We Resolved,
However, to Try

Had we not made the attempt we
would not have accomplished
what is here, though in all these
years we have been between the
hammer and the anvil in forging
out and shaping and reshaping
what existed only in the mind as
an outline and is now shaped to
be seen with the naked eye.
We now realize that the best
workman is made best by work.
ing, and we believe that practice
makes-if not perfect-something
closely approaching perfection,
and for the latter we shall always
struggle.
We greatly hope that what we
have done through this Store and
what we still hope to do will be
an honor to our great city.

showed postal clerk hauled up for
examination on charges in the room of

British general postoffce. The set

deep. At each end was door set in
square walls. The wall between was

ton was a brown-toned map. Three
chairs and one desk. And some actors.

of the baroque LA Tosca" On the
basis of simplificatiop the artist can
build up by suggestion q host of eff
fects that crude and elaborate repro
duction would only thrust between the
audience and the actor and the play.
The artist can suggest either the nat
urallstlc or the abstract, either reality
or an idea and an emotion.
Finally, the quality above all in
modern stage production is synthesis.
For modern stage art, in spite of all
the easel artists who may care to prac-
tice the painting of scenery, is q COM

lights, actors and play There must be

it. And there must be such consist
ency among them all. Half the por-
trait, half the landscape, cannot be in
Whistler's technique and the other
half in Zuloagas. The creation of a
mood expressive of the play is, after
all, the final purpose in production.

For synthesis, there was not only
the consistency Of this gray and
black duotone and its restrained light
ing. There was the handling of fur
niture and people-the stage direc-
ton. The desk and chairs were pre-
cisely and formally square with the
square walls. The people entered
from the end doors, moved squarely
and formally up to each other, face to
face, precise. 1t was machine, the
machine of government property.

1t was all because the particular

we're on strike and we missed the
$40 Seventh Avenue car and had to
wait for the $3.50.
So when we entered the Selwyn
Theatre it was all dark, and Johnny
Ford was shopping around on the
stage with dark lantern, pretending
that he was burglar.
1t didn't take us long the catch up
on the plot, however. No, we don't
mean thatl There is plenty of plot,
but we knew all about it because we
had seen "Sevcn Days" when it was
in its first lap, and Florence Reed had
played the drunken lady" who in
sisted on telling about her mothers
sisters cat named Selma.
Seeing "Tumb1e In" was not en-

ga M1shka came out and our mind was
made up. We just had to find out
whether she changed her costume in
side the big kettle or whether she
crawled through the bottom and
dressed and then crawlcd back again.
And we never found out because she
is the busiest person in the show. She
is always rushing away to stamp madly
with her number / ballet slippers on
the resin board before she leaps on
one toe in the centre Of the stage. and
then she takes three more leaps into
the dressing room to change her cos

be able to hold his imagination from
working on 1t.
1t is mistake, therefore, to call Mr..
skinner a romantic actor. He takes
to romance perhaps as road that goes
his way. But his method is the method
of imagination everywhere, seeing past
the mode and the established formula.
There is something godlike about the
human imagination. That is why at its
best it refuses to initiate human
beings; it wants to create them.
