drama as part OF their curricu-
lum. Season after season brought
new talent to light.
"All Of this, would never have
come about had not the Ameri-
can author known how to make
the most of his opportunity. To
me it seems that his success
has been largely due TO his ca
pacity for learning. Ibsen and
Pinero with their simple. direct
methods Of instruction were prob.
ably the first masters of the new
American playwright, but he has
not been too strictly held down
by form; he has wisely developed
his individuality, learned to ex-
press himself.
Fortunately, I think the ma
tive dramatist has g. more nor
NAL point Of view than many of
his foreign brothers. There Is a
sanity and sense Of good taste
here. Even the youngest and
most erratic native writer's seem
to realize that the common life
of which they write Is so full
Of dramatic interest that they do
not need to turn their attention
to themes unwholesome or de-
generate"

the players must appeal to the

For instance, in our picture,
Sally of the Sawdust,' Miss
Dempster has reached very high
standard of true screen appeal.
This young woman is just past
the twenty mark. Yet she has
had five years Of continuous
training. She now has control OF
her abilities with promise Of

Carpenter:
when I first began writing
plays, it was difficult for a young
author to gain access to the Of
flee of a manager. The pro-
ducers then showed little interest
and no faith in the ability Of
native playwrights as a class.
There were, of course, a few no.
table exceptions, but far the
greater number Of plays pre-
sented in this country were i'm
portations in one way or another.
When this vein ran thin the
managers began to experiment

FIJLL-STRENGTH
BAND

Sousa and his band OF eighty
eight pieces-the largest In the
worid-will be heard in two con-
certs, afternoon and night, at the
washington Auditorium, Wednes-
day, October Z, This VIII be the
first time that the entire band
has appeared in concert here. On:
other occasions It was impossible
to get the complete organization
on any washington platform. The
vast size Of the auditorium not
only makes this possible, but, ow-
ing to the great seating capacity,
gives Sousa an opportunity to cut
his prices. Instead OF the usual

floor will sell this year Tor 81
and $3.50. Seats in the balcony
will be sold for as low as fifty
cents, those. in the front tiers
going for $3.50.
On his thirty third tour OF the
country, the march king is more
popular than ever. Throughout
the Nation, wherever Americans
gather, Sousa and his band APP
peal so strongly to the innate
sense Of native music that his
coming is an event. His tour is
really a triuTnphal procession
across country. In cities as large
as San Francisco 1t is not an I'M
common thing for his visit to
turn everything loose in the spirit
Of holiday. Flags are displayed
from public buildings, homes, and
business offices during his stay in
many places. Here in Washing
