Recommends Cooperation to Take the Place of "One Lead" Work
TALKS TO THEATRICAL STARS
Each Can Play n Part in Develop
 mcnt or American Democracy He
 Tells Group of Actors and Actrcss- {. es at Marion. Today.

Marion, O.. Aug. 2f.--A plea that ,he nation get away from "one-lead" -actIvities SO that each citizen can inlay his part in the development of American democracy" was made to- day by Senator Harding in an nd- dress to a delegation of actors and ac- trcrSes representing the Harding and Coolidge theatrical league.
 He deprecated any tendency of Am orleans to regard themselves as "citi- zens of the world" adding that he personally was mot so universal"
 "I have been thinking lately" he ~aid. that there is great likeness be- tween political life under popular government and many of our most successful productions on tho staG SC. There are many plays especially writ ten for notable stars and their pre- re entation has depended largely on the work Of portrnying one genius. Thero ia of course, s fascination in the one load drama. hut it makes the speCia- tor very much dependent upon ore Individuality. and If the star should he incapacitated for any reason, there is inevitable disappointment, l think tt is very practical thing to suggest that our American popular govern pnent ought not to be a one-lead or sa one-star drama of modern civili- zat'on. I want to commend the policy of each and everyone having his part to play, and we all must play with enthusiasm in order to perfect the whole production.
 ''wo have been drifting lately under onc-iead activities and I am sure the American people are going to wei aome change of the bill. For the supreme offering we need the all star cast presenting America td all the world"
 The nominec'R reference to Ameri- ranism was made In expressing his appreciation of the faithfuIness with which legal power tx portrayed in .'T.harles ""
 There is no kingship in thIs ie- public" hc said. but thoughtful Ann row. Is our civilization secure? Every normal human being wishes for better morrow than. today.
 Some or our people lately have neen wishinE to become citizens of the world. Not SO long since I met 1ne elderly daughter of Virginia. who would have been Justified in Aoasting her origin in the old Domin- Ton and utterfng her American pride. but I was sto"ptd to hear her s1v T am no longer an American, am A. citizen of the world
 Frankly. I am not SO universal. I rejoice to be an American. and love the name, the land. the people and the lag"
