"The stage hat alnays dictated the
kind of play written," declared
Kenneth MacUowan, dramatic critic
for the New York tilobe and author
of a book on "The Theater of Tumor
row. Speaking rrnlay Uternoon
before the Urania league at the Fon
tanel le. Mr. MacGowan emphasized
the point that the play construction
of the nineties, with itt cast iron
three or four acts, i breaking down.
To tome it teems deterioration, but
to Mr. MacGowan it it the death
knell of realism, and because of the
new stagecraft, with itt added facili
ties for lighting, color, motion, the
drama ,of the future it going to be
richer than that of the lat'40 years.
"1 have been attacked, taid the
speaker, "or saying that dialogue
would be unnecetsary to future play
writert. 1 didn't say it. If dialogue
alone it permitted to the playwright
he it crippled. Lighting and color,
if combined with dialogue, enrich
the drama."
The technique of writing playa ha
changed, Mr. MacGowan stated.
Authors are writing more episodi
cally, using many scenes, using plots
within plots, going backward or for
ward in time as they like, and to
prove his point the speaker quoted
recent successes such at "Redemp
tion" "The Yellow Jacket." "Seven
Keys to Baldpate" and "Under Cov
er." MacGowan sees the influence
of the moving pictures in tin great
er fluidity. "People get used to sud
den changes of scene and time and
they like it," he said.
"After all. Shakespeare's stage was
almost as fluid as the movies. Ham
let hat 20 scenes and Macbeth 29,
and no one seems to care."
His interpretation of the new ex
pressionist movement in Germany
which is going on in both art and lit
erature seemed to interest Mr. Mac
Gowan's hearers. "The new artist
tries to paint his own feeling," he
explained, "not his feeling about
something, but just his feeling. If he
wants to paint hate he paints a house
that looks like hate. They have pro
duced some plays which are all tosh,
but a few that are really fine."
In Dronhesvine concerning the
drama of the future, Mr. MacGowan
said that the playwritcrs would con
dense their dialogue, in the manner of
the head line or title writer or the
advertisement. He thinks that the
subject matter will be an attempt to
get at the subconscious mind, and
will deal with man as he really is
with all. his passions and desires un
derneath the surface.
'The future plays will be mostly
m prose, he declared, ana tne
verse, if there is any,- will vary to
suit the material. If anv verse was
ever rightly named, blank verse
was! he added amid the smiles of
the audience.
Mr. MacGowan also sees a ten
dency in the drama of today to turn
to the picturesque, not as a chance
for the artist to show off, but be
cause it seems more unreal and the
audience is more willing to give the
writer and players greater scope.
In closing, Mr. MacGowan spoke
highly of Eugene O'Neil, who has
Tea-Dance for Mr. Smith.
Mrs. Blanche Patterson will en
tertain 10 or 12 guests at the tea
dance at the Brandeis restaurant Sat
urday afternoon, complimentary to
Ben F. Smith, who is the guest of his
daughter, Mrs. Joseph Baldrige.
Problems. That Perplex
Ansnertd by
BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

