WHAT EVERY THEATRE
SHOULD AIM TO BE

A good theatre should be like the
library of an amiable and cultivated
man, says George Jean Nathan, in the
Smart Set; it should possess all the
virtues of such a library and all the
pleasant little vices. 1t should not be
devoted largely to the classics; a lib
rary composed largely of the classics
is the mark of the nouveau or the
dusty head.
1t should display what is best in the
old, for that is always fresh; it should
display what is best of the new, for
that is always arresting; it should
contain also the agreeable. unimport-
ant trifies that go TO chase away
thought and soberness with loud. low
chuckles. 1t should be theatre, like
the library. upon whose shelves stand
in juxtaposition reflection and belly
laughter. poetry and gay. low fig stuff,
wit and the torpedo bat, imagination,
honest sentiment, searching comment
and fair and lovely frontispieces
1t would show upon its shelves in
close proximity AristOphanes and
"Anatol,a Bahr and Bickel, Corneille
and Irene Castle, Feydeau and the
"Follies." Goethe and Lazy Gregory.

ner's Burlosquers

mans culture for granted. Il should

orations and reflections. be as as old

When asked their impression OF the
convention yesterday at Hotel Rem
merit. where for the first time women.
by invitation, assembled with the
Democratic State Central Committees
from the various counties, every
county in the State being represented.
several OF the Anne Arundel county
men said they we're impressed by the
character Of womanhood represented
in that large gathering. numbering
over 100 women from every county in
Maryland
There was nothing 10 suggest the
militant type of suffragist among
these women" said one of the lead
ing men politicians today. that class
being conspicuous by its absence"
There were no "dolled up" women
in this gathering, a rather unusual
thing when nearly every woman one
meets on the streets these days is
painfully rouged. cheeks and lips
painted. penciled and otherwise cam
oufiaged."
said one OF the Anne Arundel male
politicians. with the culture and re-
finement OF these women at the COM
mittee meeting, with their intelligence
depicted in their countenances, their
retiring manner for even after being
urged to speak, but three to four
spoke, and these in short, pertinent
speeches, brief and to the point"
The gathering OF representative
women at yesterdays committee
meeting was good showing for the
vote Democracy wants to bring out
to the polls for registration and at
election time.
The Anne Arundel women were i'm
pressed by the uniform courtesy of
the men. Gallant, chivalrous. thought
full of their women friends who are
to meet them at the polls. Not one
man attempted to smoke in the room
where the meeting was held. Al
though some were horribly tempted
they rose and left the room before
lighting cigar or cigarette.
ut is proof positive that men of
the South cannot forget they are gen.
tlemen. whether or not the women
whom they once considered their SUI
periors are now their equals. said
one of the Anne Arundel committee
women, and others agreed with her.
