RENTING THE DRAMA

Performances of three one-act plays on two successive evenings given by the newly formed Drama League of this city appear to have not only given general satisfa ction, but were many times superior to what even the most optimistic eN- pected. The League is fortunate in having talent far above the amateur average at it's disposal. These gave of their time and effort to make the productions high grade and succeed ed in bounteous manner.
 The League has started so sue cessfully that it is reasonable to hope it will continue to provide such outstanding events in the cultural life of the city. On two nights 1t drew full houses to Camp hall. More plays Of such merit and given with such artistry and the League will need to look for larger quarters.
 William c. French, prime mover in the cause of good drama in this city, is to be congratulated. We know very well that it was he who got this thing going after several vain ef- forts to link up local drama with other activities with which 1t would not hitch. At last he and others oi the faith solved the puzzle by form. ing an independent Drama League and to the astonishment of those who didn't think it could be done il has been accomplished with amazing , success.
 l We look for q long life to the Drama League. Long may it wave!

wNSANE" MODERN ART

It doesn't require exceptional perspicacity to agree with Professor Walter Scott Perry, Of Brooklyn. \. Y., who spoke on art at the Woman's Club of this city Profess sor Perry was quoted as saying mod ern art is absolutely insane" and for this We commend him as one who not only has convictions but has the courage to announce them in unmistakable lingo.
 True, as the distinguished visitor stated, there is a constant need for originality; but We would rather see modern art rehash, revamp. rear range, and reco- ordinate old stuff than 10 throw splotch Of valuable paint on by no means cheap canvas and call the result "a new and original note" in this thing called art
 Fortunately for the future oe art the generality Of onlookers are re- pelled from the shoddy and poverty stricken ultra modernism solely by instinct. 4 person with good eyes and a clear mind does not need to be educated as 10 what constitutes beauty in art and what happens to ie sensationalsIn.
 The Woman's Club brings dis tiAsllished authorities to the city.
