THE THEATRE
Bv DR.. Frank Crane

"Conceived in Godhead, born beside the
affairs slain in the brothel and born again IN
the soul of man, endlessly repeating IN It's
own person the story of it's immortal and re-
iuvenate god, Dionysus. the theater has llved
the whole history of Europe. No word has
spanned such range of time and forms and
morals. No art has so changed and so re-
NAMED the same"
This is a sentence from Kenneth MacGow-
ans recent volume ''The Theater OF Tomor-
row.
It is an interesting book, written by one
who not only knows the theater as 1T is, and
the theater as it was from the beginning, but
has also a rather definite notion of what
the theater will be the future.
He tells us that the history of the theater
begins beside Dionysiac affairs more than
twenty-five centuries ago as religious
ritual.
1t began in the open air.
1t began as a crude form Of that instinct
which impels man to believe that he is more
than passing brute and that e is In some
way a child of destiny.
1t began with neither audience nor actors,
only villagers, partaking in mystic ceremon-
les, praying with their bodies to the high
gods for the desire of the SOUL
The theater, which is now frowned upon
by some circles of religion, was once the
heart of religion, as in Athens where forty
thousand citizen spectators were damned
into a bowl on the hillside the Acropolis
to watch the dancers and hear the actors
tell them over and over the stories Of their
heroes and their gods
The drama was reborn in the middle ages
and here also it's place was first before the
high altar in the church.
The miracle plays became too popular and
had to be taken out of the church and set up
in the open where there was room for all
to see.
Gradually the drama was altered with time,
and through a long evolution has reached
the condition in which it is found today.
1t is even now in further stage of devel-
opment by means Of the moving picture
play.
1t has always been my conviction that
while the theater cannot be successfully
made a platform for propaganda, for the
simple reason that all art is debased when 1t
finds any other end and excuse except the
joy Of self-expression, at the same time there
is no single instrument so powerful as the
drama a means of cultural development.
And this means not only diversion but the
satisfaction Of the profoundest needs of the
intellectual and emotional life.
Morals are not made nor advanced par
ticularly by didactic teaching. They are the
result of suggestion and of inspiration.
The theater of the future will become re-
ligious when people have learnt that religion
is not side issue Of life, but is the very es-
sence of life itself and carries with it the
secret Of lifes profoundest and most subtle
satisfactions

BROADEN OUT
By H. Addington Bruce

THOR many years have known a man who
II typifies large class of professional, COM
mercial, and industrial workers. | never
meet him without experiencing feelings Of pity
and regret.
When made his acquaintance he was holding
subordinate position in business house. He
holds the same position today
He will probably hold it until his working
days are done. For he is a conscientious and
efficient worker. Also, and this is the tragedy
of it, he is a worker capable OF much bigger
things if he would but make an effort to de-
velop himself, to broaden out.
He lives in sad routine
Daily he reaches his office at the hour ap-
pointed for the beginning of work. Daily he
plods methodically through the tasks assigned
to him.
When the day is done he wanders uptown, to
read the evening papers in club 70 which he
belongs. Then he dimes in the club. After
which he plays a game of billiards or pool, or
perhaps goes to the theater. This completes the
routine of his waking hours.
Talk with him and you find him pathetically
barren of ideas Scan his features and you find
in them the strained expression Of man who
appreciates that he is missing something but
does not know exactly what.
His is not the face of a contented man.
Nor can contentment come to any man who
leads vegeta+ive and narrow existence. BY so
doing he is cheating and depressing the in
stinct to grow, to achieve, which every normal
human being brings with him into this world.
Aids to such growth are all about us. They
are to be had in good books, good art, good
music, the contemplation of the beauties and
wonders of nature, attendance at stimulating
lectures, discussion of and reflection OF prob
lens of everyday life.
Those who, day in and day out, ignore such
aids cannot possibly make anything like full use
of the power that is in them. They remain un-
developed, immature all their days And if cir
cumstances, nevertheless, permit them to prog
ress in financial way, they still find life sing
ulary unSatSfying.
The rule is moreover, that, like my &C
quaintance of disconnected mein, they occupy
inferior places, no matter how long they live.
For, because they never read and study ana
think, because they forever neglect 20 make
contacts that would fertilize their minds, they
remain perpetualy barren of ideas.
And the big rewards of business life usually
90 to the idea gamers and idea-developers. To
the time killers, the slaves of routine, the
workers who refuse to cultivate their minds and
broaden out as all men may, hence who remain
comparatively non-creative, go only the crumbs
of comparatively small pay.
AS will be the rule to the last of time. TO
achieve, to accomplish, to advance, broadening
out is wel-nigh indispensable.

