Little Theatre Returns to
the Land of Make Believe

BIZ WALTER d. HICKMAN
William o. Bates Of the Little The
atre Society of Indiana today made
an important statement concerning
a new policy to be followed this fall
ana winter
Mr.. Bates statement is as follows:
THE board Of directors of the Little
Theatre Society of Indiana has an
nounced a policy for the coming sea
SOIL. which in two vitality important
particulars. is a radical departure
from its previous practice. Briefly
stated, those departures are: % The
work of Indiana playwrights will be
given primary fostering, and t2) ad-
mission to performances will be linn
tied to members and their friends,
save for possible special performances
for the general public.
Seven years ago Lady Gregory and
later Hector Fuller, pointed out to
us that the only legitimate function
OF an Indiana theater is the produc-
ton of original Indiana plays by In
diana players. The announced pro-
gram of the founders was to this eff
feet But. as a matter of fact, while
3
force, relatively few Indiana plays
have been given and these only be-
cause their authors and friends fought
like tigers for the hearing. Max Par
rvs Dad one of the most brilliant
successes of the Little Theatre pro
auctions, only saw the light because
its author simply wouldn't be sup
pressed Max sleeps in France, but
he made no more gallant and persist
Cnt fight against the German planes
that downed him than he did to get
Dad done by the Little Theatre. In
the State centennial year a cycle Of
bits by Indiana novelists. effectively
Transcribed into dialogue form by Mrs.
Rabb, was given. Since then the pol
lev of the Little Theatre has wob-
bled, with an annual Indiana evening
as a sop to Cereberus, but, for the
most part, its offerings repeating the
successes of other little theaters. stage
classics and current hits from the
metropolitan stage.
Now. every theatre that has
achieved distinction, from the Theatre
Francois down through the Abbey to
the Washington Square Players and
the Provincetown, has done so by rea-
son Of producing original plays of it's
own selection. Wherefore, then, the
blood and sand?
THE whole trouble resides in the
presumption that the Little Theatre is
n competition with the commercial
stage in trying to provide its audiences
with entertainment of the conven-
-
sort called for by its charter. Such
a presumption is unjust to the com
mercial stage and 1 do not blame the
gentlemen in charge of the local ends

as vain as it Is presumptuous. The
