UTHE King is dead! Long
live the King!" Well, that
does for the year as well
as for the sovereign.
There are very few sovereigns left
in these days of turbulent democ-
racy. For reasons of state, per-
hapS, it is just as well to forget
the dead monarch and to get busy
with the new year. The fading
hours of 1880 brought to the
resurgent theater a really de-
lightful comedy, Bird in the
Hand" John Drinkwater'S first
endeavor, we are told, in the
lighter side of life. It breatheS
the spirit of Old England and its
conservatism, and yet it has a
touch of the modern to prove that
"the sun do move" So faSci-
mating was it that happily an
arrangement was effected where
by it might linger beyond the
time usually allotted to a play
during the Christmas season.
Following closely upon its heels
came the David Belasco produc-
ton, 'It's a Wise Child" equally
delightful, but with a dash of
modern sophistication tempered
10 the taste of the bon vivant by
the skilled touch of the master.
While the Straight-and-narrow
viewpoint may or may not find in
this latest contribution that for
which the producer should be
slapped, it was observed that
goodly audiences found in it
many moments of laughter and
of seeming pleasure. Further
more, its patronage increased as
the days wore on. Two new plays
just beyond the tip of our noses
give promise of a further joyous
new year in the local theater,
while just beyond other delectable
surprises seem to be croWding the
horn of plenty that will pour out
our entertainment while the
Winter months hang heavily over
our heads.
**.*&
AS a matter of fact, the world
takes its theater pretty much
as it comes. If it likes it, it pat
roniZeS it; if not, it stays away.
Only the few who give serious
thought to matters mundane ap-
pear, as rule, to get wrought up
over scandal in the playhouse.
When it comes there is a hustle
and buzz of whispered CONVEX
sation mingled with speculation as
TO what may happen next, but with
never a thought of what harm it
may deal to our current culture.
After the first flare of sensation
1t is regarded as so much garbage
to be hauled away and fittingly
disposed of. Generally the car
rion attainS that status and is
buried in oblivion by the patron
who does not temper his theater
shopping with discretion. 1t is
much with the theater as
with other institutions. Calamity
may threaten, newspapers may
flare their banner headlines and
folks who have the time may stir
themselves into a sizzling stew,
, when, just as suddenly, the COM
motion will simmer down and die
out, and the world is ready for a
new sensation. It's argument
seems to be that things have
never gone to smash before, so
why should they now? The man
ager, mindful only of his box
office receipts, plies his trade with
! the wares that find ready pur-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-01-04

perhaps not as far or as high as
the best Of us might wish. How
ever, with due consideration Of
our needs and of the graceS
which await our acceptance, let
us hope that the New Year, with
all its joys and prosperity, may do
something for our theater. It
needs much.
