Believes.

NEW YORK. February 6 P).-
Crosby Gaige, the producer, believes
there are too many thea:ers in New

good plays to fill them.
Nothing hurts the theater more
than a sorry production" he said.
People spend their money expecting
to see something good and the dis
appointment is so keen many stay
away for some time.
''If we could fill our SO theaters with
90 good plays it would be a wonder
full accomplishment. but the fact Is
we seldom have over a dozen good
productions IL season."
The producer believes the American
drama Is improving. however, and
that there are many present-day act
ors who rank with the stars of old.
