EDITORIAL ROOMS Dear Mr. MacKaye1:

We have read your article on "The Civic Functions Of The Theatre" with great interest but, as I feared, Mr. McClure4 does not intend to use anything more upon the theatre for some time, especially since we are to publish a play or two serially in the near future.

I wish to thank you for your kindness in sending the article in and for my personal enjoyment of it.

Very sincerely yours, Willa Sibert Cather Mr. Percy MacKaye, Windsor5, Vermont.
