By 1575 the courts had tired of the imitations of the ancient plays and discovered the Corn-media dell Arte. From then on, for a century and a half, the professional com media ns were the I favorites of all courts.

eau. Commedia dell Arte is the name given to the improvised performances of the 16th century professional actors and stage managers. It never existed as written drama or as spectacle it was a platform, actors, action. There literally was no i text of the play for the actors, 1 merely a scenario tacked up backstage. The player supplied the rest out of his own inventive-1 ness, wit and bag of tricks.

Pictured here is a scale model ef Commedia dell Arte, one of the 13 miniature theatres exhibited at the State Fair this year. This model, together with the others, is a visual evidence of the Federal Theatre Research bureaus extensive research into the history of famous theatres down through the ages. Construe v. rjkm of the miniature models was begun two years ago under the direction of Cyrilla P.
