Dr. .Mary Sullivan of the Omaha High
school and author of "Court Masques of
James the First," was tho speaker of tho

Drams." Dr. Sullivan compared Mack
aye's bird masque "Sanctuary," which
was presented recently at Astor house
l New York City with President Wil
son's daughter as one of the characters,
and the one to bs held In St. 10 ills next
month to celebrate tho one hundred and
flitlcih annlersary of that cll, ir,
minutes produced tn Shakespeare's tlmr
"These mosques aro proiuced for a pur
pose today,' she said. "Just ns they were
then, thditgh many don't realise tho mo
tive. Its tri purpose being concealed. The
masque Is more than a literary effort, It
bolng the means by' which many a popu
lar movement Is exploited. Through the
masque, drama has become a factor In
civic movement."
Dr. Sullivan stated that Sanctuary''
was a powerful factor for legislation with
regard to bird protection, particularly In
the tariff, and stated that the St. Ixiuls
masque would exploit the possibilities of
the middle west. The speaker offeied a
description by an eye-witness, of one of
the gorgeous spectacles presented In
Shakespeare's day, os refutation of the
statement that elaborate scenery was un
known in the KlUabethan theater.
The program was In charge of tho lit
