FIB BEST FUlYSi Winthrop Ames Offers to Send His Successes to Aid Stage Uplift Move. Continued From*Paqe 1. cn of Atlanta who possess dramatic talent There are many such, said Mrs. Spiker. She named Miss Frances Clarke, whom Percy Mackaye com mended for her work n a production of hi«r “Jeanne D'Arc;" Miss Dorothy High, Miss Tinsley Harrison. Miss Sarah Uovyles and others. Besides this, a definite offer has been made by Winthrop Ames, of the Lit le Theater, to bring his company in “Prunella" to Atlanta for one or two weeks' performance, and Clinton H. nil ton, prod net or of Mrs. Burnett’s "Racketiv Pack** tty House." has an nounced that he will bring the lead ing juveniles of his company to At lanta for a performance, their work to be supplemented by that of pupils in the private schools of Atlanta All this certainly will be effected, Mrs. Spiker said, if the league enlists I, 00) members. She is hopeful that this number will be secured. The membership is 600. havrhg grown rap idly during the last year. The first activity of the new year ! will be the conference on Maurice I Maeterlinck and “The Blue Bird." to be held at the Atlanta Theater Tues day afternoon, when Charles Hamp den. stage director of the play, and Miss Alice Butler, a member of the cast, will be the principal lecturers. Next week will begin a series of lec ture readings by Benedict Papot. a distinguished French student of the drama, who will analyze and rea\3 the contemporary French dramatists. The league is endeavoring also to bring George Pierce Baker, of Harvard University, to Atlanta for a lecture series. Prevented by action of the Board of Induration from working in co-opera tion with the public schools, the Drama League has enlisted the pri vate schools, and in each institution will produce a play this year, thinking thus to develop the dramatic instinct of the pupils. In all Its activities the league will endeavor, as Mrs. Spiker explained, to exploit the work of Southern dramatists, whether prom ising beginners or established suc cesses. A step toward attaining recogni tion for Atlanta as the Southern drama center will be a request to the National Drama League that the At lanta league be not forced to accept the verdict of the national league on theatrical productions, but that it be authorized to issue its own bulletins on plays that come this way. "We are working in every way, you see,” said Mrs. Spiker. "for the de velopment of Southern initiative and a Southern dramatic art.’' The Atlanta league will continue its series of readings^and analyses of standard dramas, which last year at tracted considerable interest, and which did more than any other one thing to swell the membership. The league has three working depart ments, governed by the junior, educa ; tional and playgoing committees. Its officers are .Mrs. W. C. Spiker. presi dent; the Rev. W. W. Memminger, Mrs Edward T. Brown, Mrs. R ohv . Robinson, vice presidents; Dudlei (ouli-s. secretary; Lindsey Houkiiw treasurer, and Mrs. T. B Felder Mr Emma (Jarrett Boyd.
