Hicks Spoke on | "Theatricals" Before the [ Rotary Club. Prof. R. K. Hicks, of Queen's Uni- | versity, was the speaker at the Rotary | Club's luncheon on Friday, and gave a - | most interesting address on theatri- cals, in which he had something to say about the productions sent out | from Broadway. | 'Broadway sends out what they think we ought to want," said the | speaker. "And in general the stuff can be labelled under three categories: | legs, laughter and sob stuff. "There is a lot of good stuff on the | road," added the speaker, "but it very | seldom reaches a city of less than 100,- | 000 population. These good produc- | tions stay in the large centres. | Speaking about bfirlesque, Prof. | Hicks said, "I do not scorn burlesque. It is- very clever work and has its place." Prof. Hicks stated tha' he felt that | he had a mission for the club, and that had to do with 'an appeal fos the de- | mocratic theatre--a theatre that makes |an appeal to the whole of the public, and not merely to one sectiofi; one that appeals, to the intellect and makes a drive at the heart and the mind. The speaker pointed out that the popularity of the plays did not prove | that they were democratic. They must | appeal, to everyone. Today, there was |a general demand for better stuff on | the stage. On Broadway, they sent out [shows for "the tired busmess man," | but the speaker declared that he did [not believe in this stuff. Shows were often sent out from Broadway labell- ed for people regarded as having no [ brains and who would pay $2.50 to see [the show. Prof. Hicks spoke of the instinct for the drama. It was founded on the instinct for play. The children have it foes the older folk should have it too {and keep it. "And the longer we keep it the better for us," said the speaker. Prof. Hicks stated that.a movement was now well in hand that would cor- rect the present state of affairs. He had reference to the community thea- tre movement or 'little theatre" as it was sometimes known. In England and Russia at the present time, this movement had been carried on. The movement had for its object the sec- uring of the general public to play. Plays were put on by the people. In Russia it was known as the folk thea- tre. The people were writing their own plays and producing them. There were plays by the community for the community. At the close.of his address, Prof. Hicks made the suggestion that the committee in charge of the old boys re-union this summer secure Hubert Osborne, a well-known former King- stonian, to come to Kingston and pro- duce one of his own plays. In moving the vote of thanks to the speaker, Rotarian Dr. H. E. Day stat. ed that the suggestion was a good"one, and speaking of theatricals in general, stated that the Rotary Club would do well to encourage the efforts being put forward.. It was announced that the annual meeting of the club will be held on Thursday evening next, at a dinner to be held at the British-American hotel at 6 o'clock. The officers will be elect- ed at this meeting. The president, A, N. Lyster, presid- ed at the luncheon. KIWANIS ACTIVITIES. | | At the regular meeting of the | Kiwanis Club at noon on Monday, [Ald. Fergus J. O'Connor will address the club on the subject of "The In- fluence of the Unmarked Ballot in Municipal Affairs." This is one of 'the pressing problems that affect the 'guidance of a municipality and should prove of the greatest interest to the members. { Mr. B. Walsh, of the firm of {Walsh & Derry, will be the booster. {The 'house committee, under the | chairmanship of Mr. E. Walsh, will occupy the committee table. The club is boosting the entertainment of the Navy League of Canada (Kings- ton branch), which will consist of theatricals, music and living pie- tures, and is to be held in Grant Hall on the 29th, Preparations are being made to overthrow the victorious Belleville bowlers when they play the return games here a week from Monday. The ninth annual Kiwanis conven- tion, which is to be held in St. Paul, Minn., is already attracting attention and a large delegation from Kings- ton is expected to attend. Y.M.C.A. NOTES -* Sunday morning there will be a special meeting for older boys at the Y.M.C.A. when Dr. J. Miller, "THE, ORIGINALS" "APPEAR AT GRAND on Friday Evening in "Stepping Out." x A large audience was presented at the Grand Opera House on Friday | evening for the first performance of | "Stepping Out," presented ' by the | "Originals," who include many ori- ginal members of the Third Cana- dian Division Dumbell Concert party. | "Stepping Out" is the best per- formance presented by the Originals in this city. Gene Pearson's singing was wonderful. Bob Anderson kept the audience in mirth with his jokes and his appearance on the stage alone provoked laughter. Murray as Maisie Jay, the madam's | maid, was also very good. | | i | The musical numbers in the first act were certainly a decided hit. "Women, Women," by the chorus of | men received great applause, and | "Turned Up," by Bob Anderson brought forth much mirth. "Rough | Stuff," *by Allan Murray developed | into a burlesque Apache' dance, with | Jerry Brayford, and {it brought round after round of applause from the audience. "Love Will Come Back," sung by Gene Pearson, gain- ed great applause and "They Can't Catch Me," by Bob Anderson was another hit. "In the Night Time," sung by Lionel Brodway in the first scene of act two, was very good and Mr. Brodway was brought back for many encores. "I'm On the Staff" by Norman A. Blume was well sung and Blume's impersonation of an Englishman was excellent. A satire entitled "Heroes" in scene two was one of the best scenes in the show. The members of the company who took the parts as the living statue were perfect. The prologue and epilogue in this scene were also good. Scene four, "The Duchess Per- forms," was about the most comical | in the show. The scene was in the drawing room of the Duchess of Dishwater, and a rehearsal of the duchess' charity performance was being staged. The situations were amusing and caused much mirth, The finale, "Yes, We Have No Ban- anas," a grand opera burlesque by the entire company, was certainly good and worthy of the applause it received. The Originals quartette was a feature. "Stepping Out" will be presented at the Grand Opera House on Sat- urday evening with a matinee 'n the afternoon.
