Last summer an interesting attempt was made to encourage Hoosier p Lay writing. Mr. W. O. Bates of the Little Theatre Society, who was one of the winning writers of Indiana plays, dis cusses the three plays to be presented, as follows: “Treason,” by Maurice C. Tull, one of the four prize plays, though a story of the great war, does not relate to those who plotted against the Gov ernment. but to the class which illus trated the deadlier form of disloyalty incident to exploiting the war’s op portunities for their own selfish pur poses. It begins with a night scene in France between the contending armies wherein two doughboys worm ing their way across no-man’s land, discuss, with characteristic frankness, their view point of the situation until one of them is killed. The scene shifts to 'Washington where, in the family of an army contractor, is found the girl who demonstrates her unworthiness of the soldier who died between the lines and is given his startling farewell message by his buddy. The latter’s mother, who sacrificed her family silver to tho contractor to buy Liberty Bonds, is a pathetic figure. Asa soldier in France the author gathered his facts at first hand. From France and "Washington to an enchanted garden in a far-away The CONTRACT is a medium large shape. A staple hat with lots of character. An unusual val ue in this style hat.

But, alas, her stem old father, the Wind, had forbidden her to kiss anybody and this is one occasion when she forgets the command.

The third play of the bill. “Where Do We Go From Here?” makes its transition from the present to the fu ture. its sub-title being a one-act pre vision of the impending."
