RICKETY THEATER WINS
MRS. HOOVER'S PRAISE

NEW YORK (N.A.N.A).-Eva Le-
Gallienne. founder and director of the
Repertory Theater. across Fourteenth
street from the Salvation Army, Is re-
ceiving bouquets from the best people
while her gallery audience Is certainly
sitting pretty. MRS. Hoover, the Presi-
dents wife, chose to run down to this
rickety old theater while she was in
New York recently. and she not only
ignored other theaters, but sent a
highly complimentary note to Miss
LeGallienne. And a mogul of the stage,
who panned New York audiences as be-
ing unworthy even Of what they get,
made an exception Of her audiences,
and especially Of the gallery group
In her theater, says q university pro-
fessor. the art Of the drama still re-
mains vivid and deep, while Broadway
is engrossed with petty passions and
mean men. Broadway theaters are fire.
Quented by people who laugh in the
wrong places, he says, and are so Grass
that there is no incentive to cast pearls
before them.
"I hate society with all my heart"
said Miss LeGallienne one time, and
probably her dislike of the trivial has
had something to do with an enterprise
that had a sacriflcial quality In the be-
ginning. yet Is triumphant now.
Daughter of Richard LeGallienne, es-
sayist and poet, Eva was brought UP in
an atmosphere of art. She made her
stage debut in London at l6, but left
England, saying the English had mo
appreciation OF the theater."
