The Drama League of America, at its |
chicago Convention. officially declared
that the naughty bedroom comedy. the
hare legs. the bare backs, the garter
show. indecency. vnlgarity, and pro-
unity must be driven from the stage
The ladies and gentlemen who com
posed this league have proposed that
a buvers' strike be held next winter
unless the producers furnish more
decent productions than they sent on
the road last year. These leaders say
that the public will pay to sec decent
productions. il they are cleveTiy done.
There is much truth in that last
statement. Contrary TO the general
opinion. it is the clean show, expertly
written and well-acted, which has the
longest run in New York, and which

Nor what his garb-of him the world

ments of civcs. 1t is the purpose of
this department of the w. c. T. u. t

AmericanlZatin classes in the factories
or shops.
An Americanization center was
opened and carried on in New York

ter in Chicago has been in operation

ready established itself in the life of
the people OF the neighborhood.
