Jaslow Talks Over Radio
Value of Drama to Community Was Subject
"Many people have a wrong notion that to enjoy a good play they must go to the theater to see actors produce it. The drama itself is a highly democratic art, and a good play does not require training above the averages of the industry. The benefits of such an undertaking are many and great for such production works for the good of the community and for civic pride." said Prof. Max B. Jaslow, of the department of English at the University of North Carolina, the author of the Drama to a Community" broadcast over WDAF last night.
"We must wait for native American plays," Prof. Jaslow said. "To create the necessary demand, we must go on producing whatever good plays we have at our disposal. Among them are 'Bull of Hale,' by Clyde Fylee; 'Abraham Lincoln,' by Drinkwater; 'The Servant in the house,' by Kennedy.
An illustration was then given. Last spring, a farming community a few miles from Lawrence gave a play in the community church. Practice was held three evenings a week for two months. There was a real curtain, well-made stage settings, electric lights, and the play was a complete success financially. But he failed to learn according to Professor Jaslow; the play had no educational or artistic value. As a solution for this fault, the speaker advised against the production of foreign origin.
