Community Playhouse Proposal Aims to Unite City
Miss Trazel MacKaye, rector of the Department of Paseinery and Dentun of the Patinaat, argues for a community playhouse to foster Americanization and cross cultural understanding through pageantry and drama. She envisions using a neighborhood center to stage plays reflecting life from multiple nationalities, aiding language learning and unity, while American students could present American-themed works for immigrants. The idea follows postwar drives showing people can work and play together, though critics question feasibility on the West Side.
