Pollock Sees Revolution
Within American Theate1
(By Dispatch A. p. yg,rsi


NEW YORK, Feb 2O.-Attacking
sex plays ano revues in which mud
ity and vulgarity are featured, Chan
ming Pollock, the playwright, fore
fcasts a revolution within the Ameri-
Ican theater during the next five years
! which will result in "real drama"
coming to the forefront.
| The revolution" had it's inception
with the Little jGheater movement
throughout the country and the or
ganization of the theater guild her,
Pollock said He expects it will be
carried on by them and the universi-
ties, women's clubs, churches and
dramatists of the nation.
with the passing of Augustin DAILY
/ and Charles Frohman, the theater
lost large attendance of people who
wanted the best in art, because a new
group of producers with different
viewpoints, succeeded Them" he as
serted. "The latter took the position
when there was no demand for real
! drama.
Then came the theater guild and
proved that there was an audience
F; for the best plays-that the theater
should and could be condueted as IN
art. Until then it virtually was i'm
possible to get a play on Broadway
unless it suited the purposes of the
/ producers.
Now our churches are becoming
interested in the theater as evidenced
| by the movement of the federal coun-
Gil of churches to recommend the sup
port of the best types of plays. Wom-
ems clubs are helping. Our uni
versities are developing dramatists.
{ '"The Little Theater movement is
very similar to the guild. Certainly,
/ from these sources will come intelli-
! gent producers and managers, who
unlike many of the present, will recog
nize and select real drama for our
STAGE
/ Pollock still would like to see his
F.; plan Tor the dollar theater," in
which no seat would sell for more
than dollar, carried out. He would
present the best plays in the New
! York house and send them on tour to
| similar theaters in other cities.
| "This would rehabilitate the road
show business, which has been ruin
ed by the trash and rot fostered upon
the cities by our producers" Pollock
said. 1T also would enable us to
give short runs of the plays in each
city and employ our actors by the
year,
The playwright, whose "The Fool"
is playing in 29 countries and whose
"The Enemy" also will be sent abroad
this fall, does not expect the "revolu-
tion" to be carried out suddenly, but
he believes that at the end of five
years America will be represented by
an artistic theater, with real drama.

The Cadillac officials believe that
a larger proportion of owners are
buying cars in the quality class every
year. Cross country touring and the
larger use of motor cars for interur-
ban travel and for reaching distan,
points is, in their opinion, one of the
factors in the new demand for cars
which will travel long distances with

Natives Of Tahiti Carry
Ailments To New Healer
NV nisnnrcn P. wirel

PAPEETE, Tahiti, Feb. 1S.-When
old Turai, greatest of native healers
of Tahiti, died seven years ago, he
left a prediction that after him
would arise a healer who would be
his superior. Now the native popu-
lace is flocking to Turai's successor.
Tales of the Miracle Mans" mar
velous cures are in circulation and al
though the natives Of Tahiti are civ
ilized and ordinarily highly sophisti-
cated, they are abandoning European
physicians and transferring their faith
to the new healer Hundreds are
taking their ailments to him daily.
No claimant of curative powers
had the reputation or commanded the
faith of the natives in manner
equalling Turai. But his prophecy Of
a successor is now aiding the man
enjoying popular acclaim.

Hudson Essex is packing its new

So confident is the Hudson organi-

quotation of actual delivered prices
to the buyer-that it has stepped IT'S
volume up to 1900 six cylinder cars
a day. This is to be increased at
once to 1900 daily, and then to high

O'Neil, which never before has been
even approached in the six cylinder
field.
I'm the week since our announce

declares O'Neil, "the motoring public
has told us in no uncertain terms
that it is for us. The buyers ap-
preciate that they can read one of
our quoted prices and know that it
is the actual price they will have
to pay for a car delivered at their

ness have often predicted this inn

"We consider this move in the light
of modern business practice. 1t is
in line with the manner in which all
other merchandise is sold. One-price-
to-all and that price plainly stated
are the very basic factors in modern
business. The automobile business
has been almost the only exception
to this rule.