were amazed by the immensely Of the prof.
ect, which their Imagination had but feebly
pictured, although for months they had
been studying it through blue prints and
engineering reports-so will the public be
astounded by results if this giant industrial
development gets fairly under way. The
South, as an agricultural region, is particu-
larly interested in the prospect of nitrates
for plant food being produced cheaply and
in great quantities. Imports of that mineral
bear heavy tax, levied at the source of
foreign shipment and paid by the American
consumer Cotton farmers alone thus render
tribute of tens or hundreds of thousands
of dollars a year, which should be eliminated
If nitrate is manufactured in their own ter
ritory. Moreover, decreasing the cost Of crop
production and increasing the acreage yield
will rebound to the veal, not Of farmers
alone, but of the people as a whole and will
make for wide prosperity.
Still more important will be the indus<
trial results from the abundance of hydro
electric power which Muscle Shoals develop
ment will make available. Hence will come
the richest contributions to the life of the
South and of the common country-employ-
ment for multitudes, the utilizing of raw ma
terialS of little profit, the manifold
creation of new values, of wealth, of oppor-
tunity, of progress. Scientists who have look
ed into the matter believe that not even
the most ardent advocates Of the develop
ment project as yet conceive all that it be-
tides.
Why is the Ford proposal rather than
others so widely popular? Simply because
the people believe that it's acceptance will
assure such results as have been indicated;
while, merited or not, shadow of doubt if
not distrust attends certain others The Ford
offer, first in the field, was made, unques-
tionably, with constructive action in view;
but there is suspicion that some later ones
were prompted rather by desire to OBJ
struct. Had his not augured large achieve
ments, would theirs, ever have been forth
coming? Had he not gone to the Govern
ment with definite plan and bid, would
there now be any likelihood of the abandoned
plants being taken over and carried for
ward to productive completion by private
capital? Were there better offer than Mr..
Ford's-better, that is, for the country and
in point of probable fulfillment-then by all
means it should be given preference. But
there can be no patience with tactics in

T GET great many letters from women.
who are sitting on the anxious bench of
- the late thirtieS and early fortieS, asking
my opinion as to the adviSability Of securing
husband by answering the advertisements in
some matrimonial paper of a man who says
that he is handsome, wealthy and has kind
disposition, but is lonely, and desires con-
genial mate.
l never know whether to laugh or cry over
these letters. 1t is so ridiculous to think that
anyone is credulous enough and unSophiSti-
Gated enough, not to realize that any man
who is fit to marry, does not have to waste
any money advertising for wife. There
are too many he could get for the asking.
And it is so ptiful to think that any woman
so longs for husband and home of her own,
that she is willing to shut her eyes, and grab
one in the dark.
Heaven knows woman takes enough risks
when she marreS a man whose antecedantS
she knows, and whose peculartieS of charac-
ter and indisposition she has studied This
being the case, we can only marvel at the
foolhardineSS of one who takes for better or
worse, gentleman she never saw before she
met him at the altar, and whom she recognizes
by his wearing a red carnation in his button
hole as the Romeo of the Matrimonial Gazette.
Of course, all such marriages almost in
variaby turn out disaStrously for the woman.
She hasn't even sporting chance at happiness
in such a union, YET women who are old
enough, and Intelligent enough to know better
seriously consider advertising for husband,
when they can get one no other way.
Nowhere else is society unjust and
illogical than in its attitude towards the huS-
band hunter Nature made matrimony woman'S
foreordained business in life, and all the teach
ingS of all the centuries have impressed Oh
the feminine mind that a woman finds her
greatest career, her truest happiness, and her
sweetest reward in the holy estate. The very
toys that are given to girl babies, the dolls,
the miniature tables, and dishes, and chairs,
are intended TO turn their youthful fancies
towards the babies and real furniture they are
taught to look forward to having some day in
homes of their own.
Having thus made marriage the aim and am
bition of womanS life, we not only forbid
her to 60 and &c: the thing she wants, but
we are shocked and Mortified when she even
admits that she desires it. We think it nat
ura and even commendable, when middle
aged man says that he is lonesome, and tired
of living in hotels and clubs, and that he
wants to marry and set up home of his
own, and that he is looking around for
suitable wife. But la, la, when a middle-aged
woman says that she is lonely and tired of
being by herself and that she would like to
have some man to cook for, and fuss over,
we mock and ridicule her!
All that the woman who wants to marry
can do is to sit around and look willing, which
in many cases doesn't get her anywhere, for

