I have been abroad many times and have studied the theater of Europe. I have spent much time on thd Pacific coast in Hollywood and have watched the development of the motion picture as well as the stage. In order to have a comprehensive vision of the growth of the theater we must go back to its earliest be- ginning. “In ancient times the Greeks held their festivals of Bacchus. Bacchus vag the God of wine. The festival corlisted mostly of drinking and then SULPHUR SODTHES UGLY, TCHING SKIN The First Application Makes Cool and Comfortable.

Jugglers and acrobatl toured the country and played in the streets. They were actors of the lowest time, mostly yagabonds and beggars. The Roman church came to the rescue and revived the theater ot the spoken drama. “The church began to put on mira- cle plays. The parts were played by the priests. The morality plays con- sisted of -three parts. Heaven, carth and hell. The top scene, h en, was painted blue, the middle scene or earth was greem.and the lower, ‘\f‘” red. It showed Satan and many devils. The actors who were portray- ing the different parts, would either be sent to heaven above for noble deeds after death or cast into the | burning fires of hell, where they were met with brimstone and fire and tor-| tured by satan and his devils. | “Secular plays appeared at this time and was met with opposition by the church of Rome.
