Grumraann, Uni versity of Nebraska, Lincoln, wa presented by Mrs. E. M. Syfert, president, to the Omaha Drama league . Tuesday afternoon, Fonte nelle hotel, in a lecture on "Dan ton," by Romain Rolland. Rolland, with his rare devotion to democracy and a tolerance which transcends the Interests of his immediate associates, is certain, said Professor Grummann, to be of lasting fame in the annals of France and mankind. "Danton." however, was referred to by the speaker as a "comparative' failure." "We strike the root of the whole matter." he said, "when we remem ber that Rolland is a critic, and novelist and that his excursion into drama take) him into a field where he is not conversant with the techni cal difficulties." Lack of plot and action, lack of emotional quality, passages too great in length, too much quotation on the - part of characters, and a large number of classical allusions, are some of the specific charges made by Mr. Grum mann. Professor Grummann's next lec ture before the Drama league, Jan uary 18, will be upon "Jane Clegg," by St. John Ervine. Some of the high lights in Pro fessor Grummann's lecture are here given: The New Art. "The new drama In France as in America calls for a new dramatic art. A new school of actors less devoted to tawdrinesa-and less sus ceptible to vulgarity must spring1 up before, a new art is possible. The new art will not be puritanical and assuredly it will not be vulgar." A Mute People. "A difficulty that besets the French as well as the American drama is the fact that we are rrowine more and more to be a mute people. Visit with me alAjost any class and yon will agree that the articulation of pupils is atrocious. Reading aloud in the family is almost discarded, and comparatively rare at school. "In the picture show we look, but we are not enraptured by the son orous beauty of the voice. , A genera tion ago we were glad to pay our dollars to hear Davenport and Macready utter, their wonderfuf sen tences. Are we willing to drop all the joy of the spoken word out of our lives or' shall ve strive to bring back some of the vanished glory of the old stage?" ..Cranks Proverbially Underfed. "Zealots and cranks are proverbial ly underfed and under amused." Art Put, To Test "If ,our art, our best drama and our best music were good for any thing, we should have resorted to them during the great crises (re ferring to recent war days.) We should have gone back to the best sources of inspiration, to the best things that the ideals of the past could .give us." Quotation Weakens Dramatic Force "Wkv are we imoatient with the minister or orator who interlards his address with quotations ?.: It is. be cause we have come to hear this man's message and when he begins to quote, he divides our attention and naturally forfeits our interest. , It is absolutely fatal to characters in a drama. . . It is more , effective dramatically to say: 'Thou shalt not lie!' than to say: 'Moses in the ten commandments says thou shalt not lie.' However good the authority may be, the reference to it weakens the dramatic force." . Great Art is Simple. "Great art, even Gothic art, re veals a dominating simplicity amid a myriad of details. . . Whenever the drama has been simple it has lived, when it has become compli cated it has lost its force." Cultural Band Is Strong. "Not language, nor race, nor trade can bind a people together as effec tively as a common bond of cultural tradition. Great leaders with their trumpets and their drums disturb our judgment for the hour, but when equilibrium is restored it is the na tion's art the flower of its best joy that endures, and allows it to be saved or perish." , , Only One Dramatic Center. "I cannot believe that dramatic activity in Paris reflects the best .things in French character and man hood. . . Practically al! ot our dra matic activity is in New York, not en tirely a city representative of Amer ican life at its best. Instead of va , thousand centers of dramatic activ ity, only one. Herevthe fate of our American plays is made or. unmade, by a set of dramatic managers and a host of players who certainly do not represent our best national ideals. . . . Every community of the im portance of. Omaha and Lincoln might have "groups of local actors." Flowering of Art, " "Where a' whole nation sings there is some chance for'a real'flowering of musical art at the top. The same principle obtains in the drama." Poet Must Preserve Sincerity. "A great poet cannot be harnessed to a program of action. When a poet turns propagandist he commits artis tic suicide, for no one can tell, after that whether he is speaking for him self or for the cause that he represents-. . . D'Annunzio, little as I care for him personally, is the typical poet in refusing to confirm (right or wrong) the feelings of his fellow countrymen. The one thing that a poet must preserve is his sincerity. Because this is true of Rolland, he will continue to be of interest to all true Frenchmen and to civilized per sons the world over."

The Omaha Business Woman's league will meet for dinner Wednes day evening, 6:15 o'clock at Hctel ,' i-oyat rians will be made for the "Onward Omaha" dinner to-be given by Omaha wornta, under the leader ship of Miss Mary Sturgeon, presi dent of the Business Woman's league, Thursday evening, January 20, at the Chamber of Commerce. Following the dinner Wednesday evening David ,Larsen of the Cham ber of Commerce will tell how the men conducted their "Onward Oma ' ! A Case for Explanation. Dear Miss Fairfaxes In the place where I work la a young man who has invited me out several times, but I have' had to refuse because 1 must take by sister with me when I go out. I cannot invite my friend to my home beca'ibe my parents will not allow any-men visitors. For the last week thUf man has avoided me and when we do meet he re fuses to speak. Is It my place to ask him what Is the trouble or should I wait until he foels inclined to speak to me? C. M. -If you refused the young man's Invitation without any explanation, of course he was offended and came to the conclusion that he was only annoying you by his efforts to be friendly. He's acting a bit babyish about it but the fact that you can so hurt him shows he is really interested in you. If you want his friendship ' ask him to arrange to take your, sister along or merely put the condition to him clearly and see what he does. In any case it seems clear that you will have to patch things up andmake the first advances. Tho Result of Nagging. - Dear Miss Fairfax: I have known a man for four years and have gone about with him .for two years. Oc casionally he has not kept ' his ap pointments and I have naturally ac cused him of going out with 'other girls. Last week a girl who knows him, well told me she saw him out In his car with two other men and three girls on a night he was sup posed to be out with me. and had told me he had to go out of town on business. He denies her story. A. M. , Of course, there Is no reason why this young man shouldn't take other girls out in his car. Tou aren't married, nor yet engaged, and he has .every . right In the world to seek companionship where - he chooses. What is unfair is that he broke an engagement with you on the plea of business and then did Just what he pleased. But haven't you brought this on yourself? You nagged at him when he didn't keep his en gagements you insisted that he had been out with other girls. So you put the idea into his head and gave him also the feeling that since you were insisting that he wasn't being true tO"jrou, he might as well live up to the accusation. Haven't you ever heard the quotation, "Might as well have the game as the name?" - "Mother" Tiffany, who for the past 21 years has been acting as a "mother to thousands of miners at Nome, Alaska, has returned to her former home in Seattle Wash. It' is the first timeshe has been out of Alaska since she went there in 1898. Helpful Hints Never use an oil mop on a painted floor. ; Iron linens with the thread, never diagonally.
