Walters of the Jefferson the ing and the Birmingham-S Southern col lege is furnishing an orchestra. It's go- atre have given the use of their build ing to be big thing and you must make your plans to go with us. You know just how splendid production they made out. of Iiliom, and you'll love Seventeen
 'Seventeen'?S Is that this here play by Booth Tarkington? If it is, I'd walk a mile to see it. I ain't never seen the play. but I've read the book and seen the movie and it's just what I was a trying to say awhile ago that art--not t.e .arty' wind-is so universally real in its reach that it appeals to every Tom, Dick and Harry O us. And that's Seventeen as I remembers the book. Willie Baxter ain'tN universal enough to be a Frenchman, but it's as Amer ican as prohibition and Krazy Kat. This Harrington man is just plain hu- man and he's got an inquisitive eye that sticks in his memory people he sees every day about him, and he goes home and sits down and cooks up a play or book like that that ain't all folderol sex, nor blood and thunder, nor problematical, nor worrying. All that stuff has got its proper place, of coure, but Willie Baxter gets into your old heart. He's so old and so young and his life brings such appall- ing tragedies to him that are so big he nearly busts and yet you nearly bust laughing at him because after all some body else's tragedies are, funny to you's
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-04-13

long as you don't have to put up with them yourself, and because Willie's is so really out O proportion to grown up troubles. But then, mebbe, in the middle O laugh, you think that the urge to have a dress suit is sort O foolish thing, and Willie ought to be spanked for it, and there's too much trouble in the world already for Willie to come along and add his; and then suddenly you sees yourself and remem- bers how at seventeen you tried to kiss your first girl and what a darned ty. rant you thot your pa was because he wouldn't give you quarter to buy her a box O peppermints-wel you just quit laughing and you sees all the real tragedy. That's tragi-comedy, and to me, young folks, there ain't noihihu quite so wonderful as when man sue ceeds in putting it across. Why, l be- gan to think that that little baby tall2 ing Pratt creature and her dog Floppit ought to be drowned together because she had sort O stood Willie up and | got to feeling that if Pa Baxter didnae buy Willie dress suit why wouiA and slip it to him.
 "Whoa, I'm running away with my tongue again. Still, when I likes q thing I'm all for it, and when some body comes along and put it in front O my eyes and does it for the love O doing a good thing well, then I'm for them heart and tongue"
 "We'll count on you, then, captain"

PETRACH'S LAURA

It was on April 5, 1S4S, that Laura de Moves, the heroine of Petrach's amatory poetry, died in Avignon. Laura de Moves was a real flesh and blood woman, although idealized by the bard into an angelic creature, fit only to live among the stars. She was not yet 20 and Petrach 9 when they first met.
 Laura was a married woman, but that did not prevent the poet from bestowing upon her a devotion that continued to her death, and she was the theme of the sonnets which made the poets name immortal.
 Although her fame was thus spread all over Italy, it did not add to her happiness, for her husband, naturally of jealous disposition, was enraged by the nOtoriety given to his wife by the poet, although she remained faith ful to her marriage vows and bore him 10 children.
 The constant persecution and bru- tality of her jealous husband ended only with her death, which was due to the plague. Her spouse remarried with in seven months.
 ''The most chaste and beautiful lady" wrote Petrach, twas buried on the day of her death. Her soul returned, I feel assured, to heaven.

Little Theatre and Seventeen As
 SeenOutside

The door opened and gust of spring rain blew in our old sea captain friend. Behind his piratical moustachois his blue eyes sparkled and in his arms was what appeared to be young tree.
 "Ahoy, young folks, and I'm sure glad to see you again. Here's a little tree for you, nam; I thot you'd like it." and he uncovered dwarfed and wizened little Japanese cedar, an abso- lutely perfect thing.
 During post-prandial discussion of a recent play in New York, the conver- sation centered around the discussed point as to whether the depletion of the seamy side of life could be called art.
 "Arrrttty' snorted the captain. "Art, me eye. I'm getting sort O sick O that word l. {. :. it's so misused and used so often that it's sort O. tiresome. But, then, there ain't no other word that you can use, after all. Now, you take that little tree there. It ain't O no special value as fruit producer, nor a shade producer, but ain't it just the purtiest little thing you ever saw, and don't it just do you good to look at it? It sure is sort O like that other Japanese thing I saw in Steiner Brothers bank the other day : that bronze eagle. That there thing is sure art, because it's real craftmanship. .Ain't no other word for 1t but art. It looks down to folks who after their daily grind want an outlet for something, mebbe finer than money grubbing and who love beautiful thing just for its own sake and not alone for its useful value. Take another field, the play. Didn't that man Molnar make stirring, thing in 'LiIliom' 1? You sees farces and mystery shows and movies and they's fine for the time be- ing. Take the other, and you can't help convincing yourself that it was cooked up because the man felt it all in his insides and that he had to get 1t out or bust. He had that urge to create: drive to make something that was beautifully true, and not to fill big theatre only. You take the first kind O things and spend a lots O time and money on making them beautiful and pretty and all that, and they's wonderful and what I calls 'arty.' But you forget them day after
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-04-13

