A FEW THOUGHTS ON
LITTLE THEATRE PLAY

With the Little Theatre feeling the
need for its own theatrical home, eff
forts are being made to interest as
many people as possible in the work
of the society.
The real work of the society is not
centered upon one thing. 1t has three
duties-to promote play writing by In
diana people; to increase interest in
attending the theater and by producing
worthwhile plays which the legitimate
stage passes up or fears to present
on the road.
BY presenting popular and light
comedies at the Murat, the Little
Theatre is doing one part Of its pro
gram. Last night the largest audi
ence have ever seen at a Little The
atre presentation attended a perform
ance of why Marry?" by Jesse Lynch
williams
I believe that the society is doing
the right thing in increasing popular
interest in the society This must be
done If the Little Theatre wants to
grow In power. My idea Of the Little
Theatre movement is not a narrow
affair. 1t is not an ultra-smart tea
party. II is a movement which In