V
Too Young to Marry.
r Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a mar
rled woman with five children. We
ate just poor people and can hardly
make a living. My husband works
in the packing house and we are
paying for a home. In addition to
our five children we are supporting
a,' lo-year-old orphan girl. Her wid
owed mother was a very dear friend
of mine and just before she died
four years ago I promised her that
I would rare for her daughter. Now
wa care for her almost as much as
one of our own children. Now, Miss
Fairfax, here is my problem. A
man 41 years old, who is a widower
with six children, the oldest a girl
12 years old and the youngest 3
years old,, wants to marry our or
phan girl. He claims that he loves
her and while I am sure that she
doesn't know what love is, she Is
certainly infatuated with- him. He
i a wealthy farmer ana lives in the
tiountry. She would have a lovely
home and I guess that he could buy
her most anything, but considering
the difference In their ages and she
being so young, do you think I
would be doing my duty to give my
consent? But we did not adopt the
girl. She just came to live with us
d we never even thought of it.
Now as things are could we prevent
their marriage by with-holdlng our
consent?
7 Flease tell us. Miss Fairfax, what
you think our duty is to the girl
and to her dead mother, whom I
faithfully promised I would care for
the girl. Would it be necessary to
have the girl's consent in order to
adopt her now? MRS. L. D.
A girl of 15 is too ydCng to marry.
The difference in age between this
girl and the man is more than is
desirable, but if she were 30 and he
56 the case would be different,
though the same, difference would
exist. Encourage her to wait until
she is 18 or 20. I do. not think
you would have any legal control
over the girl.
" . "Tiiko a Child."
1 I would like to have your advice
on this question. 1 have sent a
birthday card to my sister-in-law's
sister for fun. But I find out now
that she did not take if for fun.
There is a married man here In
town and I wrote a birthday card
addressed to her from him. She
does not like him. She asked this
man about the card and ot course
he said he did not write it. Should
I tell her I wrote it or be silent?
And then also. Miss Fairfax, I
do not care to go with boys, so how
can I let them know. Just tell
them right out or what? I have
many boy friends, but I am like a
child of 12 and instead I am 17.
,: ' ' ME.
""-You seem to like to think of your
self as childish. Better overcome tt
or you will find yourself a silly old
thing about the time you are 40.
Some women never get over the
idea that they are just "like a child"
and it is not very becoming when
they are old enough to know better.
It is what psychologists call "infan
tility." By all means tell the truth about
tae card. I think if you, really do
i.
not want to go with boys you will
find ways of conveying the informa
tion to them.
Grey Eyes: Better have a definite
understanding on the engagement
before you let the young man as
sume the privileges of a fiance.
Blonde and Brunette: We can
tell our friends usually by their at
titude and conduct toward us. If
we like other people it helps them
to like us, too. There are no magic
potions for competing people to
like us.
I like white for graduation. Tou
ask for a becoming color for one
with dark hair and dark blue eyes.
Blues are good. There is a peri
winkle blue this season which is
pretty for dress wear. If your com
plexion is clear you could wear al
most any color. If there is yellow
in your skin, don't wear the shades
of tan that bring it out.

Here is a fur and velvet trimmed
coat that is out of the ordinary, and
very good looking. Have the -o!lar
and piece down the front of the coat
of one piece of white or gray fur.
Cut bands of black velvet ribbon one
inch longer than the width of the
fur. Fasten these velvet bands
around the fur by tacking each end
to the coat under the fur. Have the
velvet at intervals of five inches.
Use the velvet on the cuffs in the'

From G. M. M.
Here's to the girls of 14. Not to
the ones who act grownup, wear
clothes like young women wear, or
go out with beaus. No, not that
kind, but the ' ones that are real
girls. Tou don't have to wear silken
gowns, and high-heeled slippers to
have a good time, but a middy and
a khaki skirt are better.
You don't have to have boy
friends, but real girls that mean
everything and help you through
thick and thin.
I am a girl who has friends, girl
friends, that help and understand.
We don't go to dances or go with
boys, but we girls go together out
through the country and we have a
good time.
You may think that we're old
fashioned, but wfr don't care; we
wear our hair in a braid.
Tes, it's best to be young as long
as you can; you'll always have mem
ories of the fond old days, when you
were just girls.
Bobbie: No objection in the
world to giving a birthday present
to a second cousin if you know him
well enough to want to do it and
have the price for it.
Yellow and green would be good
evening colors for you; blue and
black for day wear. I think you
know, my views on kissing.
M. S.: The better way to a suc
cessful shampoo is to reduce the
soap to a liquid by shaving it fine,
adding. water and letting it boil a
couple of minutes. Wet the hair
first. Follow with a goodly dose of
the cooled liquid soap and rub good
and hard right into the scalp. Re
peat the soap wash twice if the
head of hair is heavy possibly
three times. Then rinse in clear wa
ter three times at least In rinsing
is the secret of a good wash. If
you have a bath spray, rinse with
that. A final cold rinse tones up
the scalp. Then rub the head vig
orously with a rough towel and it
will dry more quickly. Do not use
borax or ammonia in the water.
Used in any quantities it dries the
hair.
Household Hints
Try shirring eggs in a layer of
hot hominy. Serve with cheese
sauce.
To clean a slender flower vase
fasten a piece of oil sponge onto a
stick and push this down into the
vase; this will also be useful for
cleaning decanters and water bottles.
