtedly
colored, show that throughout Europe
leaders are considering means for an
early solution of the muddle.
The State Department yesterday
issued a statement that typhus is
spreading in Russia, being prevalent
among the civilian and military popu-
lations.
A report sent from Berlin stated
that the towns of Gnesen, Robowe
and Wrechen are in the hands of the
Poles, who have taken much ammu-
rule Of the Poles This dispatch is
pointed to as evidence that the
Polish forces are well led and may
be depended upon to hold their east
ern border against the Bolshevists.
Allies Work with Peles.
1t is held that the allies are work
ing in accord with the Poles, the
speech by Coll Wade. of the British
army at Posen, the use of British
warships by the Poles, and the use of
Polish troops by the French at
Odessa being pointed out as evidence
that the Bolshevik armies may meet
with strong measures from the allies.
1t was also stated yesterday that
1000 French soldiers have reached
Budapest and that every effort will
be made to prevent any Bolshevist
disorders in Hungary.
War May be Best.
It is understood that neither the
British government nor President VIII
son has been satisfied that a sure
cure for the Russian trouble has been
put forward from any quarter. Presi-
dent Wilson has held that the Russia n
people should be permitted to work
out their own salvation. He has
agreed, however, that a quick, vigor-
Gus war against Russia may be bet
ter for the world than the reported
lawlessness which appears to be with
out and within the Russian borders.
The French government appears to
be committed to stronger measures of
repression than have been put forth to
date.
Italy, always fearful of Austrian and
Russian invasion from the north, is
also deeply concerned.
