THE STAGE OF THE FUTURE
An Interview With Arthur Hopkins

"But that doesn't mean that sim
pliiication was merely passing phase,
fad. On the other hand, so far 1T
has been merely beginning. 1t will
go on, in all parts of the theatre. Set
tings will be further simplified, not
only pictorially, but the elaboration OF
structure involved in the settings of
to-day will give way to a simplicity so
radical that settings will be used inter
changeably in many plays with but
little alteration. There is no reason
in the world why play should demand
such costliness of presentation that it
should be beyond the reach of small
groups of people who are interested
unprofessionally in the drama. Besides,
the great cost of settings has implied
lack of unity somewhere in the the
stre; an overbalancing of one feature
to the neglect of others. Even in the
motion picture I am simplifying set
tings. In our productions of The
Eternal Magdalene' we have used a
simple velvet curtain as a background
for much of the action. And, of course,
a change in setting implies as well
change in the architecture of the the
atre itself"
That brought the conversation to the
play.
"The day of the story telling drama
is passing. 1t won't pass entirely.
There will always be a certain group
Of the public that is sufficiently ele-
mentary to respond to a definite appeal
of fixed idea. Right now, of course.
you've got the theatre in the habit Of
making that appeal specifically, aiming
at any number of completes in the
minds Of audiences, the mother COM
plex, even the Gdipus complex"
1t was a shame to interrupt such a
beautifully Freudan discourse. But
the interviewer maliciously could not
resist mentioning "The Eternal Mag
dalene." Mr. Hopkins smiled and went
on:
"What Of Turn to the Right the
play Of the long run? You can pick out
any number Of them-plays aimed at
fixed ideas, in which the idea steals up
behind the auditor and gets him be-
fore he knows it. But there's going
to be a change, with the play that
people like passing into the great be-
yond. One thing that makes it posi-
bic is the development of group Of
people who are interested in something
more than the story. So the future
may see a drama in which there is
very little form, the present mechan-
icsl structure gone. As q matter of
fact, nobody really knows what the
theatre ought to be like, although some
people now think they do. What that
means is that everything outside that
present formula is lost to the public,
eliminated by the limit Of a type. The
play of the future will be something
like Gorky's 'Nachtssyl,' perhaps. But

BY RALPH J. BLOCK

A GOOD many people like to talk
"A about the future Of the theatre
It's easy TO do, for one thing: One or
two pages of Gordon Craig, a peep
here and there at Urban or Jones and
the tricks done. OF course, nobody
ever takes any Of II seriously-unless
it's down in Greenwich-because most
of the people who do the talking haven't
anything to do with the theatre. It's
diiieult at any time to get away to
something new unless you know first
what you're trying TO leave behind you.
And possibly that demands explanation
Arthur Hopkins has some ideas about
the future Of the theatre, too. And
although Mr.. Hopkins is a producer
both Of drama and motion pictures, the
practical history Of his life in the
theatre has not decreased his power TO
say startling things. For instance:
Settings will become more and
more simplifed, so simple indeed
that with little change they may be
used INTERCHANGEABLE for large
repertory.
The theatre of the future, mechan-
ieally, will be the result Of revolu-
tion in theatre building, play. con.
struction, acting and the reception OF
the drama by audiences. IL will be
an entirely new kind OF building.
The tendency in writing plays is
to make them more and more form
less. The time will come when the
established mechanism of exposition,
rising action and climax will be
thrown aside for one in which the
structure is hidden and much less
formal.
There was provocation for this, Of
coarse. II would not be fair to infer
tAsA the interviewed suddenly declared
out cause his belief in a theatrical
lev olution. It was, on the other hand,
a mild and contemplstive Mr.. Hopkins
who accepted the theme that was hand
ed to him, and who, after some hesita-
ton and thought, gave out his views
On a subject in which apparently he
has q deep interest
"What people like to call tho new
art of the theatre started out in its
obscure beginnings to stimulate and
develop the life Of the theatre itself"
began Mr. Hopkins. But the new art
soon defeated its own purpose. From
aiming TO be an integral part OF the
theatre it became much more than that.
S!mplifcstion in setting entirely rear
ranged the theatres scheme Of values,
and instead of being merely back
ground TO the play and the acting of it,
il stood away out in front and HID
everything behind II. It's possible that

gone through. At any rate, the time
has come when simplihestion is begin

PEARSON
AND HER TALENTS
By HARRIETTE UNDERHILL

II IS indeed the height of efficiency
l. when you can persuade some one
else to do your work for you, particu-
larly if you are sufficiently efficient to
select some one who can do it much
better than you can. Detailed to in
terview Virginia Pearson. we found
that she not only was willing TO write
the story for US, but that she was quite
able to do so. II happened like this:
Virginia Pearson is a gorgeous beauty;
so much so, indeed, that she would be
forgiven If she didn't have any brains.
So it was something of a surprise when
she informed US that she had that day
sent out four stories to four different
magazines, adding: "Pm rather tired,
but il tomorrow will do I'll write the
story for you" Tomorrow would do,
