raise S350.000 for a three years campaign. An at
tendance Of 1000 or 1900 persons at a meeting pre-
liminary TO the opening Of the campaign is testimony
to the lively interest that is being taken in the enter

reservations for theater parties. frequently at reduced

association hopes 10 demonstrate 70 producers and
authors that there is a better market for the worth

The proposal or church people TO help improve
the theater by patronizing il will remind those who
we're young not SO long ago Of when going to the
theater at all was at least Of highly questionable pro-
priety; when the typical theater in most towns and
small cities was named "opeFa house" in recognition
Of the prevailing sentiment, and when "Uncie Toms
Cabin" The Old Homestead" and "Ten Nights in a
BARRON" were about the only current plays that were
held 20 be virtually above reproach. But the Rev. DR.
s. Parkes Cadman. who is president OF the Church
and Drama Association, reminded the meeting that the
theater was born Of the church in the Middle Ages,
and characterized the present movement as one for
the church to recognize its ~lOng-lost child"
The task Of those who are to guide the associa-

Albert Payson Terhune is one Of the most inter

to meet. ! spent the day recently ut Sunnybank, the
Terhune country estate. near Pompton Lakes, New
Jersey.
There are many fine things at sunnybank. IdyIlic
scenery, ancient trees, a beautiful lake, handsome
collie dogs-and hospitality.
The Terhunes live in a house that was built by
the present Terhune's father. seventy years ago. The
estate has the atmosphere Of an ancestral establish
ment. The charming house is partly covered by wis
taria vines, which also grow luxuriantly in the neigh
boring forest.

INHERITED HOSPITALITY

But / know many people who could live all their
lives in the expansive setting Of S~unnybank without
acquiring the Terhune responsiveness. The quality Of
genuine hospitality, / believe, is inherited. But ! be-
lieye, too, that it is one Of the easiest Of inherited
qualities to kill. Many Americans in the cities have
inherited a tradition Of hospitality from admirable
ancestors. but have found it economical and convent
ent to smother the tradition.
The Terhunes are hoSpitable in the manner Of the
old English families that Washington Irving tells
about. Albert Payson Terhune is an American coun-
try gentleman.
Mr.. Terhune is six feet three inches in height,
and weighs, just now, two hundred and sixteen pounds,
which is his very low weight. Sometimes he weighs
more than two hundred and sixty, and ! am sure he
would not appear fat at that. He wears a picturesque
costume Of Khaki, with puttees and leather coat or
vest, about the estate. He has the voice Of a giant,
and he talks rapidly and entertainingly.
TELLING A DOG STORY
The writings Of Mr.. Terhune are read by nearly
all Americans. I believe ne can tell a better dog
story than any other American. | am not more than
ordinarily fond Of dogs, but / can grow enthusiastic
about them when reading Terhune. But Terhune is
versatile. His writing knowledge is not confined 70
dogs, By any means.
1t Is encouraging TO meet people like the Ter
hunes. You feel better for weeks after discovering
such folk.
