>of yesterday and bask in the sunlight
of today or even trail the rainbow and
peep into the pink dawn of tomor-
row!
After the days toll and the many
fretting cares, we turn toward the
theatre as toward a fairy palace
where a wand would be lifted and
our cares vanish in land that has
allurement.
Most of the plays in the past have
had kitchen setting, and around its
drab center our thoughts are tether-
ed. Now let us move for while into
some other portion of the house or
out of doors maybe-the great open.
One reason for the long continued
production of plays of this sort has
been that a ready market was found.
Dialect or broken English was &C
cepted and welcomed as was poetry
that delineates the popular blues.
Writers are proverbially poor and
naturally seek the paying market; but
each forward step in art as in other
fields, must have its martyrs--those
who are willing to lose something for
the good of all. These young writer's
must brush the dew from the path
that the way may be safe and clear
for the great procession that shall
pass this way tomorrow.
Our life today is so full of rich ma
terial, so pregnant with vital issues,
so astounding, that the young play
wright needs only leisure and the
will to do, provided Of course that ne
is playwright.
At this point it is well to leave ex-
cursions across the color line; rest for
a while until the time ripens for
that. Plays that deal with life with
in the race group will find market,
but those that touch too vitality upon
issues that are as yet raw had best
wait their time. Even this type OF
story, will have its day. but not just
now.
1t would be an excellent idea for
the Young writer who is even now dip
ping his pen in great impatience to
begin. for him to get the plays OF the
writer's who have pioneered this field.
He will find what has been done and
calculate his improvements thereup-
on.
The good old ignorant Negro, the
poor old ignorant Negro, the bad old
ignorant Negro. have served we'll as
themes and shall serve now and then
again, but now it is high time for a
word and a picture of the children OF
these men. Surely thit new genera
ton has some points Of dramatic
interest to be set forth. The world
changes and men change but the
human emotions remain eternally the
same, and life is just as interesting,
Just as exciting and just as pulsing
with emotional moments as in the
long ago.
Young writer's have a new and vir-
gin field wherein they may show their
proves with none to say them nay.
Step into this arena, draw the lance
of your ready pen and write Of life

RAMA in the past has por-
VI trayed the Negro farthest
down. That was good as a
" starter, in fact. it was the on
ly kind of play that would
have been welcomed or even received
by the great universal public. Now,
however, the time is about ripe for
plays of different nature. Stories
that tell of the hopes, dreams, yearn-
ings, heartbreakS and yes, even the
joys and fullfilments of today-the
history of our great middle class,
thould be written.
Present-day youth wants to see life
depicted as he is now living it, he
wants drama that gives him the IA
miliar present with its highlights and
shadows, it's smiles and its tears. He
wants to look about him and forward,
not ever and always, backward.
The fathers and mothers Of today's-
youth would welcome something more
modern in pattern, many Of them
would like to forget some of the trials

ANCIENT ARIZONA
CITY DISCOVERED
Ruins May Be Those of One
of Seven FabIed CiboIa
Communities.

BY the Associated Press.
PHOENIX. Ariz., June 13.-w. j.
Hanna, Federal land inspector, an
nounced yesterday he had discovered
an ancient city in Southwestern Ari-
IONA. believed by the Indians to be
one of the tabled seven cities Of Ci-
bola."
Hanna stumbled upon the ruins
while roaming through a desert near
the Mohawk Mountains so miles south
of Palomas.
The ruins. nearly leveled, are COW
cred by shifting sand dunes over an
area six miles square, he said. Traces
of masonry and hard-beaten thorough
fares appear Grinding stones and
pestles and broken pieces of pottery
are scattered about. A historic
water course is evident and the re-
mains of an elaborate irrigation sys-
tenn criss-croSs it.
Legend says the seven cities of
Cibola" were built of gold. A Span
fish priest, Father Nizi, told of camp
ing on a cliff and watching the in
habitants dine from plates of gold.
Others sought the cities, among them
Coronado, the explorer, but in vain.
Hanna plans to revisit the ruins next
Fall and make excavations.

After eight months Of studying
raucouS roarS and deafening dins,
the experts, who regard noise as
seriously as they do germs. are
moving rapidly TO combat the blus-
tering enemy OF health and eff
cheney and pleasure.
Noise Is an evil which never has
been suffered in silence, but the
suffering daily is becoming less
acute. Blaring loud-SpeakerS in
shops and homes already are being
tuned down. Fewer automobile horns
are footing, and manufacturers are
preparing to offer warning signals
of a 81 pleasant and subdued
sound. Motor cut-outs are being
stilled, whistles and bells made less
blatant. There is less rafting OF
ash and garbage cans. and milkmen
soon may be working with the
stealth Of early-morning burglars.

will bring comparative quiet to sub