tomorrow, mebbe. Take the other and spend lot O time in making the actors fit exactly the parts and then you have something that makes you gulp and makes quirky feelings up your spine, and you sits on the edge O your seat, and you go home and you don't forget it and you see yourself in it and you wonder what you would have done in the same circumstances, and you say there's somebody in 1t that's like a man I know and in the end you say that author and that producer have achieved art, and there's that word again.
 Take these here Little theatres They ain't out after no, box office re- suits because the only ax they's grind ing is the putting a. part O themselves into something they know is real. Why anybody who feels like they'd like to create something besides bread and meat can butt in and do it. They can act or build scenery or use their heads or dozen or so things and their eff forts build up something that in the end will be part O themselves. Near ly everybody in the world, after all, has got a bit O. urge to do something that they thinks is artistic-tlrat that word
 
 that means, sorter, that after all art is the inside drive and the results O it to get out and take every day bits O life and string 'em together and finally achieve something that is beautiful or beautifully true '. take piece O my life, and Toms and Dicks mad Harry's and fit lem all together and you get one os those gorgeous mosiacs that each one O us recognizes and sees his own part and that the whole effect takes us all in and is an appeal to everybody"
 The captain got all this out at once, together with big billowing cloud of pungent tobacco smoke. Excuse me, mann, didn't mean ot be a drowning you and smothering you at the same time"
 Fine, captain, just the thing we need. We'll use you as an advertise ment for the Little Theatre here. That organization is trying to sponsor just such efforts to provoke and foster urges for the beautiful and the true, and they are trying make the Birmingham people see that they have a chance to create something out of themselves into your own word art They are trying to make bigger thing, and are now trying to get means to have a Little Theatre and an art gallery housed in their own building. That's field in this town that has never been touched. On the afternoon of April 25 they are going to give another production of Seventeen, and this time it's open to

Magic Mirror To Be Given By
 School Children

The pupils of the South Highland school who have been cast for the lead ing parts in "The Magic Mirror" are working hard to make this years play as enjoyable as any ever given by the school. In fact, everything seems to promise more successful and wonder full production than ever before. The play selected by the Dramatic club this year is one which will enable the club to use the greater part of it's dramatic talent in the speaking parts, and the talented dancers in the school have a lovely vehicle for their ability in the many artistic dances planned for them.
 Mrs. J. $. Smolian has very kindly consented to coach the speaking parts. Mir. Bernard Szold, director of the Lit tie theatre, has been very generous with his time and suggestions for the success of the play. He has drawn the sketches for the scenery and planned the costumes for the speaking parts.
 Mrs. Lee Roueche, president of the Parent-Teacher association, and Mir. T. c. Young, principal of the school, are the general directors of the entire pro- duction, and the players feel that with these kind friends back of them they must Succeeu.
 The leading actors have been chosen with great care.. Many of them are all ready known to Birmingham as talent ed children, and the new players will be received with equal affection. John Casey as the King of Sylvana, has part worthy of his ability.
 Evelyn Greenhalgh is the wicked Queen of Sylvana, and is exceptionally good in this exacting part.
 Helen Brewer is doing splendid work in the role of the naughty Princess Hill degarde, who looks into the Magic Mir TOT and sees only a vision of her own beauty.
 Wena Hambaugh is very lovable as the Princess Rosamond. She is the favorite in the court, and when she looks into the Magic Mirror, strange and wondrous things appear.
 Richard Lackmond, as the Prince of Goldhalls, and Glenn Marshall, as the Prince of Silverlands, are noble pair, as they journey together to Sylvana.
 Philo, the court jester, is played by Joe Morriss. This is going to besone of the most enjoyable parts of the play.
 Eugene Moore is the Prince of Ring ingmere, and E. NJ. Friens is the pi- rate chief. These characters are sup ported by number of minor ones, and each player is striving to make every part perfect one.

Of being "mean," he is just trying to
safeguard you Find out the objec-
tions. Listen to them calmly. If
you honestly feel that your father
is mistaken, try to get him to give
the young man a fair chance, at
least.
vAMPIN' SAL: Don't, don't mar
ry a jealous man. Either use dras-
tic measures and cure him Of his
jealousy. Or break the engagement.
You say none of your people cares
for your fance. Why? Although
you are the one that must live with
him, other peoples opinion is signif-
cant. The fact that they do not ike
him may indicate points of his char
acter which would cause you unhap-
piness. It would not be pleasant,
anyway, to have husband your
family disliked.
I do not tell you to break the en-
gagement, because I do not know
how you feel. You. do not speak OF
loving your fiance. 1 do tell you to
think it over seriously and calmly
and not to feel "honor-bound" to
marry a man you have found you
could not be happy with.

What's going to happen to Cha les,
aged II, and his Ma'g'ret, 16, whose
stern parents positively forbid them
even to see each other until they
have grown up? What chance do
they have to defy parental edicts
and elope, under this new law?
Or how can handsome John and
pretty Ma'tha slip off and be married
quietly, while Johns f1ancee won
ders, when all the world can know,
five days before they receive their
license, what they are planning?
What chance does romance have
in State like that? What chance,
indeed?
The legislators who passed the
law, and mothers and fathers Of un-
ruly' sons and daughters, know.
They know that the romance that
turks in elopements and hurried
marriages has no chance. But they
know, too, that such "backdoor"
romance often fades quickly, while
the romance that is calm, unhurried
that does not object to the five
days notice-goes on and on.
