believe it would he possible to give eleven
consecutive performances of "The Tenn
pest" and that this run was probably
worlds record. To prove. themselves
abreast Of the times, in regard to the best
that is being done in the realm of the
theatre abroad, the Pasadenans made the
first expressionist production of king
Lear" in America last Winter.
Other notable productions made by the
Pasadena Community Players include
Molere's LIE Bourgeois Gentilhomme"
and "Tartuffe," Sheridan's '"The Rivals"
and "The School for Scandal" Goldsmiths
"She Stoops to Conquer" Ibsen's an
Enemy of the People" Pinero's "Tre-
lawncy of the Wells" and His House in
Order" Wilde's "The Importance of Be
ing Earnest" and Lady Windermeres
Fan" Shaw's "Androcles and the Lion"
and "You Never Can Toll" Jerome's "The
Passing of tho Third Floor Back" Bur-
nett's "a Little Princess THE Palace of
TRUTH" by Gilbert and Sullivan; TOO
Many Cooks" by Frank Craven; Little
Women" by Louisa M. Alcott; "Strife,"
by Galsworthy; Potash and Perlmutter,"
by Montague Glass, and lot of others.
As practically none of the foregoing
plays are on the road any longer and
stock companies do very few of them, for
business reasons, the people of Pasadena
would not have had chance to see them
but for the existence of such an organiza-
ti0n as the Community Players. To their
further credit is the fact that last season
they put on three of the six greatest
American plays of the past decade: "Be-
yond the Horizon" by Eugene O'Neill;
Great Britain Riahts Rssarvad

''The Great Divide" by William Vaughn
Moody. and The Yellow Jacket" by
Hazelton and Benrimo.
For production this year the Pasaden-
ans have scheduled Polly With Past"
Middleton and Bolton; Arms and tho
Man" G. p. Shaw: "Shcrlock Holmes"
Gillette and Doyle; "The Cricket on the
Hearth" Dickens; Wedding Bells,
Field; "My Lady's Dress" Knehlock;
Come Seven" Cohen; David Harum,"
Westcott; '"The Copperhead," Thomas,
and "Seven Days" Rinehart
There is no reason why any city in the
United States of 5000 and over should
not have a group of community players.
The plan Of organization in Pasadcra is
elastic enough TO hF adapted to any local
itv. And wherever people arc fOuud,
there is also dramatic ability to he found ;;
for it is natural 10 act--to pretend. II is
not necessary to have what is generally
known as professional finish or stage man
nrriSms, to be able to put on n play salts
factorily. The principal asset is enthu-
siasm and a capable director.
In both of these departments, the P2sa-
dena Community Playhouse has been ex-
ceptionally fortunate. Its membership of
1900 last year will be tripled this season.
And much of the organizations success
has beel due to the capabilities of its
play director, Gilmor Brown, who left the
professional stage because of his belief
in the community ideal. In the course of
a year Pasadena gets tourists from all
parts of the world, who have seen III"
hest that is done everywhere. Many of
them have commended Mr.. Browns pro-
ductiOns in the Community Playhouse as
being on a par with the most interesting
things to he seen in Moscow, Berlin, Man
chester and Provincetown. This is all the
more remarkable when the limited facili
ties are considered that he has to work
with. Effects are obtained in the moth
eaten little temple that cannot but excite
admiration. And even greater wonders
are achieved with inexperienced people,
undct his leadership.
TIe rapid increase with which COM
munty playhouses are springing up all
over bne land has given rise to new vo-
catioh-that of the community play direc-

