For play acting ie fun, and of a very
busy healthy sort
You can't oast and rehearse a play
a,dvertise it and present it In business
like fashion tor a night or two, with
out drawing heavily on whatever in
telligence and imagination may lie evi
dent or latent in the community.
There muat be organization and co-
operation and a kind of daring, No
-village undertaking that I know of so
sharply lifts people out of routine let°

Capable Leadership.
I can hardly imagine a village from
which a few young men and women
haven't gone up to a university only
to distover that playwrighting, stage
decoration and acting are now objects
of sober study and practice. Many ot
these scatter homeward every year,
erect with a new enthusiasm.
The home magazines have recog-
nized the movemene by publishing
many new plays with instructions for
inexpensive staging.
There is hardly a normal school or
high school to -day in whin you will
not End some bright young teacher
who has designed a stage -setting or
two or picked up some knowledge: of
sketching costumes and of the effec-
tive 1100 of .colors.
The agricultural colleges are at it.
With thts, widespread movement has
come a knowledge that formal scenery i
is no longer necessary.
It is hard to think of a play that
can't be presented better in simple
draperies than in crudely painted olar-
fashioned seta.
Lighting is no longer a serious prob-
lem; any bright boy with a hunch at
wiring a motor or setting np a radio
outfit oan quickly grasp the simpler
essentials.
Interesting plays can be pres•ented
with dignity and charm on a platform
in a schoolroom.
Of one truth I am convinced: There
Is eonsiclerable talent in any small
community, particularly among the
young people. There is plenty of it
on farmsanywhere.
Hunt out that talent, develop it, let
native enthusiasm find a healthy out-
let, and you will soon be in the way of
building an organization of which your
community will have reason to be
-proud.
know of no more stimulating com-
munity a.etiv-ity. It is a clean, busy,
stirring seat of recreation, and there
Is almost a coinplete education in it.
Before going into the many interest-
ing problems that arise in presenting
plays indoore—probleme of selection
of the play, casting, rehearsing, pre-
paring the stage, and so on—it will
perha,ps be timely to touch on outdoor ;
playa and pageants.
A pageant, as the term is now un-
derstood, is a series of historical or,
symbolical episodes designed to reca,11
the growth of a community, Or ot an
1
sant, keep in mind two important re-
quirements—a fairly wide place for
the action, preferably beside a river
or pond, as you may wish to show the
Indians in their canoes, and somewhat
masked by trees; and roena tor the
audieuce to sit.
If you pan find a natural stage area
beneath a sloping hillside you are for-
tunate, for then your audience will be
able to look on in comfort from the in-
cline.
Building a large enough stand for an
audience is expensive business and is
° seldom necessary.
Outdoor Plays. -
Outdoorplays have in summer and
early fall a charm all their own.
They are simpler than pageants,
calling, for a smaller stage aud much
leas in the way of organizatiori. Often
there are pleasant old private grounds
in a village that will gladly be loaned
for the purpose. If trot, there is
iil-
niost always a grove or a field within.
reach.
It is well in selecting outdoor bills
to avoid realistic modern plays calling
for indoor scenery and furniture. If
you need to suggest a rear wall simply

and hang cambric or Canton flannel
with openings for doors and windows.

may be used to suggest a house.

the mother gave a cry close to the
