Just now English's hasn't single
definite ''road" booking, although
Ethel Barrymore in 'The Love
Duel" which we had last season,
and William Hodge in 1.-THE Old
Rascale" are booked for one night
stands in several Indiana cities.
Grace George in 1.-THE Second
Mrs. Frasier" has been Cancelled,
although the producer hopes to get
us the show some time in April.
Mrs. FiSke in Becky Sharpe" and
Ladies Of the Jury" Is going to
play several Indiana cities.
I have before me a copy Of an
article written by Bernard Sobel
of New York especially for The
Quill and sent to me by its edi-
tor, Frank G. Payne, with permits
sion to use as I see fit.
This article gives me some hope
for the legitimate future Of the
road"
Sobel writes Nothing has started
more talk and faith in the posi-
bilities of restoring the road than
Miss Billie Burke's announcement
that she wishes to go out and play
the one night stands again, for
months if necessary, same as Ethel
Barrymore, Mrs. Fiske, Jane Cowl,
Grace George and other are pre-
pairing to do"
Sobel in The Quill continues:
sMy heart was sad" she said, when
went through New Orleans last spring
and saw the dear old Tulane thester,
where I used to play each season, dark
and looking deserted.
con my way to Hollywood we found
no legitimate theater open until reach
ing California. Why. it seems we used
to play every city in Texas and can
not believe the great public in the south
and West is not still there and ready
to welcome the better companies and the
many hits managers have to offer.
"I certainly admire Ethel Barrymore's
decision to tour those states where thea
tergoers always showed they loved the
stage and where, for one, never had any
cause for complaint.
Formerly I derived so much pleas
ure from my tours and from the wonder
full receptions-the sold out theaters and
the appreciative young people from classic
schools and colleges who packed our
matinees-that feel something has gone
out Of my life that an artist really needs
to keep one up to their best.
'I shall always remember my last tour
in Jerry after q season at the Lyceum
in New York. That year the managers
fixed up rest rooms for children to &C
commodate matinee patrons who couldn't
leave the little ones at home. Sometimes
we had dozens Of children back stage,
all eager eyed and adniring, snd what
fun it was when the maids brought sheni
to the dressing room, to see their happy
faces and hear their talk and laughter.
Eyes. something is wrong when we md
such changed conditions in the theater
on the road today. I shall never believe
it is the fault Of the stars that scores Of
the larger cities are getting SO few at
fractions
Miss Burke says it has been arranged
for her co-star, Ivor Novello. and her
present company to continue when 'aThe
