RESEARCH CLUB STUDIES HISTORY OF THE DRAMA Mrs. Henry Heller was hostess, Monday afternoon, to the members of the Research Club, at the Mrs. D. D. Heller residence on South Fifth street. Mrs, R. D. Myers had charge of the program for the afternoon and gave a most interesting talk on the subject, “The Play's the Thing.” Mrs. Myers gave the history of the play, which dates back to before the Master was on earth, when the ancient Egyptians portrayed in action, the lives of their godesses and gods, which was a part of their religion. The Grecians were also lovers of the drama and were the first to have a theater which was a natural out-of doors style. The literature of that day portrayed their drama, and their actors were all men. Young men were used in the women's parts. The ladies could attend but were obliged to sit in a certain part of the theater which was set aside for them. Athens was the first city to boast of two theaters. Rome followed quickly with the first in doors theater on the level and the wave of the drama soon spread over all Europe. During the Renaissance period ot the fifteenth century, there was a reversion from the dull and pedantic writings of the schoolmen, to the freer, more vivid pagantism of Greece and Rome. The drama was not so clean and pure. The Dark Period followed and then the Puritans came to revise it again into it's former cleanly state. New York had a playhouse as early as 1800. and in 1825, one was build in that city which is still in use. The theater in those days was, and still . is, known as the place ot' rest for the I tired business man. Then came the ! vaudeville and a trifle later, the musi- ■ cal revue, and at present time, the ; plays of the nineties are being revised. Plays in the United States during the past ten years have been subjected to severe criticism. The literary people of the day are not countenanc- • ing them. The last six months, how- ; ever, has brought a great reaction and five big playhouses in New York city have been closed. New York sent for Joseph Burvine, an Englishman, to come to America to criticise our ■ plays and-in his summary of the situi ation, he stated that tliere were two things uppermost in the minds of the • American people, first, they want sincerely honest intentions of plays giv- , en, and second, they demand sincerei ly honest prices with the ticket specu- ) lator out of running. Mr. Burvine I stated that the situation is not only ' prevalent in America but is world . wide. The educated middle class ' people are the ones who are demandt ing that the drama return to it’s pure • state. They look upon .drama as a ' portrayal of art as well as an amuset ment. The last meeting of the Re- . search Club will lie held next week with Mrs. Carrie Haubold as hostess. ( Mrs. Haubold will also give a program • on Niendellsohn at this time. i . ENTERTAINS I ART DEPARTMENT The Art Department of the Womi in’s Club held their last study meeti ing of the club year, last evening, at . the home of Mrs. Homer Lower on [ West Adams street. Mrs. John 7. ■ Myers, chairman of the department. • presided over a short business session, during which plans were made I for next year’s work.
