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
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
community drama meeting" Miss
MacKaye says in explaining her theo-
ry, land as | was riding along noticed
how many saloons there were-onc 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 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, IL 1t
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 I'M
derstand and appreciate their trad-
tons. 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 OPP
portunity to build up great commu-
nifty organization is now at hand and
the time is ripe for it. Why not utilize
the corner saloon?"

They left the car where it was ditch

Rutland, Vt, June 5, 1919

The Young Women's Christian AS

plans of especial interest for summer
work. The ideas for two very definite
ones have developed since the Older
Girls Conference, held in Rutland the
first of May, and have come directly
from that.
The first, in point of time, is o
conference of local leaders and poten-
tial leaders of girls, which is being
arranged on the initiative of the Y.
w. G. A., not to push organization,
but to give those most interested in
leadership opportunities, week to-
gether for definite training in the
principles of work with girls, for ms
piration, and for recreation in the
root sense of the word. This Lead
ers' Conference will be held from
June 20 to July 5, at Bishop Hopkins
