 El S ombrero The Drama of Life Wo are the aetors in life's immortal play Written by destiny, enacted by all, A separate act for each succeeding day Is played in earth’s eternal hall. The huge spotlight appeal’s in the East, Slowly the curtain begins to rise, The orchestras of man, bird, and beast (freet the opening with their cries. Each of us stands trained for a place As life’s great play is begun, Each of us his Critic must face When the drama of life is done. Cor in the audience there stands One Who is the Supreme Critic of all, Who decides when the play is done, And Who causes the curtain to fall. When He comes to judge the part portrayed, The decision rests not upon art. The inquiry is r.ot what part you have played, But how well you played your part. Minor parts and leads we may proclaim, But the one who surpasses all the rest, Is not he who strives for individual fame, But seeks to make life’s play the host. The dark haze of night begins to come, Homeward the actors wend their way. It may be the final curtain for some. While to others just another day. Whether life is a comedy or tragedy to you. Look not upon your part with sorrow, But rehearse and stand ready for your cue, For there is always the act of tomorrow. —Beverly Kenrwn. Twenty-nine
