Do you like your Drama straight nucd with love and titled with hate? ,

or relish trimmings of Psychology 1-my pose the question:

How Came it to Be?

or perhaps you P"-'I8l' The talkie kind i Less blood and thunder-- More food for the ,Mind'!

You'll find them all. gentle read- gr, piesented this week by the Regional Drama Festival. And if you are like me and get a special lllt out of seeing friends and neigh- bor; appearing in new guises. you'll be at every performance.

But of course you'll go for other reasons. too. One. that there is something about a play with "live" actors. men and women on the stage in the flesh, that has an ap- oealinlz quality that moving-PIG tures and 'l'.V. shows lack.

Doesn't it take you back more than screen plays can to the time when you gave "shows" in the back-yard or barn or living room (and charged admission too(? For of course if it is true that we were all artists once (as was suggested in last week's column) it is doubly true. if that is possible. that we were all Actors once. Lucky we. l! we emerged from the make-be- Iieve world of childhood and our adolescent day dreams and can escape from our own limitations now and then by play-acting or play-viewing. For that of course is the underlying purpose of the rlrama---to enable us to lead for a while richer lives than our own: to supplement our own restricted experiences with those of other people under different circumst- ances. And the finer the drama, the more talented the actor, the more are we lifted out oi our own

lives and live the lives oi the characters on the stage--the more indeed. do we "identify" ourselves

Hero Of Titanic Sinking Said Badly lniured

PETERBOROUGH. Ont. (CPI- llospital authorities said Monday Joe Maddocks, 80-year-old hero oi the Titanic sinking who lost both legs and an arm in a train accident Sunday, was. slightly improved.

The condition of the Galr Paper Company employee. however was still critical.

Maddocks fell off a freight-train box car at Campbelliord, 30 miles east of here and was pinned to the track by its wheels. Both his legs. one above the knee, the other below. and his left arm were am- putated.

A naval veteran of both world wars, Maddocks was one of the rescuers when the giant liner Titanic hit an iceberg on her maiden voyage from England to North America in 1912, drowning l,5l7 persons.

A crew member of the Car- pathla. first ship to reach the scene. he saved seven children. One of them, a baby girl. in grat- ltude, sent him money each year after she . ” d i "b d

with them. ABl8'l0'l'LE SAID IT

The -great and wise Aristotle whose dramatic yrinciplea (set forth about 500 B.C.) were slavish- ly followed for centuries and in- fluence playwrights even now, con- sidered tragedy a higher form of . the drama than comedy. lievspo of the "catharsis" or purging- of base einoti through witnessing with pity and terror the suffering on a heroic scale (and how, they suffered in the Greek Tragedies!) of the stage characters.

interestingly enough. modern psy- chiatrists also use the drama for its therapeutic value. In many mental hospitals patients are en- couraged to act out their tears and hostilities. It is claimed that this hastens the cure of the actor- pstienis and the patients in the audience.

I am glad however that the plays to be presented this week are comedies. The best comedies purge us or cleanse us through laughter. We see our follies reflected in the actors and because it is all in fun we learn without bitterness. I am looking forward especially to the presentation by the "Montague Players' Work-Shop" of Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion". If anything can change a snobbish attitude. the effort of the Phonetics' ( ll) Pro- fessor to transform a London flow- er girl into an Elegant lady. should turn the trick!

(And don't forget the evening of music and ballet in the Community Concert series).
