DOAK, "Gape Collars Are Lovely" "The Piper" Revives Interest in Miracle Play Stories As old as humanity is the interest in drama, and story. fhis interest has been the keynote in learning. Children lis tened to the deeds of their fathers and forefathers and then imitated them and thus learned the customs and habits of their people. With the advent of other means of learning, the story and drama still hold a paramount place in the educa tional and. spiritual existence of people. Some such history is that of "The Piper" nurtured in the old folk life of Germanic tribes, told and retold from ten- eration to generation ana ii- nally written into the story of the "Rat Charmer" by a Ger man poet, and later into a German opera. (Dr. Hans Seitz sang the lead in it once upon a time in Germany.) and later in history it has been told In poetry. Outstanding among such poems is the one by Josephine Preston which is being dramatized by the Salam Drama league and is to be presented 'for the first time in Salem Sunday afternoon in the home of the Calvary Baptist church at the old Grand theatre. That the play should be given in the church is symbolical of its beauty for in truth, hrougb. the piper, it is a protest against petty- ness. intolerance ana ignorance as is represented in the lines which the piper speawrto the mother of Jan, the leading child character: "I love thy child. Trust me I love them, all. They are the brightest miracle I know. Where 'ever I go, I search the eyes of men To find such clearness and it is not there. Lies, greed and cruelty, and dread ful dark! And all that makes illm sad these thousand years. And keeps His forehead bleeding Ah, you know!" In "The Piper" there is an added interest to the regular story Society Editor Pall 1888 The Oregon Statesman tfc Prac tical Pattern The lines of design 188 are extremely simple, yet the effect is decidedly chic.

The drama proper be gan with the old miracle plays which were originally held in the church and which nearly always had three characters in common a devil to represent the evil, a sword 8wallower, and an Imita tion of the hell's mouth. Then there would be other characters to represent the spirit of Christ and that of Mary, or universal motherhood. In the play "The Piper," the piper is the represen tative of good and Veronica rep resents universal motherhood. The production of this nlav hv the Drama league is a compliment to the understanding of Salem, and it Is a privilege as well to have an opportunity to introduce it to both the children and the grown folk. All the stage set tings, thecostume designing, mu sical interpretation, and directing is oeing aone by Salem folk. The proceeds from the seat sale, It is reported, are to be used just to de fray expense of production. Mrs. Otto Paulus. who has tak en much work in the field o the drama both in the west and in the east and who is instructing in "Play Production" in Willamette university is directing the play. Mrs. F. D. Thlelsen has charge of the costuming, Mrs. William Burg hardt is assisting in music inter pretation. and Monroe Gilbert is doing the stage settings.
