Excerpt from The Parish Theatre: A Brief Account of Its Rise, Its Present Condition, and Its Prospects, to Which Is Added, a Descriptive List of One Hundred Choice Plays Suitable for the Parish Theatre
With its antiquity and its persistence, in spite of ridicule, the amateur theatre deserves attention and study. Why has it been so persistent? With the professional theatre in every town, with the motion picture drama so universal and cheap, how does the amateur theatre continue to hold its own, to lose its moustachios and wigs, to have its guns kill the wrong man or miss fire, and to attract thousands to its ser vice? Because the human race loves to act, or loves the art of mimicry, just as much today as in the tme of Noah. It is a form of recreation, what the wits call an indoor sport, which some people like to perform and others like to see. It is irrepressible. For many profound reasons I am inclined to think it is provi dential.
