In the World of Books

By EDNA M. LEVEY Indianapolis Public Library Puppet shows, triumphant over the childish imagination, have stormed even the citadel of school life and now a number of schools are presenting them as part of the school curriculum. Orchard school recently presented a number of plays at the public library, and now Miss Lucia Ketcham has drilled the pupils of School 36 in the production of “Midsummer Night’s Dream.” For a child, the manipulation of a puppet, the bringing to life of an inanimate little body, gives a breathless joy, a mysterious sense of power. Puppets dance and jerk through the ancient history of Egypt and the Orient. They -gesture in the ancient rites of Greece and Rome. They appear in the writings of Plato and Apuleius. • Originated in 1600 Pucinella, a famous buffoon, probably originated in Naples around 1600, and his descendants have traveled far and wide since then. There is Punch in England; Pulzinella in Germany, and in France, Polichenelle or Guignol. With great enthusiasm continental countries received puppet shows until some of the greatest writers and musicians became interested in them. The German poet, Goethe, the great Italian dramatist, Goldoni, and the French Skeptic, Voltaire, all had their own puppet stages and wrote puppet plays. Haydn composed marionette operas. Gounod wrote the piquant, stilted “Funeral March of a Marionette.” Even George Sand and her son Maurice owned puppets and gave shows for the amusement of their friends. Made of Terra Cotta The very oldest puppets were fashioned of terracotta. Other ancient ones were of bone, ivory and carved wood. Perhaps the most graceful of all were the shadow puppets of* the Orient, made of stretched hide, beautifully gilded, colored and pierced. These were manipulated by slender rods of bamboo and so placed between a light and a screen that colored shadows appeared before the audience. Shadow plays still are to be seen in China, India and Java. Charming books on marionettes in