tire departments seeking TO interest the
amateur producers in plays whose dra-
matte rights they control. Until recently,
few non-professional groups ever thought
of using play for which they had to pay
royalties. But the Pasadenans early
found them good investments Since they
set the pace, the play brokers have found
the amateurs well worth cultivating and
encouraging The trade journals of the
theatre all have their little theatre de-
partments" now, devoted to the news of
the amateur producers.
Further evidence of the non-profes-
siOnal play activity having caught on is
seen in the fact that one Of the reigninr
Broadway successes right now, The
TorChhearerS," is all about q group of
amateurs. As George Ade once remarked:
''Thcy never jump on a dead ono" To
be sure, this farce is exaggerated. though
it does take off the old-fashioned amateur
dramatic club rather neatly. However,
there is no occasion to sneer at the anna
teur for David Garrick. the greatest Eng
lish speaking actor OF all times. was one
before he espOused the stage as d career,
and SO was Sir Beerbohm Tree.
The modern community playhouse, ac-
cOrding to the Pasadena standard, is moth
ing like "Thc Torchb"arcrS." On the con-
trary, it is an efficient organization with a
business manager, publicity director,
stage manager and all. Ii has q governing
board, elected by the membership, which
outlines policies and sits regularly like the
directors Of bank. And in it's various
departments there is something for each
and every member of the community to
do, besides acting. There arc costumes
TO be made, scenery to be showed. pro-
grams to he passed and so on ad fnitum.
junior director is even provided for the
children to put on their own PLAYS, and
music is an integral part of all programs.
AS stated in the beginning, the primary
purpose of the Pasadena Community
Playhouse is TO bring people together in
joyful cooperation. The play that is put
on is really of secondary importance,
though it is the direct means of holding
the people together. And, taken all in
all, it is good fun, as 10000 of Pasadena
will testify, VINO paid anywhere from 25
cents to 81 last year to see the score of
different plays that were given.
They are all better supporters e the

not usually catch the fancy of the general
public. They are too often of the odd
type tagged high brow"
While the Pasadena Community Play
house is little theatre, by reason of the
fact that it seats less than 500 persons, it
Is not little theatre in the sense that the
plays which it offers have q limited ap-
peal. Neither is it an art theatre, as such,
for the dilettante, although it aims to put
on all of its plays in an artistic manner.
In the course of the season the Com
munity Players seek to offer something
that will appeal to all the varied elements
that 60 to make up the population Pasa-
dena, which is just like that of any other
average American city, in spite of its
reputation for being the home of retired
millionaires. The bulk of the Inhabitants
are just folks.
In five years the Community Playhouse
has put on nine Shakespearean plays,
record which few dramatic organizations,
professional or otherwise, can surpass.
They are Twelfth Night" "The Tenn
pest" "The Merry Wives of Windsor"
1.-The Tanning of the Shrew," "Much Ado
About Nothing" "a Midsummer Nights
Dream" "The Comedy of Errors" king
Lear and CAS- You Like It." For this
season "Love's Labors LOST is scheduled.
None OF these famous dramas was given
less Than seven times and some ran even
tW1ce that long, to capacity audiences,
which indicates that the Pasadena anna
teurs are able to do the classics at least to
the satisfaction of their patrons. One
writer of dramatic topics said that no.

results from volunteers. That
is different than producing
plays with salaried people
whom you can order about.
To help meet this demand
the Pasadena Community
Playhouse Association con-
ducts a Summer art colony
each year, in which aspirants
are taught the fundamentals
of this new work. They must
know how to design and build
sets, make and dye costumes,
outline campaigns for getting
cooperation, besides coaching
the players. And another
highly important thing is ito
sell" the community play
house TO the people. They are
not self-starters. and il takes
time to get them interested.
To this end. it is necessary to
line up the local newspapers
and make boosters" Of them.

As a result of these activities, v rit-
able dramatic Renaissance is in progress.
which is bound to exert a healt1ful inr =
ence on the American stage, as an institu-
tlOn. Our schools are more than a bus-
ness, despite the fact that teachers and
others legitimately depend on them for a
livelihood. The same applies to the thea
tire, as has long been recognized in Eu-
rope. But over here we still think Of it
chiefly a. place where amusemer' is

