Several new embers joined. Professor Reed was ade a permanent member of the club. In his speech Professor Reed, who is innected with the Town Theatre, said at there is a close feeling between the tor and the journalist. Both work at ight, lead "harem scarem" lives, and t along well to-gether. Play writing peals to the journalist, in fact it is id that all journalists at some- time in eir lives have felt inspired to write ays. "Play writing," said Professor Reed, s a very complex art involving a strong eanan heart. Play writers must re rd the reactions of the human heart ing to situations in story, plot, and ovon about human beings. "Play writers write to please large diences, not just select ones.. Taking e conflicts, tragedies. etc., from life he akes a play. "Local color in a play heightens the iterest. Color and design can cover fects in a play . "A written play is but one third com etc. The acting and the audience con itute the other two-thirds. "An amateur is ore who has not had chance with an audience. A profes nalist is one who turns out at least a ay a year. As a rule his first play the best. 'The Great Divide' is pro lly the greatest American play. "When writing keep in mind that ac rs who move and speak are to read ur works. Do not let them be mere aginary children.' "Ellimination is the first essential in iting. In your play you have action d speech. When one does not effect e audience the other probally will." Professor Reed expressed the desire r courses in play writing at the Uni rsity-"under the best of the worlds tructors." Professor Reed's talk was followed by general discussion in which many in esting and instructive facts were pre ted. A short blusiness meeting concluded program. -U.S.C.
