The Repertory
Idea Is Revived
By Jack O'Brian

NEW YORK.
Ever since 1898, when Eva Legal
lienne's Civic Repertory Theater
died in dignified but quite insolvent
fashion, repertory theater has
been considered something into
which even the brashest, richest
Broadway angel would refuse to
tread. Since Miss LIE Gallienne spent
some six years and considerable
fortune in the attempt to establish
a permanent repertory, the feeling
has been that repertory couldn't
possibly sustain itself.
After several years of studying
the situation deeply, three Of the
most successful ladies of the the
ater now are rushing In where
these timorous angels have refused
to enter. One of them, in fact, is
the same Miss lie Gallienne, who in
sists that the mistakes of the '20s
won't be repeated. The two others
are the celebrated Shakespearean
director, Margaret Webster, and the
exceedingly successful distaf pro-
'ducer, Cheryl Crawford.
These three are convinced their
Ipropect will pay. They know that
they can't possibly make as much
money with repertory as they are
earning in the more commercial
theater, but they believe that after
one year the returns will be suffl-
cient to permit a national expan-
sion.
Miss Crawford points out that the
present Broadway theater Is show
business, in capital letters, rather
than theater in its more cultural
vein, purely commercial venture
with long runs on Broadway, plus
movie sales, as the only standards
of success
"It is show business, it is for best
sellers only Miss Crawford says.

stimulating new plays not cut to a

WRONG INTERPRETATION PLACED
ON SUPREME COURT DECISION in
ISSUANCE OF BEVERAGE PERMITS


from Tallahassee about the
supreme courts decision.
That decision in no way deals
with the right or presumed right
of a city to limit the number of
liquor licenses, but, instead, was
based On an appeal from circu!t
court in Miami because E. w.
Scarboro, director of the state
beverage department, had refused
to grant liquor license TO an
applicant on the ground he had
not already obtained a city Ii
cense. The courts ruling merely
was to the effect that the state
beverage department could not
refuse issuing a license because
it had not heretofore been grant
ed by city.
The decision did say that
a judge. of the circuit court IN
Miami had ruled that a city ordi-
nance, limiting the number of
city. licenses, was invalid, but add
ed, significantly, that the decision
had not been appealed to the SUI
preme court.
That case, The Citizen was in
formed further, has been appeal
ed to the states highest court,
but no decision has yet been rem
dered. This later case is exactly
like that in Key West, but the
case on which a decision has been
handed down does not apply to
the local case.
