PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1016
For TcrcentcnnlaHsts
TKRCBNTENNIALS nrc good times for thought ns well as scntlmchtnt
enthusiasm. In the fnee of our great to-do over "community masques' and
commemorative festivals," ono of America's most keenly impressionable,
responsive and yel practical critics, Mr. H. T. Parker, of the Boston Transcript,
has pointed out that Shakespeare was, after nil and before all, A man of tho
theatre, and that tho theatre is tho place to celebrate him.
"The way to 'pay homage' to Shakespeare," writes Mr. Parker, "is not
to he vastly and temporarily-p-excited about him throughout three months
of 1016 but to seek: his plays in the theatre (leaving money at the door) whon
ovcr opportunity offers."
Trua Words and good words, but sad words, too. For whore is the play
goer to find the door at which money will buy admittance to the faerie and
romance that is Shakespeare?
Good Advice for New York
In New York, yes. For New York hn3 its local theatres. It mis play
houses that can cater to a special audience, which may care for n bit of
sublime music now and then between its Broadway jokes and thrills, and' it
has citizens that devote their money nnd energy to local theatrical ven
tures. Tho result has been a "Midsummer Night's Dream" from Granville
Barker's repertory season at Wallack's last spring; Sir Herbert Tree's "Henry
VIII." and "The Merchant of Venice," guaranteed, it is said, by tho same nn
who backed Barker; James K. Hackctt's "Macbeth" nnd "The Merry WlvcS of
Windsor"; a genuinely Elizabethan production of "The Taming of the SHrcw"
from New York's most distinguished albeit Teutonic playhouse, tho Irving
Place, nnd "The Tempest," produced at tho Century Thcntrc, with professional
actors hired by tho Drnna Society.
Bad for the Road
But no regular, genuine Broadway production, no long-run gamble on the
Bard's abilities as a tncatricnl best seller; not even a fortnight or so of Shake
spearean repertory from Robert Mantell or Mr. Sothcrn nnd Miss Marlowe.
And so, of course, no Shnkcspcare on tho road.
Barring nmatcur pioductions and precious few of them Philadelphia
hns eelcbrnted the great man's tercentenary year with a nenson absolutely
devoid of Shakespeare. The situation was so obviously desperate that poor
Mr. Sothern who had deserted the Hard for "The Two Virtues"; felt con
strained to inject almost nil his past Shakcspcnrcn impersonations intorjthc
hero of that comedy.
Keeping Shakespeare Alive
It's nobody's fault least of nil tho managers'. The simple fact of the
matter is that it's nothing short of preposterous to expect long runs and
country-wide tours from "Hamlet," "Macbeth," "Lear," "Twelfth Night" or
"Tho Tempest" Why should Broadway be expected to bestow on Shn'ccsprarc,
season in and season out, the favor that it shows "Peg o' My H'art" or "Com
mon Clay"? Why should wo of Philadclphin devote two solid wcrk3 of theatre
going chosen haphazard by the fates of the booking office to tho enjoyment
of dramatic poetry? The man who has a taste for Shakespeare can't tell
when that taste is going to asscit itself. He may crave "Hamlet" once a
month or "Twelfth Night" once a week. He isn't going to want them every
day or all of a sudden, for n fortnight on end, in the middle of January. And,
obviously, there is only one sort of theatre that can cater to his needs, that
can keep the classics alive with a little stimulus every two or three weeks
the repertory theatre.
What It Means to Sup
port a Star Like
Courtenay
E. Q, Robinson la n young nctor v.'.to
has been on the stage but three jcars, jet
at present he Is urcumlly prominent In the
support of William Courtenay In "Undsr
Fire." Rol Cooper Mcsrue'a now play of
the present European conflict, which Sel
wyn & Co will present nt tho Forrest Then
Jtre beginning March 1. In fact, to quote
VMr. Courtenay, "he. Is tho best support,
figuratively and literally, that I haie ever
. Vad."
In tho scene In tho British trenche3. al
ready tho talk of tho town because of Its
spectacular destruction by a bomb from
a German aeroplane, Mr Robinson plays
nn English sergeant. When tho explosion
comes he la standing near thu field tele
phone which communicates with tho Brit
ish headquarters As the walls of the
trench crash to tho ground he docs a
remarkable spinning fall, which lands him
supine1 alongside of, the Instrument. To
3a vo Paris from the oncoming Germans
It la necessary for Mr. Courtenny, as Cap-
tain Redmond, to warn the British gen-
erals of tho German moe oar tho wire.
Summoning all his strength, he drags him-
sett across tho stago to Mr. Robinson, for
in the. darluiess It 13 Impossible for him to
soo tho telephone box.
Just at this point tho Injuries ho has
receHcd In the explosion again get the
best of hl'ii. and ho drou3 always across
thtt p.it.tnt Roblrsin. Supported by him,
the star plays thu thrilling telephone
scene. wjilo'i Is tho phota! point In tho
action o" tho melodrama. Somstlmas he
plaa it altting on Rob'nson'a head; again
It Is atop his chest, or on his hip In
dtcl jll "Pndfir I'lrc" opened, he haa
struck, t ie ra ne position only tw'ce.
"I couldn't play that scene without Rob
inson," 1'r Cjurte:.ay - the other night
as ho cai. is off. "He hjliU It up so beauti
fully "
