Nearly every one of us at some time or other has secretly felt _,-----_ Jthe. jirgelof- .ejtpxesMng_JiigL-llioughtft|^no^err^ooth through the medium, of printer's ink, the painter's palette or the mummer's art. Almost any man thinks that he could add some touch WImprovement to almost any play that he ever wit- nessed. Jtris sa easy to sit back com- I^Mrs. Jessie Royce Landls play, poem or dramatic sketch with which he hopes sometime to startle an amazed and appreciative world. The psychology of all this is prob- ably what makes amateur theatricals as usually known the dreariest form of Indoor sport. Most fotfcs start by being cc^ed per- suaded, cajoled, and coerced into their first-amateur dramatic appearance. It usually requires the "hook" to stop their adventures. Nothing is so interesting to watch as they progress of the average staid, dignified man of affairs hesitatingly accepting and stumblingly repeating his first few lines in this first ama- teur appearance until he blossoms forth In the full regalia of a panbplied glad- iator fondly imagining himself an im- posing, impressive reincarnation of fortably and critically and watch 2^ory-unf^W--and~suggest-^^b^re^er^ and there the plot might be twisted and turned *a bit. 77 Someone has said that almost every- body has carefully hidden away in some pigeoh hole, nook ox ^oriier^ai course, all of these performances are" given before friends, relatives or loving enemies; so all is congratula- tion, air is fulsome praise, and it is only the outsider or stranger that can fully appreciate in all its excruciat- ing agony the wonderful and typical amateur performance. # Everybody imagines that if they just had a fejv hours some day all by them- selves with plenty of ink and plenty of paper they could write a perfectly wonderful story or play, while others fondly hug the illusion that' the mere donning of a character costume mira- culotfsl#-clothe9 them in the ability to tread the boards. They fail to understand that they ^=csmlwwHily-aequirer-in-^tâ€"fewâ€"short^ weeks of usually quite equally,ama- teurish direction and rehearsal even the least inkling of an art that re- quires a life-time of study^injts^er. fectioh. That is probably why the word "amateur" as applied to drama- tics i*» thejewnthat usually brings forthJaVhest, the quiet smile of amus- ed tolerance. Perhaps the greatest compliment that any group of such players have ever received from the audience is thjfe remark, "Pretty good -for a bunch of amateurs." Yet no one ever thinks of the word "amateur" as applied to a baseball organizationâ€"as. indicating in the least degree a lack of first class abil- ity and skill. Pracliciaiy_.JiH football is amateur football and no better foot- ball is play*#Nobody feete inclined to make excuses for anâ€"amaterir^golf champion or tennis player. The word "amateur" receives in these fields its true meaning: the doing or accomp- lishment for love of the thing done. _ So I have many times longed for a word that might truthfully and'fair- lv designate meritorious theatrical productions apart from purely com- mercial enterprise. Laud; North Shore Players I have in mind a group of earnest, capable and talented people in our own community who best express my M-« idea. of what "Amateur theatricals really should mean." : The North Shore Players are not in the accepted theatrical sense ama- teurs. All have had stage careers. In that respect we woulc> call them pro- tessionals. They never attempt any- thing beyond their own capacity to express, or beyond the limits of pos- sible stagecraft where the productions are given. They are amateurs in the highest sense, carrying on the work not for persenal-gainr-btit-fer the-pure- love of the thing.
