URGES WOMEN'S CLUB AS
SUPPORT TO REAL DRAMA

would mean enormous support for a
great many more than four plays
with such large membership,
this support could be divided among
any number of plays and might al
most revolutionize the theater
For example. in the case of a
play like John Galsworthy's The
Snow which has little immediate
chance of production in America
our organization could go to any
manager and say We guarantee you
"a seasons profitable business and a
profitable tour. if you will produce
The Snow"
In the playwright's opinion there
is mo limit to the plan; the or
ganization could go into production
|or back production of a kind al
most unknown in our theater.' The
Little Theater movement, he believes
could be organized, in smaller way
along the same lines.
Mind you" he said, I'm not in
sisting that the theater shall be rur
for innocent children; merely thai
1t shall be run for intelligent grown
ups. Where you have good taste
good purpose, good art, there cal
be no question of morals.
Great art so envelops and oh
, scures everything else that, wher
there is great art, what we call MOI
| ais are noticed only by prigs an,
psychopathic prudes. Strictly speak
ing, there are no such things a
clean plays and dirty plays F. e.
there are only good plays and ba
plays, and no good play can b
dirty and no dirty play can be good.

NEW YORK, May 13. = Organiza
tion of national womens club
for practical support of good plays
is proposed in letter to the Fed
GRAFTON of Women's Clubs by Chan
ming Pollock, the playwright, who is
urging real drama" in the Amer
lean theater
Under his plan the club would ac
eral plays annually, each of which
would be carried by the origina
companies to the supporting cities
"The idea in question is that every
woman's club in America should
stand back of an organization which
would be the child of the Federation
of Women's Clubs" Mr.. Pollock said
every member would pay dues o.
$40 "a year and in return would re
ceive four tickets a year to the
theater.
"Of each $40, 81 would go fol
overhead expenses of the organiza
tion and the other SO for the tickets
The plays would be selected by {
committee of clean minded intelli
gent persons They would be picked
for their qualities as entertainment
and not for sterile and academi,
dullness which is the ideal of mos
self appointed arbiters and has don'
so much harm in the theater.
"One hundred and fifty thousant
members all over America woult

fine plays, II they did not do on,

BID OF NEW YORK NIGHT

TRIPLES Pay, OLD DAYS

NEW YORK, May -. There is
a saying along the Rialto that the
best way to become night club

Broadway likes nothing better

field often more lucrative than the
stage is opened in bids made by
supper club proprietors. The same
opportunity exists for artists whose
names have long been established in
the electric signs.

$50 to $3.50 a week but in the days

It's a silly question. We know
what you would do. Here goes

hand is none other than our we'll
known Uncle Sam. He is en-
deavoring to put his hand into the

so rich that he is voluntarily re.
ducing his annual revenue by over
$500, 900, 900 is endeavoring to
fitch $106, 900 out of the purse OF
an Indian tribe with an annual
income of less than $500 per fam
lily.
The excuse for the attempted
larceny is the building of a bridge
across the Colorado river in q re-
mote corner of the Navajo reser
walton. Utah and Arizona are
each putting up $4,000. The
federal government agreed to pay
the other half of the cost, but un

charged against the tribal fund OF
the Navsjos, which contain jus,

Utah and Arizona want the
bridge; the Navajos don't. Utah
and Arizona want motor turists to
move through these isolated, un
known parts OF their territory

one spanning the Colorado for a
distance of 700 miles. Utah and
Arizona will profit by the con,

One.third of the Navajo popula-
ton has trachoms, the infectious
eye disease leading eventually to
blindness. tuberculosis is in
creasing among them. Four
thousand of Navajo children are
not in schools. They need many
wells to open up the forage of
waterless spots for their crowding
focks of sheep. They sorely need
many things-but they don't need
bridge across the Colorado
river.
By a vote of 43 to 20 the Senate
last month confirmed the joint re
port of the Senate and House
Conference Committee in the pro-
vision of the deficiency bill which
provides for the construction of
two bridges in the Navajo Indian
reservation in New Mexico and
Arizona with a cost to the Indians
of 100000.
The vote defeated effores of the
opposition led by Sam G., Bratton
(D), Senator from New Mexico,
and Ralph H. Cameron (R }, Sen
ator from Arizona to save the In.
dams from the expense of the
bridge. E..- .. .
The present act provides that
that the Indians must pay half the
cost of the $4,000 project, and
the Government the other half.
In urging rejection of the meas
ure it was pointed out that the
Navajo Indians are now in debt
$500, 900 and that they now have
only Sis, 900 in their treasury. so
that the present assessment will
put the tribe into virtual bank
ruptcy. Mr.. Cameron and Mr..