Action on Muscle Shoals
~ HAT Muscle Shoals must and will be de


veloped is the conclusion Of the
House and Senate delegations who
have studied the vast project at first
hand. cit is next to the Panama canal
in magnitude" says Representative Hull;
''to let it go unfinished is unthink-
able" And in like vein Senator Norris: 81
think the committees will get together and
declare for completion; it would be wrong
against the country to let the great enter
prise go undeveloped."
These expressions are highly welcome to
the American public, whose intuitive sense
of practical values prompted it from the
outset to favor carrying forward the suspend
ed plans at Muscle Shoals, and more recently
to urge that Henry Ford's offer to that end
be accepted. The Government having spent
millions of the nations money on the con-
struction of nitrate plant, which was aban-
doned half-fnished when the war unexpected
ly ended, cannot in reason or justice suffer
the investment to become total loss if there
be means of turning it to profitable account
GAch means are opened through Mr.. Ford's
proposition, and the country is entitled to
due action thereon.

Why Not Recognize Mex;co9


A LONG expectant public this side
~ of the Rio Grande hopes that the lat
est report of Washington's having de-
cided to recognize the Mexican government
will come true. Months ago the impression
prevailed that President Obregon had earn
ed this token of confidence and that the in
terests of both nations required it-an i'm
preston which the interim has but served
to deepen.
He has been, in fact, the head of Mexi-
can affairs since September, 1920, and dur
ing that year and half has succeeded far
beyond what was commonly expected in re-
storing order and in making straight the
ways for prosperity. Border banditry, once so
grave a problem, has been curbed; inSurrec-
tions, once frequent and formidable, have
vanished from the news; domestic trade has
resumed in substantial measure, while for
eign commerce has grown apace; both agri-
culture and mining are freely productive
again; schools are increasing in number and
influence; laws are upheld and rights re-
spected as they have not been for years
gone. All this is so obviously good for Mex
ico's neighbors and for the world at large,
as we'll as for her own people, that by every
manner of means it ought to be encouraged.
The greatest of all encouragements would
be recognition from the United States. When
Washington acts, the chancellories of Eu
rope probably will follow World indorse-
ment of the Obregon endeavor to govern
Alright waits upon our leading SIGNATURE
The Withholding of American recognition
thus deprives his administration of moral
support that might well prove the decisive
factor in case he were confronted with re-
volt. And certainly there is no jealous fac
tion at whose hands Americans are likely to-
receive as much consideration as at his.
The one reason for delay, as far as the
public is informed, has hinged on a ques-
ton of diplomatic procedure. Shall the Mex
lean government be recognized first and it's
treaty with the United States be signed
afterwards, or shall the treaty precede rec
ignition? If our nation were so little and so
young that insistence upon matters of form
were needful to establish it's dignity and
power, then we might well sickle for the
treaty first. But cannot the "Giant of the
West" afford to let the Mexican president
have his wish this time, especially since he
considers it essential to his country's peace
of mind? Magnanimous America must be-
if she is to be herself.

