advise you, if the scenes Of the play

extremely useful. IT, however, the

that the characters are properly

that class in real life or counterpart,

Endeavor in your representation CT

identity and individuality in the part

upon to portray q product Of the

advice to you is to follow his couR-

the lack Of scenery are SO obvious

The arrangement OF lights is the
one that requires attention. "Foots"

In setting the stage-that is, pro-

TO BETTER selection for a
mi Christmas evenings entertain
nlent could be made than an
amateur dramatic performance.
1t affords not only amusement to large
circle of friends. but entertainment and
pleasure To the active participants in
preparing for the event. 1t does not nee
essarily follow that in order to produce
play one must have recourse to profess
sional aid. 1t is surprising what good
results and what really excellent per-
formances can be obtained with anna
teur talent. The task is not onerous.
and the rehearsals can be exceedingly
jolly, so that it will be considered a
pleasant relaxation and assume the
gayety ot a social gathering.
I have been asked to give some
suggestions which will be of aid to
any one desirous of promoting one Of
these amateur affairs. l shall take 1T
for granted in this article that the
entire production will be conducted
by those who have never had any
theatrical experience. The sugges-
tions offered are given in general
way, but are specific enough to cover
the ground.
The first thing 20 be considered is
the selection of play. That is rather
an important point. Do not choose
one that has Il large cast of char
acters. The reason for this is evil
dent. Numbers in affairs of this kind
create confusion and difficulties which
are hard to smooth out. The play
should be of character which will
from its su5ject-matter create inter-
est l would suggest that play be
selected which does not require
extraordinary ability and that is not
of melodramatic nature.
To my mind. the society drama is
the safest proposition. There are
many in this class which can be pre-
sented without wealth of scenery.
1 have in mind a play like "Rose-
mary" THE Liars Tyranny of
Tears" Young Mrs. Winthrop ''The
Wife, The Charity Ball." I could
name a score more, but merely men,
tion these in order to give the reader
an idea of the sort that will be found
easy to produce. For the right of
murring and will give them intelli-
