He talked on the "Folk Art of Pup- petry" and brought with him some "members of his cast." He said that. puppetry is neither new nor unique, and while a minor branch of the theatre, it has had a more vigorous and continuous history than other branches, In the dark ages the theatre came to an end but puppetry never suffered this retreat. In introducing "Mr. Punch" Mr. Conway classed him as the oldest character in history, and the only one with a classical history; and while the moralists have all tried to suppress him--they are dead, and he lives on. Varjous types of puppets men- tioned were the Oriental Shadow puppets made of luminous leather with punched-out designs through which a light shone, Japanese dolls and others. Mr, Conway said that Folk Tradition of Puppetry still exists, but in a very degenerate form. Puppets in the western world succumbed to the mechani- cal age; new tricks in. stringing and jointing had been invented, and while puppetry is essentially an invocative art, there is no stim- ulation in the common kind seen today. In the 18th and 19th centuries Voltaire, Haydn, George Sand and Anatole France had their own pri- vate puppet theatres. Puppetry was carried on mostly by the French people -- Paris being the great centre. Puppetry in England has never amounted to very much, being mostly a "side-show" act. In 1939 a new movement was started to revive puppetry, the aim being to combine the best of the old folk tradition with the best of the sophisticated tradition. This move- ment was retarded by the war, he added. Now Mr. Conway with his asso- ciates in Toronto is promoting a revival of puppetry in Canada, and while this is rather a difficult undertaking without a lot of money; publicity and rental of halls very costly, and the movies the major competition -- they are working hard at it, having plays written and producing them, and are looking forward to a return of this branch of the theatre of such proportion, that they will feel well repaid for their hard work and patience in the knowledge that they are contributing materially to Canadian Folk Art. The speaker was introduced by Mrs. W. G. Corben and Mrs. R. A, Wallace extended the appreciation of the members for a most inter- esting and' entertaining afternoon. Mrs. Johnson, convener of the Reading Group, announced that the group would meet at the home of Mrs. A. W.
