Portmanteau Theater Production.

something new under the sun" is the
unique achievement OF young stage
director in New York, who was asso-
ciated for the past six years with David
BelasCO as general stage director and
who has now devised his own theater,
with a stage so compact that it can be
packed up in crates and carried about
the country, and yet so effective to be
the despair Of the big playhouse owners.
It is called the Portmanteau Theater and
is going to be shown in Washington on
February 2 in the New willard ball
room.
Stuart Walker, its director and inven-
tor. believes that much of the youth and
happiness and a close intimacy between
players and spectators has been lost in
the usual stage presentations. For eN-
ample, he has no wall of separating
footlights. as his stage extends directly
into the audience. His curtain is half
way to the back Of mis- platform, and the
players do not necessarily enter from the
wings or the back OF the sceRe. Some OF
them come down through the spectators,
some of them from in front Of the cur
taln-and in one play some Of them are
seated in the audience. Mr.. Walker
wishes to carry his audience right into
the heart Of his productions, to make
them feel and act with the players. and
the enthusiasm OF those who have al
ready seen his performances would tend
to show that he has achieved this goal.
Programs of short plays are to be
given, which will show the versatility of
his company and the varied effects which
can be obtained from his quite unusual
system of lighting and colors
