history dictates.
Man has been running around
in false faces since history
started to be recorded. For cer
emonial dances, worship, on the
stage, and in the grim business
of pitting man against man in
fighting wars.
In Africa, as well as Alaska
and parts of the United States
where Indians live, men still de
pend on masks to invoke the
spirits. Or "scare them away."
Square Heads for Squaws
Some Indians of the South
west have masks made to fit
over the skull and down around
the shoulders. Round heads for
the braves; square heads for the
squaws. No offense to the lady
Indians intended.
Mothers in some countries
have been known to wear face
covers to make the young fry
behave and take on their nour
ishment. Headpieces worn in some early
Greek plays sometimes had hid
den megaphones inside. The idea
was to amplify the emotions of
the actor, as well as his voice.
This added up to show the
folks who bought cheap seats in
the bleachers or the outfield
whether the actor was trying to
emote, simulate sorrow, joy or
if he was plain mad at some
body. The masks our little kids wear
don't scare anybody. And if the
church doesn't supply them with
lollypops, the good American
family has a few morsels to give
away. Pennies and nickels, too.
If charity benefits, that's fine.
If they leave the soap off my
car windows, that's very fine.
