REED A TTENDS CONFERENCE ON LITTLE THEATRE REPRESENTS UNIVERSITY Town Theatre Praised By Leaders. of Field-Reed Re turns With New Ideas (By O. M. J.) It is gratifying to know that the Uni versity of South Carolina was among the universities of the United States which had representation at a notable conference of last week-the first con ference of the kind on "The Drama in American Universities and Little The atres." It was held last Friday and Sat urday at Carnegie Schol of Technology Pittsburg, Pa., and to it went from here Daniel A. Reed, director of the Columbia Stage Society and instructor of dramatic arts, at Carolina. The highest authorities of this coun try and Europe led the discussions and made the addresses, the three main topics being: "A General Survey of the American Theatre;" "Dramatic Training in Colleges and Universities" and "Little Theatres and Community Playhouses." Back Full of Ideas Mr. Reed has returned full of the in spiration gained from the leaders in the new movement and from contact with persons from all over the United States who are interested in this cause for which lie, himself is laboring through his classroom, his workshop and his stage. Mr. Reed's presence at the conference, which was attended by some 550 men and women repre senting educational institutions and little theatres the whole nation over, emphasized the fact that the Univer sity of South Carolina is allied with this progressive movement and with this modern method of teaching the arts of the stage and of encouraging whatever creative ability students may have either in writing or acting. Town Theatre Achieves Fame Mr. Reed was delighted and perhaps a bit surprised to find how the fame of Columbia's community theatre has spread among persons interested and how closely it is being watched from the outside. The Town Theatre was spoken of as among the five perman ently established community theatres of the country, which are really reach ing their communities and incorporat. ing themselves into community life. This theatre was referred to by Otto Kahn; backer of the Metropolitan Op era company and great patron of the stage ; by Prof, George Pierce Baker now of Yale, who visited it last year when lie came to Columbia as the guest of the University of South Carolina; and by Dr. S. Marion Tucker, a native South CaroliniaA, who is director of the Play WorkThop of the Polytech nic Institute of Brooklyn and director of the Drama League of New York. Carolina Represents Southeast The University of South Carolina was the only educational institution of the South Eastern States represented at the conference, though Prof. Fred erick Koch, director of Thle Carolina Playmakers and head of the depart. nment of the drama at Chapel Hill, was scheduled to attend and to nmake a talk on "The University and the People's Theatre." Mr. Reed considers the conference as an occasion of great significance and one that lie could ill have afforded to miss. It was from first to last a re cognition of the great value that is be ing p)laced upon the "Little Theatre" miovenient as an edlucational agency and inspiration.
