ENGLISH DRAMA T0 BE SHUWN

Plans Under Way for G r e a t Theatrical Festival in August.

of the English theatre, from the early sixteenth century to modern times, will be presented at the great theatrical festival to be held at Mal- vern from August 3 to 22, according to plans pnnounced recently my the organizer, Sir Barry Jackson. The festival is dedicated to George Ber- nard Shaw.

In a. recent address before a large audience in the Malvern Public Lib- rary, Sir Barry Jackson, on of Eng- land's outstanding producers and a leader in the repertory movement, outlined the object of the festival, plans which have been made for the festival this year, and the ideal which lies behind the selection of the plays to be performed.

In his address Sir Barry Jackson said it had long been a cherished scheme of his to present a survey of English drama in a quick succession o; plays 0: 55,011 period. England had a. stupendous collection of plays, un- known to all but a few students. and he had no hesitation in saying that the English drama was the greatest in the world. There being no Nation- al Theatre, where those plays might find a perpetual home, it seemed to him that the Malvern Festival was an admirable opportunity for the presentation of his scheme.

TIIE ENGLISH THEATRES

AND RELIGION The English drama, like that of many other countries, had its centre in religion, and he was never quite certain where religion left off and the stage began, or vice versa. Our first English plays were relig- ious, and it had been said that the Church was very quick to seize its opportunity, using plays to teach religion and morals. He wondered what would have been the result had the Ghurchbeen as quicktomake use of the cinema, spreading the most wonderful stories ever told, in- stead of allowing H. r xood to get the lead.

PLANS FOR TIIE FESTIVAL

The approaching festival, the speaker continued. Would consist of e programme covering five centuries of the English drama, the whole pro- gramme to be presenteddurlng each of the three weeks of the festival. The festival would be dedicated to George Bernard Shaw.

The first play would be“I-Iick Scorner", written in 1513 by an un- known author. It was a mixture of comedy and religion; after all the mirth was over, the audience was exalted by prayer. It was safe to say that this play had never been pro- duced since the middle of the six- teenth century. The same evening he intended to produce the first Eng- lish comedy, “Ralph Bolster Doister", written by Nicholas Udall between 1552 and 1554. The only known copy of this play was presented to Eton College by Rev. Dr. William Briggs in 1810. The doner did not know that Udall had been a master at Eton, and it was curious circumstance that the only copy of the play should have found its way there nearly three centuries later. "Ralph R/oister Dois» ter" might be considered s. low com-

the ferry from Grand Island.

An inventory revealed 47 bags of] oats, 3'7 quarts of Canadian whiskey, and 71 cases of ale.

edy, but it was very simple and very honest ,and ended with n prayer for the Sovereign, Queen Elizabeth.

For the third play, Thomas Hey- wood‘s "A Woman Killed with Kind- ness" (1603) would be performed. Written at the close of Elizabeth's reign, this play was representative of the period. The glory of the Eliz- abethan stage was particularly in the development of profound tragedy. The downfall of a prince was the supreme tragedy, and in it Elizabeth-

en's were able to see beyond distinct- ion of class. This particular play was the finest example of this tyne 0f domestic tragedy.

Between the Elizabethan and the Restoration periods the Puritans were in full command, and they en- deavored to root out the love of the theatre from English hearts. When the King came into his own again, a reaction from the tyranny of Pui-lt~ anism led to a grosser theatre, though a number of good dramatists made their appearance. The next play to be presented would be a_ Res- toration Play. “She Would if She Could" written by George Etherege in 1660. Though most of the comed- ies of this period were too free for

best of spirit with litti? offensiveness. Sheridan's "A Trip to Scarborough" written in 1777. would next be per- formed, and this would be followed by Lord Lyttons "Money", written in 1040. This play was last performed in honor of the German Emperor's visit to Drury Lane twenty yours ago; The last play to be performed hndé not yet been selected; it would be as, typical of to-day as possible. Lectures on the development of l the English stage and drama will be’ given during the first ‘week of the festival, when the following well- known speakers will be heard, Dr. F. E. Boss, D. L1tt., Profesor Bonami Do- bree, M. A., Professor Allardyee Nic- soll, M. A. and W. J. Lawrence, of “The Times". strenuous endeavors were being made to attract visitors from Canada and the United States to this year's festival.

Paris Letter

(By Samuel Dadiiell, United Press Staﬂ‘ Correspondent) PARIS, March 6.—The first official figures on tourist traffic given out by the new National Tourist Office Show that general economic depres- sion has caused a. 30 per cent drop in tourist traffic for 1930 compared to preceding years. In 1929 the falling off was given as 20 per cent of the prosperous year of 1028. Tourists from the United States which made a total of 300,000 dur- ing 1920 dropped down to 200,000 for 1030. A large number is expected‘ this year, although present day trav- elers spend considerably less than‘ those of a few years ago. The 111-5 l

stitution of the tourist third class has filled out the ranks of tourists: but they come usually with a limited . personal budget and the duration of , their sojourn is much shorter. The: Tourist 001cc is glad to see that class ‘ of visitor in the general interests oi

national prestige as well as the econ-

omlc benefits derived. i

I British Tourists ‘i . British visitors who numberezl| 900,000 in 1929, fell to 881,000 in 1030. Spain sent the largest num- ber of visitors, more than 1,100,- 000 crossing the frontier in 1030, al- ! though about 400,000 are what are known as "frontier" tourists, and more than 100,000 transit tourists enroute for other countries in Eur- ope.

South America has not varied much in sending its annual conti- gent of about 1000.000 tourists to‘ France, while other countries of Eur- | ope -such as Belgium. the central, powers and Italy send a total of‘ 100.000. The total number of time’ ists to France for 1930 from all countries was estimated at 2,000,000. The activities of German and Ital- i ian tourist centres have diverted,’ considerable traffic from France to‘ something of the pre-war propor- tion. During I030 there were 400,- 000 who crossed the Atlantic to visit Europe, but only half this number remained in France. The increase in cross-Atlantic sailings was noted mainly in the second and third class passenge s.

Tourist Tax

The taxe de sejour, which has been used as an indication for gauging‘ the tourist traffic in France gives nn optimistic report.- Thc volume in tax return since 1927 increased from 18,700,000 francs in that ycar to 21,- 900,000 in 1928 and to 25,171,000 in 1920. This tax which was collected in 1920 from 45 watering places and spas, 82 climatic stations’ and '12 tour- ists poirits, is going to be reduced but from it Franco will be better nble' to establish correct tourist statis- tics.