The more people who take an active in

do, the better for it. For to know TIE
inside workings of the theatre-meaning
not necessarily Broadway-but the me-
dium Of expression built up around the
stage, Is to have Il higher respect for its
aimls, ideals and possibilities.
To make actors is farthest from the
purpose Of the Pasadena Community
Playhouse. In place of that it seeks to
provide opportunity for self-expression in
the allied arts of the theatre, to all who
are qualified, under the leadership of tech
nically trained directors. In five years
time several thousand Pasadenans have
taken part in community plays and, of
that entire number, only three are known
to have cherished stage ambition. The re-
mainder regard their participation as a
pastime and they enter into it like they
would a game of golf or tennis.
Community players are all amateurs in
the best sense of the word, in that they
play for the love of it rather than as a
business. They all volunteer their services,
the only ones receiving pay being the di
rector and business staff, who give their
entire time to the work. Unfortunately,
in the past, amateur thcatricals have sug
g,.Strd a sort of modern chamber Of hOr-
rOrs, where vainsl0rioU5 persons disported
themselves to the applause OF blind par
ents and indulgent friends.
The term little theatre" as it is used
nowadays, connotes dramatic activities Of
various sorts. Having a small seating ca

BODY OF JAMES CAIN ARRIVES
AT OLD HOME

Back from the soil of France,
where it had lain since the days of
the world-war, the body of James
Cain, Bourbon county boy, killed in
action in one of the great battles in
France, arrived in Paris, yesterday
afternoon, at $3.50 o'clock. and was
taken to the home Of his father,
John p. Cain. The body, accompani-
ed from camp Knox, at Louisville,
by guard of honor composed of two
members of the regular army, was
met at tho Tenth street passenger
station of Che l.. & N. by a picked
detail from Bourbon Post of the
American Legion, who acted as a
personal escort to the home.
The funeral will be held at the
Church of the Annunciation, in this
city, at 2:30 O'Clock, Sunday after
noon, with services conducted by
Rev. Father William O'Hare. The
burial will take place on the fam
lily lot in the Catholic Cemetery,
where the fallen hero will be given
a military burial with all the hon
ors due a man who gave his life in
the defense of liberty and freedom
of the world.

BASE BALL PLANS MEET WITH
ENTHUSIASM

At meeting of promoters of the
Blue Grass League, held at the Phoe-
nix Hotel, in Lexington, Friday night
final steps were taken toward perfect
ing the organization. While two of
the towns in the League failed to
send representatives to. the meeting
assurance was given that they would
put teams in the field and would line
up with the leaguers.
1t was announced that Cynthiana
fans had already raised the sum of
$4,000 toward financing the team for
that city. The stock was put on sale
last week in blocks of five shares for
fifty dollars, and no one was permit
ted to buy more than one block. In
Paris the necessary funds have been
secured or pledged for maintenance
of the club, and the same is true in
Lexington. Richmond's merchants
will uniform and finance their club,
1T was announced.
George D. Speakes, of Paris,
sounded one of the subsidiary pur-
poses of the League when he said
'1t will be typical baseball farm.
When one of our players shows real
class on this circuit we will not at
tempt to keep him down, but will
send him to league of higher rat
ing. All the boys of Central Ken
lucky will have an opportunity OF
breaking into the big show through
the Blue Grass League" The Paris
representative announced that they
were already signing up players fol
the coming season and expected to
have at least thirty-fve candidate:
trying out for the team.
Capt. William Neal, secretary
treasurer of the Louisville ball club
will be invited to attend one of the
meetings in the near future and ex
plain the rules of the National Base
Ball Association to the managers
The next conference of the league or
ganizers will be held in the cour
house in Paris 'on Thursday night
Towns interested in placing teams il
the league are requested to send rep
resentatives to the Paris meeting.
In anticipation of the reorganiza
ton of the League, James Daugh
erty, owner of the ball park which
was the home of the old Blue Gras
League team, will begin as soon a
the weather permits, to restore thu
grounds to their former condition
The grandstand will be repaired
bleacher seats erected and tn,
grounds leveled and put in frs
class shape for the season. Every
thing points to a resumption of tn
former interest in baseball in Paris
when this was considered one of tn
best base ball towns in Central Ken
lucky.
