This is the earliest closing that
Berkell has ever had in this city
Although his acting company this
season has been superior on the
whole to his other seasons and the
work of his scenic artists has been
OF the high standard that is de-
handed of road shows, yet the box
office story has been sad.
Berkell lowered his price of his
highest seats in order to meet "the
friendly competition" of the takers
in the movie houses.
And yet this did not bring up
the gross to that figure which would
give him the needed security to
continue at loss in order to get
break later on in the season.
BerkelI met the request Of bring
ing back favorites of other seasons
by re-introducing Miss Mildred
Hastings and Robert st. Clair, two
OF the most popular players that
Berkell has brought to English's.
This did not bring the result that
was expected. That is no reflection
upon either Miss Hastings or St.
Clair.
I have been told by many stock
producers that the average life of
a stock company in a city is seven
years and that it is wise to take
vacation for a season or two and
then return. That may be true or
not.
But I have q different idea as to
the causes contributing to the clos
ing of so many stock companies all
over the country.
Nelson Trowbridge some weeks
ago called it q season for the stock
players at the Cox theater in Gin
cinnati, O.. and I was told by
member of the Stuart Walker COM
pany in Cincinnati that Walker
would soon close his company there
until fall Several Chicago stock
companies are announcing their
final weeks in the papers.
I believe that we have a different
attitude on part Of the public re-
garding summer stock. Nearly all
leading movie theaters over the
country have splendid cooling sys-
TENS and an elegance of comfort
that the legitimate houses can not
render in the summer.
1 sincerely believe that a legiti-
mate dramatic stock company
could and would make money in
Indianapolis during the winter
Stuart Walker could not make it
go to the financial success at Keiths
during the last summer he was here.
He did not return this summer.
I believe that Charles Berkell
