to Present Drama

Mrs. Henry Frye, whose dramaticabi li ty is wel l known to Narberth, gavea talk on "The D rama" t o th e J un io rCommunity Club at the ir mee ting las tThursday. Mrs . Frye voiced th e question that is puzzling so many theatrelovers at the present time as to whatwill become of the speaking drama,since the a dven t o f t he popular "talkies" has a lready drawn so many ofthe great artists away from the legitimate stage. One fortunate development, Mrs. Frey is cer ta in , wil l be anincreasing interest in the amateur andth e s emi -p ro fe ss ion al production.Numerous "Little Theatre" movementsthroughout the country point to thetruth of this surmise, and since Mrs.Frye assured her listeners that everyone is born with certain dramatic instinct a nd t ha t the desire to impersona te another 's character is inherent inall, it wou ld seem that much hiddentalent might soon be b rought t o l ight

Between twelve and fifteen thousandfans are expected to be on hand tomorrow afternoon to filI every visiblenook and cranny of space around thefootbaIl field as the two tradit ionalfoes, Lower Merion and Radnor, faceeach other across the chalk-ribbedgridiron at Ardmore. For the lasttwo years the teams have battled to ascoreless tie.This is the thirtieth meeting between

the two l eading h igh schoo ls of theMain Line district, a nd t he battle thisyear should be as hard fought as anyof the previous encounters. The twoteams are evenly matched, and theeleven which can wheedle the most outof Lady Luck, or the eleven which canp roduce the most fighting spirit, thatis the eleven which will win.The Maroon has shown a wonderful team spi ri t t hi s season, o ne that

came up smiling and fighting from behind to win out i n more than one battle. They have a powerful, hard-driving offense, and a steady, reliable defense. The Red and White, in turn,has a t ri cky, open offensive that willscore touchdowns at any stage of thegame. They do no t play the game according to Hoyle, but according to thedictates of their own desires. I f theywant t o t hr ow a pa ss, they throw it,regardless of the position on the field,or what not, an d th at is the k ind o ffootbalI that keeps the other teamguessing and ofttimes missing.In Captain Scott and T ip Pet er s,

Coach Adam has two boys with lionhearts. Nothing daunts them; aheador behind i n sco re , t hey f ight just thesame. Parks is a heady quarterbackand Mandes is becoming a niftyground gainer.Up at Radnor, Coach Prevost has

Language,By t his t ime you a re p robab ly nota little fed up on the lists of annoyances, but, perhaps , you fai l to rea lize

that each one o f t hem may be elaborated upon to fill a column and thatalone is something!My ears a re ver y sensitive and anydeparture from the accepted standardsof purity of speech gra te s on them like

t he gra ting of a tax icab 's gears . Herearound Phi lade lphia we hear manyphrases that are the unwelcome gif tsof the "Pennsylvania Dutch" and manythat are due to nothing but carelessness.The most common seems to be "he ,she, or it don't," which is nearly inexcusable. One of my favorite "Dutch"ant ipathies is "any more" meaning"now." A typical sentence of this colloquialism is "Any more people don'ts eem to mind it." Isn't i t awful?" The , ~ o n t r a c t i o n s such ~ "gotta,"gonna , e tc et er a, are pamful. Onetime on shipboard I heard a f lapperfrom somewhere n ear New York talkin g and jo tted down some of her remarks phonetically in the margin ofa book I wa s r eading . The prize elisionwas "watteryugonnado." Another was"wynchu."Almost all Americans abuse the word

"got," which is also overworked by ourEnglish cousins. Of course there is nosuch word as "gotten" but it is nowcreeping into the dictionaries as a colloquial usage. My fathe r used to offermy s is te rs a dol la r for eve ry t ime theyheard him use "got" when he meant"have" and they earned very lit tle thatway.A word I hate is "virtually" and Imay say that virtual ly no newspaperhas any art ic le without it.How many of you know how t o u se"shall," "will," "should," and "would"?I f vou do, you far surpass your compat riots, for these everyday words a renot only murdered in speech but evenin writing.Fo r correctness of etymologicalspeaking I urge the s tudy o f Lat in a ndGreek; for sheer puri ty and concisenessof English diction I recommend the exclusive speaking of French over an ex
