Mr.. SayIor notes disintegra-
ton Of >"the road" "The pro-
fessional theater outside New
York" he continues consist
chiefly Of new productions still
on trial and Of three kinds Of es-
tablished successes-the huge
! revue, usually one of an annual
series; the intimate comedy with
a cast of three, four or five who
can travel in a Ford sedan in
an emergency; and those million
dollar twins, Blossom Time and
Abie's Irish Rose"
The astonishing run of Grain"
at the President Theater, with
Katherine Hayden and a super
latively good supporting cast
and the long-distance record set
here by Mr.. Sayler's million
dollar twins" demonstrates that
the plays the thing and that
competent casts are more to be
desired and supported than fea-
tured individuals; unless they
be Ulrics, or Arlisses or young
Barrymores.
With due Difference to Jeanne
Eagels and to Katherine Hayden.
the theatrical woods are full of
girls who could make Sadie
Thompson the live, rebellious
hussy she's intended to be.
Hazel Dawn, for instance, is one
/ have in mind. In the Follies
this week she has one bit that
proves to me she could make
Sadie Thomson all sorts of a
"damn bad baby"
None of the long-run per-
formances in Washinton depend
ed on names of individuals. For
the life of me l can't remember
the name of one player in
"Abie's Irish Rose" which ran
at the President for twelve
weeks.
Mr.. Sayler grounds his OBJ
servation of "the road" on con-
ditions that do exist" saw
the lengths to which this de-
moralization can go in Wash
ington where one of the Capt.
tabs leading theaters was given
over to a tenth rate motion pic
ture during inauguration week.
And on a train l heard how
Rochester, N. Y, a city that
used to turn out handsomely for
one or two or three nights, had
been compelled to fall back on
the activities of the University
dramatic department for it's
theatrical fare. 1t simply doesn't
pay any more to travel a few
hundred miles on a railroad I'M
less you can camp for a week at
your destination. l wonder
whether any of our amateur
statisticians have ever figured
