NEW YORK, June 7.—Realizing
the need for wholesome entertain
ment for the soldiers training in the
national army and national guard can
tonments throughout the country, the
government of the United States, for
the first time in history, has under
taken the task of providing dram
atic amusements of a high order and,
to maintain and improve the stan
dards already set, has gone into the
business of theatrical management.
The success already achieved, accord
ing to a resume of the situation com
piled by the comission on training
camp activities of the war department,
in charge of the work, augurs well
for the continuation and expanse of
the work.
As the first step, the war depart
ment constructed in each of the six
teen army cantonments a theater seat
ing 2,500 or 2,000 persons, and in the
national guard cantonments, a smaller
j one with a capacity bet ween l,0u0 an 1
1,200. In each of these theaters is
being presented nightly a dramatic,
musical or vaudeville performance for
which the admission charge is 25
cents.
I he plays presented are a(lV Broad
way successes of past yearn' by
excellent companies, the . ^of
which have given their services ai
greatly reduced salaries. Royalties
have been waived by the authors and
the scenery and costumes have beer
donated by various theatrical man
agers. Some of the actors appeared in
the original productions.
The government itself owns m
operates a number of the companies
A new play, “A Marriage Made in
Heaven,” by Captain H. II. Hughes ol
Camp Lee, written expressly for th<
production in cantonments, marks the
initial attempt of the United States
in the encouragement of the young
dramatist. When first presented at
Camp Lee, May 16, the play proved an
instant hit.
Although investigation has showr
that the soldier's taste runs to farces
and musical comedies with plenty oi
pretty girls, the government is aboul
to experiment by booking a classica
play, Moliere's ‘‘The Imaginary Inva
Hid,” through the camps. More ambi
tious than the type of entertainment
thus far presented, the piece pos
sesses a distinct farcical appeal Its
production by the Cobarn players it
awaited with interest.
The kind of plays possible for pro
duction in the Liberty theaters, as the
cantonment playhouses have beer
named, is limited by various causes
and it is impossible to judge of their
suitability by ordinary standards. Ex
perience has shown the soldiers pre
fer comedies, farces and musical plays
Melodramas and plays dealing witl
the war are little liked, except ir
rare instance!. *'*1
Because of these facts, the commis
sion on training camp activities has
appointed a play-reviewing commit
tee, whose duty it will be to see
Broadway productions, as well as to
decide upon past successes and even1
new plays, with a view to their pro-j
duction. Lack of esthetic value is j
not to influence the committee in its1
choice of the plays, as entertainment
only is to be the basis for rendering!
of judgement.
The throughness with which the
committee’s researches must be con-j
ducted may he understood from the
reproduction of some of the questions
which appear on a blank form which
the committee must use in submitting
its report on a play. The questions
follow:
Is the play interesting? Is it hum-1
orous? Is the play decent? Does it]
offend against any religious, racial!
or national faith or conviction? Is
the acting good, medium or bad? How;
many in the chorus? Are the girls;
pretty? Do the dance well? Do theyj
sing well? Is the music pleasing?
