TODAY AND
BY
FRANK PARKER STOcKBRDGE

The project of the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration
for giving employment to actors by
arranging for dozens of travelling
theatrical companies which will
present good plays free of charge
for the entertainment of everybody,
seems to me like a highly COM
mendable idea. A good many of
travelling companies will tour
in automobiles, carrying stage,
scenery and equipment on trucks,
and giving their performances out
iof doors in good weathers.
To millions of Americans it will
|come as a novelty to see real actor:
on 1ae stage. The best that the
movies can do has not the appea
of seeing the performers in thu
flesh.
1t will be a good thing for thu
nation if this movement revives in.
terest ION the road" in the spoken
drama.
O sure-fire hit
The first of these outdoors per-
|formances to be ready for the road
is the play which has been given
oftener than any other drama ever
written in any language-"Uncle
Toms Cabin" 1t had its first per-
|formances under Governement aus
|pices on the upper East Side Of
New York a few days ago.
Uncle Toms Cabin has been
|played by so many different COM
|panies, tent shows, wages shows:
boat shows and railroad shows, that
"Tommers" are a distinct class in
the world of the theater. I looked
into the subject some years age
and found then more than $50 diff
|ferent companies presenting this an
Gent play in different parts of the
country at n time. 1t is almost
actor-proof; the story and sent
iment sweep the audience nj matter
how badly it is played.
The grandson of Harriet Beecher
lStowe, from whose anti-slavery
book the play was taken, is one Of
my country neighbors. He tells me
that his grandmother, who had 8
Puritanical prejudice against the
theater, never authorized the book:

from the many presentations of the
play.
PLEASURE 80. was sinful
The prejudice against the theatel
which was emphasized by many Of
the church denominations in Amer
lean and England for more thar
two hundred years was only partly
due to the indecencies of the early
theater. The Puritans regarded ii
as immoral to indulge in any amuse-
ment purely for pleasure. Al
Macaulay wrote of England,s pro-
hibition against public fights be-
tween bears and bulldogs in the 18th
century, Cromwell and his followers
stopped it net because it gave pain
to the heart but because it gave
pleasure to the spectators.
After the overthrow of the Puri-
tan regime in England. and the res

tHeaIcI was the anCS-IOOm OF T1ell.
Something of the same sort of
reaction against the movies is now
beginning in religious circles, with
even the more liberal denominations
taking part in it. This time it is
not prejudice against the CONNER
cial exploitation of false and sub
versive ideas to the young. 1t should
not be difficult for the movies to
"clean up" once their promoters
get rid of the idea that people won't

REVIVAL 49,. Old Homestead
Up in my home county of Berk-
shire, Massachusetts,, we have a little
theater, the Berkshire Playhouse, in
which every Summer there is an
eight-weeks season of plays, pre-
sented by first-rate actors, many of
them Broadway stars. People drive
from forty miles away to attend the
performances. But the best show
we have had several seasons was an
amateur performance of an old
|favorite, 1.-THE Old Homestead"
Young men and women from
half a dozen neighboring villages
spent their spare time all Spring re-
hearsing this play, which hadn't
been given in a regular theaeer and
star, died more than forty years ago.
They not only put on a frst-rate
performance, but they demonstrat-
ed that people will still flock to see
a Clean play.
Sophisticated 'modern3 critics
sheer at such homely dramatic fare
as The Old Homestead and Uncle
Toms Cabin, but the young folks
of today get as much pleasure out
of them as their grandparents did.
RELIGION tolerant today
The religious prejudice against
the reasonable pursuit. of pleasure
Mas pretty nearly faded out almost
everywhere. Its basis, of course.
was in the human tendency to make
pleasure the main end of life, in
stead of a b%y-product, young folks
are prone to confuse pleasure with
happiness, which are not the same
thing at all.
But l think I can discern, among
the many young folk of both sexes
with, whom l come into contact, a
distinctly religious spirit growing
more strongly all the time; just as
I find in most churches a growing
spirit of tolerance of harmless plea
sures, even on Sunday.
I know some suburban and rural
churches that hold an eight-o-clock
service every Summer Sunday
morning just for golfers aad fisher
men.

London, England, on a Monday and
reaches New York on Saturday. He
has five 25-hour days along the way;
and If he prizes tims as much as
some of us do, he is glad about his
gain.
The traveller takes an airplane
across the continent and reaches the
Pacific Coast on Sunday! He finds
that he has entered the Pacific time
zone, and must set back his watch,
to make total of three hours gained

1t would be fine if he could do
that; but in the midst of the ocean,
he gets a great surprise. He has set
his watch back IL hours since leav-
ing London when he comes to the
International Date Line. He goes to
the captain, and says, Il am surely
gaining lots of time!"

Then the traveller realizes that he
cannot outwit the calendar, bit by
the time he reaches London he gains
enough hours to make up for the
extra hours he lost at the Date Line.
Eastward travellers lose time each
day, but gain it back and more be-
sides when they cross the Date Line.
Noon on Friday becomes noon on
Thursday, just at the point of the
line-which lies roughly along 180