men are purblind creatures who are very apt
to overlook the best matrimonial bets. When
woman is young, and pretty, and striking
looking, she may catch some rowing masculine
matter Of luck, for no human being knows
what quality it is that makes a man take to
some particular woman. Even holy writ sets
down the way of man with a maid as one
of the unSolvable mysteries of existence.
Now one of the things that every woman
knows is that if women were permitted by
custom to do their husband hunting openly, in
stead of by stealth, there would be not only
great many more marriages, but happier ones.
For women are wiser in matters of the heart
than men are, and many woman knows that
she would make exactly the sort of wife that
certain man needs, and that he and she would
be perfectly happy together, if he only had
sense enough 20 marry her.
But he hasn't. He never notices her. He
never gets really acquainted with her. She
just passes, as one in crowd, across his
horizon, and our idiotic conventions do not
permit her to go up to him and say, "You
poor Simp, don't you see Pm just the wife you
need? Come with me to the parSon, and We
will live happily ever AFTER
Why, when we say that propinquity is a
great match maker, we merely mean that
circumstances have given some woman her
chance to put herself on the map for some
particular man. The reason that so many
widowers marry their first wife'S relative or her
best friend is because the woman sold them
selves to Them as the commercial. phrase goes,
and they knew just how charming and lovely
The ladies WERE
1t will take at least two generations more
before women achieve the woman'S greatest
right-a right which is of far more importance
to them than the right to vote, and that is
the privilege of popping the question. In the
meantime, they must still do their husband
hunting on the sly, and so to the middle-aged
women who want to marry, l would give this
piece of advice:
Remember that with men, familiarity breeds
indifference. The men in any community can
look at woman until she becomes as famil-
lar as lamp post, and creates no more thrill
or interest, in their bosomS. Therefore, re-
move yourself hence. Get you some good
clothes, and seek some place where you will
be novelty, and, therefore, interesting. If
you can once, arrest mans attention, the
balance is up to you.
There is no use in beating around the same
old bush, year after year, where every bird
knows your tactics. Seek freSher fields, and
greener pastures 49,
And good hunting to you.

The Last of Lodqe9
r. ACTIONAL war in the Republican party
in Massachusetts has beclouded the

r in Massachusetts has beclouded the
political prospects of Senator Lodge.
That he will be a candidate to succeed him
self is foregone, but can he be reelected?
There appear to be many within his
party's ranks who think that for the good of
commonwealth and country he ought to be
retired; and assuredly, none free from parti-
san bias could wish him to tarry.
A trenchantly true, if frankly Democratic,
judgment is given by the New York World
when it asks and answers the question:
What has Mr.. Lodge done during his thirty
years in the Senate to entitle him to a sew
enth term? With what constructive measure
of government is his name identified? What
contribution has he ever made to the welfare
of his country" Former President Eliot, of
Harvard, is said to have remarked that while
he had known Cabot Lodge all his life he had
never known him to have a generous emo
tion.' Grave as that defect is, it might be
condoned had Mr.. Lodge shown forth any
compensating virtues of character or intel
lect. But of what use has he been, save as a
warning that brain without heart and culture
without soul are menace to men-in' truth
degradation? The World states the record
Alright when it says:
''Mr. Lodge has always belonged to
the destructive school of politics. He
has never created anything himself, but
has been an eager destroyer of other
mems work. Posing as a scholar in poll
tics he has advanced nothing, improved
nothing, perfected nothing. Such bene-
fits as Massachusetts may have reaped
from Mr.. Lodges long term of service
have accrued mainly to small group of
politicians and capitalists who have kept
him in Washington because he was use
| full to them. Massachusetts has honored
! Mr.. Lodge greatly, but Mr.. Lodge has
never honored Massachusetts, in the Sen
ate and today there are few Senators
who are held in smaller personal esteem
by their colleagues
Such influence as he has attained is chiefly
ascrible to seniority, and such reputation
| as he bears away will have more of the no.
| torious than of honest fame. The wrecker of
