Ben Greet, as we all know, is the
man who made the famous green
curtains a standard in dramatic art.
Holding that elaborate scenic effects
and art fetal aids had stunted the ap-
prec alton and imagination OF mod
ern audiences and that, due to these,
real dramatic ability was fast becom-
ing the lesser part Of a play, Ben
Greet brought back the green cur
tains of Shakespeares time Against
tbese as BACKGROUND the whole
thought must center on the dramatic
ability of the artists.
in presenting more modern plays,
Pero val Vivian has conceded a bit
more in scenic effects than Ben
Greet. but he has aimed to keep his
backgrounds simple. collapsible tapes

right amount OF background, still
hold their giitful place as the back
ground against which real art can be
