Christmas Plays in
the Home Theaters
The drama! :<• Instinct Is strong in
most children mi.I should lie encourag
ed. snys Mrs Hie.: lie Cole fiosedale in
the New York livening Sun. To the
young child It . \civ lse serves to while
away many i in> hours; to the older
child it can he t> dp u source of Inspl
ration to m b> 0,. sis and a means of
gratifying the ! w. '.ii" for romance and
the desire for td' entnre.
Where titer. :t:o two or more young
children Santa < intis plays i f nil sorts
wilt occttity the pre-Uhi Istmas days.
The most popular and simplest one
is that in which one child represents
the beneficent saint nml the rest of
the family go to bed after hanging the
stockings. The saint fills the stockings
anti mnkos what other preparations
his imagination can compass, then usu
ally becomes a child again and goes to
bed blmself, not wishing to be left out
of the Christmas morning fun so soou
to follow.
All Christmas stories may lie drama
tized. The story of Grctchen. who set
her shoe by the chimney and found a
poor sparrow In the toe. will lie acted
out with as many embellishments as
the story teller has been able to add.
There is a story of two children who
awoke to find Santa Claim in their
room. They accompany him to toyland
and hack witli many adventures on the
way. Tills lends itself well to play
also. Relieving the distress of a poor
family on Christmas morning is a pret
ty ploy. The generous Samaritans go
laden with toys to the unhappy ones,
and piny ends in a Joyous dance.
While tile dramatizing spirit is on
ttie children will not stop with Christ
mas tales, but will play Cinderella,
Goldilocks, Squire Nutkin and any oth
er simple story which is familiur to
them.
