TTEATIST'S m MlAl AMKHU'A.N. ATLANTA. OA., StJNDAT, UKCEMRETI 23. 101?,.
University, to Atlanta for lecture
series.
Prevented by action <>f the Hoard of
Education 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*
I 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 Jjeague on
theatrical productions, buf 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. Si■ : < r, r. presi
dent; the Rev. ' .
Mrs. Edward T. Brown. Mrs. n ohv

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
1,00 ' members. She is hopeful that
this number will bo secured. The
membership is 600, having grown rap
idly during the last year.

will be the conference on Maurice
