Greenwich Village Plans

The Greenwich Village Theatre, New
York's newest intimate playhouse, stu
ated at Fourth Street and Seventh Ave-
nue., which opened last Thursday night,
will continue its present bill of three
one-act plays for a period Of six weeks.
At the end Of that time new bill will
be presented. In accordance with the poll
icy of the new theatre, Director Frank
Conroy announces that, irrespective of
its financial success, a new production
will be made every six weeks. thus
giving to it's season subscribers the de-
sired change and variety. There will
be seven performances week, which
include Saturday matinee.
Another feature of the policy of the
Greenwich Village Theatre is that it
will not be limited TO the production
of one-act plays, as is the case with
most Of the new art theatres, but will
devote equal thought and interest to
long plays. In the selection of these,
as OF the short plays, no limitations
will be put upon nationality. While
the young American dramatist will nat
urally come in for preference, some
works of modern Europeans will also
be presented, as we'll as famous class

Staging "Chu Chin Chow"
An Improvement on the Revolving Stage and Two Idea,
From the Movies

turned on, and the shutters open 70
display the scene to the audience.
While this scene is being played on
the portable stage, scene shutters arr
husily engaged in preparing the big
stage for the next scene. At the same
time. workmen on the other portable
stage, still in the wings, are busy pre-.
pairing the scenery CT that small stage
for another front scene behind the
Moorish arch. The moment the small
scene is over the shutters close, the
portable stage is drawn by its electric
motors to the right or left Of the stage,
as the case may be. anything to get It
cut Of the way, and the big velvet cur.
tain again rises upon the elaborate
stage setting on grand scale.
This process is repeated thirteen
times during the three acts OF "Chu
Chin Chow" and the rapidly Of the
changes is astonishing. The changes
are really made with greater facility
than if the Manhattan had a revolving
stage.
There is anotherynew wrinkle back
OF the scenes at the Manhattan, a
series of canvas dressing rooms, like
tents, twenty of them in one OF the big
corners of the Manhattan stage where
the scenery is not stored. These dress.
ing rooms are used only during the last
act and are for the use Of the twenty
girls who appear as mannequns in the
bazaar scene. The dresses these girls
wear are, in many cases, almost eight
or nine feet in diameter. One girl
wears costume with a projecting
affair like a peacock's tail, which ex.
tends out twelve feet. The girls can.
not put on these costumes in their
dressing rooms for the reason that no
door is wide enough for the costumes
to be passed through when they are
worn. Neither can the girls 20 up
or down stairs. Therefore they have
to dress on the stage, and the ten.
porary canvas dressing rooms are
there to accommodate them.

A special ceremony that will dis
tinguish the opening of the Theatre
du Vieux Colombier, in West Thirey-
fifth Street, on the evening of Tues
day, November 81, will be the corona
ton of Moliere by characters repre-
senting the spirit Of comedy in all
ages. When due homage has been
rendered the greatest comic genius of
French drama, ". Copesu and his
company will discuss in a prologue
the spirit and aims of the new French
theatre after the manner of Moliere's
"LImpromptu de Versailles" which
5erved a similar purpose.
The play which will be presented is
Moliere's LES Fourberies de Scapin."
VI. Copeau will play the leading role.
This breezy farce was first given on
May "a, 1871, at the Palais Royal,
when Moliere himself took the chief
part. IL is not only Gallo, but COM
pletely Latin in spirit, the plot being
derived from Italian sources which
are traceable to an early comedy by
Terence.
The old Garrick has been complete
ly remodelled for the Theatre du
Vieux Colombier, and the stage en-
bodies several structural innovations,
corresponding TO Copeau's novel meth
DDS Of production. While his roper
toire for the coming season com
priscs n representative selection Of
modern French plays, he aims. also to
rejuvenate the classic tradition by
fresh and living presentation OF the
great works OF the past. In this en-

How Losing Eloise"
illustrates the Case

Putting over a farce is one Of the
hardest easy things that is done in
the theatre. The effect of ease, which
is so essential to the success of light
piece, is not attained by inspiration
alone. This was the reason why a
prominent manager was especially en-
thusiastic over the first performance
of Losing Eloise," the farce by Fred
Jackson which Selwyn e. Co. have put
on at the Harris Theatre, Referring
TO an accident which delayed the be-
ginning Of the second act, the manager
said:
"If that had occurred at the premier
of a play of any other type it would
not have mattered so much, but with a
farce the start is all-important. Once a
farce is we'll on its way it is so ridicu-
lousy easy to carry it through to the
wind-up that the audience is likely to
wonder on reflection that they enjoyed
themselves so much. 1t is like starting
a SNOWFALL on its course down hill.
Once it is off one has only to watch Il
as it goes faster and faster and grows
bigger and bigger.
From the moment that the curtain
goes up on a farce the company must
exert themselves in their playing to
the audience until the suspicious mo-
ment arrives when the relationship
changes and the company plays with
the audience. A great distinction Is
conveyed by that simple change Of
proposition. That is why Losing
Elose' astonished me By succeeding.
After the first act the company had 10
begin all over again.
Farce is like the little girl with the
curl-when it is good, it is very, very
good, but when it is bad, it is horrd.
When il is a success il is one OF the
smashing kind that makes the public
scramble for seats. 1t has fallen to the
lot of Selwyn g. Co. to produce three
of the most successful farces ever seen
in this country, Baby Nine Twin
Beds and Fair and Warmer, and de-
spite any and every other success
which they may have had, I'll guaran-
tee they will admit that their farces
have been the greatest of all.
THE humor of farce is the easiest
understood and best liked. Incidental
lv. it is one Of the oldest and mos.
popular forms of drama. You'll hnd
references to farces long before the
Christian era. And the reason Tor It's
ancient popularity, as we'll as for its
present favor with theatregoers, is be.
cause they are in on IT. all the timo.
That is. they are, if it is to be sue
cessful farce. That's why | said at the
beginning that it is the hardest easy
thing to do successfully. 1t is always
hard to induce people to forget them
selves and enter into game. 1t Is
disclosing no secret of the business TO
say that the producers of farce spend
thrice as much thine on the first
act as they do on the other two OF
three put together. And in that they
are wise"

Copeau's Players Will Honor Moliere

deavor he is guided by a desire for
spontaneity, naturalness and vivacity,
unhampered by those set traditions of
production which have frozen the old
err works into a rigid mould of aca-
