Theater Failed.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON. FEBRUARY 26.-Norman
McDermotts abandonment of the man.
agement of Everyman Theater with
the announcement that there Is no
public for intellectual plays in Lon
don has stirred many managers and
producers to defense of the public.
Miss Sybil Arundale believes tho
Everyman Theater was too small, and
that In her opinion q serious theater
must have seats for at least 700 per-
sons and sell many of these seats at
such a low rate that persons Of in
telligence who have been impover-
ished by the war can afford to attend.
Frederick Harrison of the Haymar.
ket Theater thinks there is room for
serious as we'll as for light plays. He
points to saint Joan" and "The Man
With a Load of Mischief" both OF
them serious plays. as conspicuous
successes. He attributes the failure
of Everyman Theater, which is in
hampstead. largely to it's great dis
lance from the West End, where the
patrons of serious plays live for the
most part
Philip Ridgeway OF Barnes Theater
also arises TO the defense of the Eng
lish theater- going public and says it
does not want frivolous plays all the
time.
Lewis T. Casson. husband of Sybil
Thorndyke. says II think the great
aJority Of people prefer not to use
their intellects in the theater. but the
one certain thing about the theater Is
that everything depends on how a
play gets started. If it starts off with
bang 1t will go. If it doesn't get a
good start 1t is impossible nowadays
to nurse 1t into success"
Anthony Prinsep of the Globe The
alter. says Henry the Eighth" and
Dolls House" are doing tremendous
business in London at the present mo-
ment, thus showing that serious plays
do succeed IL they are presented In a
manner which appeals to the public.
