ing the theatre. They are En- 10
Basshe, Francis Edwards Paragon,
who used to be the dramatic critic of
Pearson's magazine when Frank Har-
ris ran it, and whose play "Pinwheel"
is being done at the Neighborhood
Playhouse; John Dos Passos, who
wrote the finest anti-war novel in
America, and writes regularly in the
New Masses; John Howard Lawson,
and myself.
We are trying hard to give radi-
calls a theatre of their own in New
York. It's to be a hard-boiled thea
tire which is to get far away from
that silly and decadent thing called
art in bourgeois circles. We want
to write and produce plays for the
workers, who are the best audience.
We don't want bored dilletantes, or
the idle rich and patronizing. We
want our audience to have a good
time in the theatre and not to be
bored with all the fake problems of
the intelligentsia. We are going to
interpret modern America, as The
DAILY WORKER and the New
Masses interpret it, not as Vanity
Fair does, or the American Mercury.
The time is not yet ripe for a real
workers theatre like the Proletcult
in Moscow, but the New Playwright's
theatre is going to be the nearest
thing to it in America. That's all
one can promise just now.
If this theatre can be a bridge to
the real workers theatre that will
come when we have a mass revolu-
tionary movement in America, /, for
one, will be satisfied.
We are going to do our best to get
all the young talent we can. If there
are any Communist playwrights in
America, this theatre will be the first
to give them their chance, for next
season we are to put on eight more
plays by young writer's. Harbor Al
len is writing a play for us among
others, and Alfred Kreymbork and E.
E. Cummings. / can honestly say I
believe this theatre deserves the sup
port and attention of every radical.
There is so much of the fake, the
arty, the conservative and downright
trashy in the New York stage, that
this theatre, whatever it does, de-
serves support for it's intentions.
The theatre is located at Sind
street and 9Th avenue, and there will
be seats as low as SO cents. We are
gong to arrange some kind of dis
counts, perhaps, for trade union
groups.
