They sought to make It clear,
whether or not they succeeded, as to
now Federal Theater enterprises were
IN no way competitive with the com.
mercial theater.
On its final day, too, the convention
heard from the dean of the American
'theater, Daniel Frohman. As did many
other speakers Of fewer years in the
service Of the stage, Mr.. Frohman
spoke deprecatingly of the fear that the
legitimate theater is dying. Looking
back over his long and highly respected
years associated with entertainment.
ne declared the theater was always
dying, but never really died. It was
among the most encouraging state

talents for the legitimate stage when
otherwise Hollywood might snatch
them from Broadway.
After four days, filled with thou
sands OF words of discussion of how
the theater might combat the perni-
cious appeal-and money-of the
movies, Golden moved in the direc-
ton which seemed logical from the
beginning. His gesture was received
with comparative tumult in the con-
vention hall at the Astor Hotel. Sid
ney Kingsley, president OF the Dram
atist's Guild, announced it at the
luncheon meeting. It stopped the
show more definitely than anything
that has happened since the sessions
began last Monday noon.
If GOLDEN'S gift. however, was
the high light Of the closing DAYS
session, it was still but one of several
important developments.
AT the close Of the days meetings,
1t was announced that there will be
another convention next year. It was
announced, too, that an international
tneater convention will be held in
1889 IN connection with the Worlds
Fair IN New York. Further, there
was discussion Of giving later con-
ventions to other cities. among them
washington, Boston, Philadelphia, Chi
cago and others. And, between the
1rst and second sessions, an effort
will be made to raise 100000 to
carry on the work of the various
groups comprising the American The
ater Council. 1t is not intended that
the week Of complete interchange of
ideas-n not OF complete harmony
between the various groups compris-
Ing the legitimate theater-shall come
TO no permanent good If continued
cooperation can prevent it.
Ideas offered at the convention (thev
must have numbered several thousand,
although the record remains to be COM
Piled, will be sifted by committees and
translated in definite action as nearly
as 1t Is possible. The theater. one
would gather from the intensity of the
delegates, has decided positively not to
die. Instead Of bowling out graciously
and with traditional dignity, it is going
to meet the competition of other en-
tertainment media on the latter's own
terms.
YES STERDAY' three sessions
brought before the delegates and
q number Of interested spectators a
number Of noted speakers. Washing
ton contributed several Of them, at
least indirectly. One was Representa-
tive Emanuel Cellar, who presided at
the luncheon session. In the after
noon, when the subject was Govern
ment and Other Cooperation With
the Theater," Representative Robert
Doughton. chairman Of the House
Ways and Means Committee; Repre-
sentative William I. Sirovich of New
York. Halle Flanagan, Federal Theater
projects director. and William P.
Farnsworth, her assistant were among
the speakers. They spoke, as might
be expected, Of what Washington Tin
the larger sense Of the word, is doing
for a revival of interest in the legtti-
mate theater.

In South Carolina are 10000 farmers. No or

two exceptions, are against it. Every sign and evil

= JOHN PRESCOTT FLETCHER

Henderson county in recent months has
sustained heavy losses in the passing away
of good citizens, number of them full OF
years and honors To the number has now
been added John Prescott Fletcher, clerk
of Henderson courts, who, throughout his
life, was one of the most active and most
widely known among the county's native
citizens.
Mr.. Fletcher was member of a family
that for several generations has been lden-
tilted with the history of Henderson coun-
". AS a citizen he was known for his in
tegrity, for the soundness of his character
and the uprightness of his life. He was
sincere in his convictions and in the eX-
preston of his opinions spoke plainly and
without attempt to equivocate or dodge
issues.
As a public official Mr.. Fletcher be-
lOnged to that class of citizens the MEM
bers of which are not frequently elected to
office. He possessed none of the charac-
teristics of the professional politician. He
was not a political manipulation. His posi-
that if majority of his fellow citizens
believed him worthy to fill public office
and desired him to do so, they would vote
for and elect him. Whether, they did OF
did not elect him was a matter OF sec,
Ondary Importance to Mr.. Fletcher.
On being placed in official station he
gave of his best devotion and most earnest
service to the obligations and responsible
ties of his position, with the result that in
late years he was known as one of the best
qualified and most efficient court clerks IN
North Carolina. Judges and State officials
testify to the smooth efficiency with which
the business of the clerks offices in Hen,
derson county has been transacted under
the direction of Mr. Fletcher.
Henderson county lost a man of the type
that in passing leaves place difficult to
fill in the ranks of its citizenry, in the death
of John Prescott Fletcher.
