"Miss Hortcnse Nielsen in the audi-
torium today unintentionally, no doubt,
left the impression upon her audience
that the Drama league was a creation by
and for the lovely sex alone. Prof.
Brewer said. "No more mistaken idea
could be advanced.
"One of the purposes of the league
is to encourage the production and the
presentation of plays that will appeal
to a masculine as well as to a femine
audience. The feeble stuff so often pre-
pared for matinee audiences is not re-
commended by the Drama league.
"In order to produce plays that real
men will like, men must be studied and
consulted. Men have always been urged
to join the league and to ass st in its en-
terprises.
"At present men are admitted oil the
same terms as women. No distinction
