Nation's Theatre Helps Nation's Youth (Continued from first page) of world events. They should be protected against accepting conditions as they now exist and be enabled to see beyond tho terrible things that am happening so that they can realise there are many line things possible in life for /thorn. Nothing is more tragic than a stunted childhood, the careless frustration of youthful dreams and aspirations. "In Europe the Uvea of millions of children tv^ve been blasted. In America. during this difficult period, we must see to it that our children receive proper guidance. Clare Tree Major, years ago. foresaw this need, and provided iter Children's Theatre as one of the answers." Nothing, -however, it was emphasized. is permitted to detract from the dramatic unfoldment of the story. Everything else, colorful costumes, settings and stage properties are subordinated to the ewift action aud distinctive characterizations that move the play along from one moment of suspense to another, up to the final climax. Mrs. Major baa seen to it that each play has plenty of humor, of light and gay scenes which entrance Che child. There are occasional tears but no scenes that terrify. A skillful blending of fancy and reality is accomplished, with the adult professional cast giving a sincere portrayal of characters children love and who appear ver^ real to them on the stage. When "Seven Wishes", December 6; "Alice in Wondertad", January 31, and "Robin Hood", March 7 are seen in Camden young and old will be equally fascinated is the opinion of Mrs. Goodie le for it still holds true that humans remain, regardless of age. "all children at heart". Of'the 1,100 species of lizard in the worid, only two are poisonous and these are found only in the United States and Mexico. ...
