Freight Conditions
Interfere With the
Port111QnteQu Plans

when is Stuart Walker going to put
on Portmanteau plays?" is a question
which has been asked many times this
year. And Mr.. Walker himself was
numbered among the inquirers until he
found out the answer was: "Not this
spring" Fate, in the guise Of freight
conditions, intervenes. The Portman-
teau Theatre setting is still tied up in
Chicago-the scenery and costumes for
all the Portmanteau plays presented in
New York year ago, as well as three
new productions which were built in
Chicago in the fall. SO the New York
spring season of Portmanteau repertory
which was announced several months
ago waits upon an empty freight car
The company is here and the plays re-
hearsed.
"But we cannot do Portmanteau
plays without scenery and costumes.
Though they do not require much, they
must have some," explained Mr..
Walker, who was much perturbed by a
rumor that he had abandoned his Port
manteau Theatre.
"The only reason that we are not now
presenting Portmanteau plays is that
we can't. Both my company and N.Y.
self delight in the Lord Dunsany plays
and others that make up the Port
manteau repertory. We added three
most interesting ones, Gale Young
Rice's "A Night in Avignon,' Thomas
j. Kelly's The Son of Isis and a PAN
tomime by Maxwell Parry called
'Stingy,' which we are most anxious to
show in New York. flow this rumor
started that l considered nv blessed
Portmanteau a fad cannot say. But
| hasten to deny it, have always said
the first ideal Of the theatre was to
make money, for money represents
audiences, and audiences are what we
play for and to. have always said
that did not believe in the uplift
movement in the theatre and that the
Portmanteau was not designed to up
INT anybody anywhere. The Port
manteau Theatre was designed to en-
tertaln. 1t was not fad, for it was
founded on something much older than
any movement in the theatre. That
there were people who wanted the
Portmanteau and who enjoyed it is
proved by the fact that the Port
manteau made money and is wanted
again."

Business Before Pleasure" brings
Potash and Perlmutter to us again.
The best of the Potash and Perlmutter
shows-and We think it was the second
was much more than lowbrow en-
tertainment. 1t did not depend on
mere local witticisms. Much of it's
humor was rooted in careful obserya-
ton of life, and the types which Mon
tague Glass and his coworkers created
were also characters. The plays had
enough truth in them to make their
humorous appeal wide. One of the
Potash and Perlmutter shows pros
pered greatly in Paris, even though the
Germans were shooting at it with the
big gun. Montague Glaass's characters
could stand the test of being under ire
because they had flesh and blood and
hearts and things which constitute real
people. The present show is exceed
ingly amusing, but it is not by any
means as good piece of work as it's
predecessors. 1t is more fantastic. The
humor arises less from what Potash
and Perlmutter are than from the Gu
rious situations into which they are led
by the moving picture business. They
say more funny things than ever be-
lore, but they are much more conscious
OF being amusing. A sense of effort is
not absent. The spectator won't realize
this to any great extent, however, until
ne has done laughing and begun to
think it over. Moreover, an exceed
ingly attractive new character has been
added to the set of Potash and Perl
mutter. We mean the Vampire, very
ably and charmingly played by Clara
Joel.

formances in what we may call for con-
venience the commercial theatre than
he did after his wellnigh fiawless work
in "Bushido." Josephine Meyer set a
mark in "The Clod" which was not
reached when the little play was taken
into vaudeville. Eleanor Cox was an
other who showed that good acting was
not foreign to the Players. AS good an
actress as Margaret Anglin found the
performance of Miss Cox in "Trifles"
among the best of the season. Arthur
Hohl was to have played under Belas-
co.'s management next season if the war
had not interfered. Then there were
some irresistible bits of burlesque by
Helen Westley and several good per-
formances by Frank Conroy. Elizabeth
Patterson, Florence Enright, Marjorie
Vonnegut and Robert Strange were
others who at times did work above the
average.
1t is true that there was certain
pose about the Players. They were
pretty severe about marriage, family
life, morals and all that. After all, a
little bit of gesture among the young
and enthusiastic is not to be deplored.
even If it takes the form of thumbing
the nose at the world.
The Washington Square Players had
a lot of fun and did much good work,
and so it seems to us that they did not
fall in any very important sense of the
word. ri r
