REPERTORY THEATER FOR EL PASO
PRESENTS FASCINATING PROSPECT
EL PASO will do well to begin passing for a permanent
repertory theater. The repertory theater as it is un
derstood in European countries is something different from
tbe "stock company" which exists is some American cities.
The repertory theater haa a permanent company bat ft
changes the bin every day instead of -weekly or at longer
intervals. And by working with similar ioatttBiiosa is
other places it com ma nits the services or star actors
actresses from time to time for leading parts in more im
portant dramas.
While the repertory theater changes its bill daily that
does not mean that a play it grrea only oace. on the con
trary by various methods of fixing the weekly programs ft
:s possible to give a popular play as often as fear times in
a week without nmning two nights oonseeatively aad inch
i play may rim throughout a season or more than one
ezson. The object is to prepare and perfect a large reper-
tory of plays offer a wide variety keep the best ones aHve
and yet give a showing to many plays that would not stand
a long ran or ores a ween ran ceasecativeiy.
To get the best result from such a project the theater
should not be a large one; there is a certain intimacy in a
small playhouse that is lacking in one larger than the occa
sion may call for. A crowded house is good for actors and
adience while empty seats even in a large house hare a
chilling effect oa beta. This was discovered too late is the
New theater in Hew York which probably wo old have suc-
ceeded if it bad not been so hnge; a most excellent and
commendable undertaking failed becaase it was started on
a disproportionate seal.
There is a growing Hteratore available in English of
modern drama suitable for occasional performance. Quite
outside of the "royalty plays" the metropolitan snccestes
Tcr whose representatioa is the "provinces" too large
' barges are commonly made to admit of their use in a
-nodest venture there are nnmerons plays available which
weald afford admirable entertainment to most audiences
and which can be osed at no prohibitive cost.
English and Irish playwrights are concerning thest-
5 rives more and more with the production of sach pieces
.-no' there is reason to hope that a distinctively American
drama would develop if this plan ceoid be generally adopted
through tbe United States. Then there are countless plays
adapted from the French Spanish German Scandinavian
ana xussian mat woara he avails Hie.
It would be well in such a repertory theater to present
a sprinkling of the old English and ether classics: for one
thing all school children continue ta study these dramatic
masterpieces as literature yet only a very few ever save a
chance to see them acted on the stage. There weald be a
constant and ever fresh audience from the schools alone
for these; and a great many older people -take anqaeacs-
aaie oeiigat m tnem wnenever tsey get a chance to see
them which is mighty seldom.
But the bills would be made ap mostly from modern
drama as already suggested. It would be easy to test out
each community and determine by experiment fast what
kind of plays would be best suited.
To provide sufficient changes of scenery and costume for
sach a project would be more a matter of intelligent plan-
ning and direction than of money expenditure. It is easy
to make costumes de tor many different plays with slight
changes in details; and the same is trae of scenery for the
miner accessories make a big difference and to a large ex-
tent these can be improvised or borrowed I
A local corporation co-H finance the initial costs aad'
assume rne mat nacs wit the assistance of experienced
theatrical people. Ta a eonsiaetabie extent the personnel
of the stage company weald be recruited locally or region-
ally after the movement got under way. The movies are
all the time developing new talent Why cannot we do
likewise and have the fas of wotldsg ft oat?
The Border Army.
r!E PROPOSAL that most of the American troops along
the Mexican border be withdrawn whether as a sign
of friendship for Mexico or for "economy's" sake may be
I m ill right in sentiment oar as a practical proposition it is
aadTsot necessary and wonm in tact ta a naa move.
Maintenance of strongly garrisoned posts by the United
States along this border need not be and is not a sign
that we expect to use them against Mexico. With Mexico
at peace and with friendly relations existing between the
two republics the southern republic should not take ft
amiss if we keep troops in the camps tnat nave oeen per-
manently built at a cost of mfJHena.
It was demonstrated daring the war that the south and
the southwest afford the best places to train troops. The
chmate is better the year round. Almost all the year life
in the open is pleasant. Troops have to be trained some-
where. It is a hardship en the men to train thera in the
rata and mad and cold and Miring heat of the north and
east.
In the army pests of the north Canada does sat see a
menace. Troops alone any border can be of valuable service
in an emergency when neighbor nations have to unite as
they sometimes do in suppressing banditry or disorder of
any sort Fort BBss troops for example are no more of a
menace to Juarez than they are to El Paso no more of a
menace to Juarez than troops in Juarez are to El Paso. It is
a good idea to have troops near any large city.
El Paso' San Antonio Douglas and Nogaks are all
favorably situated with respect to transportation east or
west. The supply problem is or should be minimised by
the present arrangement while strategically these Border
pests are not surpassed by any. I

New Mexico University.
THE STATE university of New Mexico is asking the
X legislature for $250400 with which to construct a new
Hbrary and dormitories. That the school should nave tne
baOdings there can be no doubt. As a result of catting of
the preparatory department the university cow has only
about 400 students fiut as ur. run its presmenr points
oat it is a real university teaching the same subjects that
the Meier institutions of learning in ether states teach.
Moreover the faculty what there is of R is of jast as high?
a grade as other universities can boast ot.
In another year or two the present buildings and equip-
ment win not be able to take care of the enrolment anless'
aid is given by the legislature. No state can afford to
stunt or neglect its state university. If the high school
graduates of New Mexico can't find the advantages they
seek in education in their own state they will go to Arizona
to Texas to California esterase or eastern states. Hew
is the time to give the university the boost it seeds.
The university of Texas is an example of the felly of
neglecting the needs of sach institutions. Here shacks have
