A. letter received here tills ween
from a New York theatrical man who
sojourned in the environs of Tr.von
last winter commented very enthustistically
on the Drama Fortnightly
.chedu'e?the presentation ot ten
;>lays which he witnessed in Tryon
luring the season. He stated tliat
hese plays compared very favorably
vith the best of the plays he wttlessed
in the I.ittle Theater Tournanent
held in New York City recently,
le was very anxious to see a "troupe"
rom Tryon compete iu the next Tourlanient,
to be held in November, tn
is yet an undesignated place.
Aside from the Belasco cup, which
s presented to the winners of the
ournament, and four cash awards ot
>200 eachcjf a little group representng
the "Invisible Little Theater or
Tryon" would appear in this compeition,
the venture would attract the
ittention of more people of the cuiured
class?the type of tourist we
vould gladly welcome to Tryon with
>pen arms than the publicity or all
he Development Companies in the
'arolinas combined. And in I the event
lint one of the prizes is awarded to
fryoit?that a little town its size
ould master a "Winning Cast" and be
dared oil the theater map?would be
in achievement that would give trenendous
impetus to Tryon's Inrellecual
life.
Mrs. Peattie's play, "The Alreat Deusion,"
from her published booK,
'The Wander Weed," has been selectid?the
work of a Tryonite one that
ould give Mrs. Hebbert, Marie Pratr,
W. Weigel and Lawrence Goellet a
chicle with every opportunity to display
the abilities with which this Newfork
theatrical man was so much
ntpressed. Then again, inasmuch, as
h re are only four speaking parts,
he expense incidental to the trip to
.vhere the next Tournament will tie
teld is cut to a minimum.
Sometime this summer, after these
four have rehearsed a sufficient number
of times to render this play tnu
lligently. a performance will be given
under the auspices of the Chamber

community that the [>lay and the rasi
possess sufficient merit to warrant entrance
into competition with the other
Little Theater groups in the country.
We should like to hear from Tryon
