the viewpoint of each part, he said.
'East and West have a different set
of problems which all should apprec-

done much inebeautifying the town

MISS G. C M. WHITE
ADDRESSES THE
CANADIAN CLUB
On Friday evening, January ,15
Canaditin Club members ' had
PiqVilege of hearing Miss G. C.
White, of Toronto discuss "The L
Ile Theatre Movement," Miss Wh
is on the staff of the Mail and E
pire, and is well-known to its rea
ers as "Bride Broder," the editor
the Women's Page.
Referring to Dr. Redmond's intr
duction of herself aid her subjec
Miss White emphasized the lac
that theatres and plays date back t
the days of Aeschylus, Euripides an
Aristophanes; that the Christia
Church in its early days and in me
iaeval times made use of the relig
ious dramaor play; that the need o
the individual for such recreation a
the theatre provides, is evidenced i
early childhood by the childish pia
of "dressing up" and impersonatin
some imaginary character; and final
ly, that the theatre is not necessar
ily as so many have learned to feel
a naughty thing, but that it may be
under wise management, a valuable
means of education and a source o
great erejoyment.
,Lord Bessborough, Canada's Gov-
ernor-General, is a diStinguished pat-
ron of the drama, and in his English
home is a well-equipped theatre.
When he was in Toronto, several of
what would be commonly considered
his more important engagements
were set aside in order that he might
visit Hart House, which is really the
headquarters of the Little Theatre
Movement in Canada. Miss White
prophesied that during His Excellen-
cy's term in Canada, we shotild see
the result of his interest in the de-
velopment of the Canadian drama, es-
pecially in the rural communities.
The advantages of a little theatre
or dramatic club in a small town or
rural community can scarcely he ov-
erestimated. Besides developing lat-
ent musical and dramatic talent, it
may be the means of bringing out
hitherto ensusbected gifts of cos-
tume -designing, sewing, scenery -
painting,' carpentering, and so forth,
But its benefits may be felt in many
cases in a more intangible, but none
the less valuable way. As an exam-
ple, the speaker cited a gossip and
scandal-ridu
den commnity which had
become a vastly different and very
pleasant place to live in, as a result
of a community play instituted and
managed by a wise and tactful wo-
man.
In spite of the radio, the moving -
picture; and the man ir other pastimes
of to -clay, people are restless and dis-
contented, and are always in search
