NEW YORK,

NEW YORK.
The summer theater, like Topsy,
has "growed up" With current pres
entation of plays and players in ap-
proximately 125 legitimate play
houses Yin the rural byways along
the Atlantic Coast, it is a meritori-
Gus and moneyed experience.
A new survey today revealed 26
summer playhouses operating in
New York, Is in Massachusetts,, 10
in Connecticut, 10 in New Jersey, 7
In Maine, in New Hampshire, 3 in
Virginia and / in North Carolina.
The latter is the famed Waterside
Theater of Roanoke Island, N. c..
where Paul Green's historical
drama-pageant, THE Lost Colony"
has been playing for summer after
summer to increasing crowds.
1t is estimated that there are ap-
proximately Is or 80 theaters on the
Eastern seaboard not included in
the above figure. Of the 125 play
houses which started the summer
season, only six have reported as
closing because of lack of business.
In contrast, many are reporting
larger and more constant audiences.
Where the summer theater of
few years ago was, in many cases, a
reconverted barn, the straw-hat
stages frequently are housed today
in large theaters as luxurious as
many playhouses on Broadway. The
change was brought about when
high-salaried Broadway and Holly
wood stars began playing the sum-
mer theaters. Tallulah Bankhead,
; for instance, gets 5000 a week in
the summer playhouse, and pro-
ducer has to have a large theater to
get In audiences large enough to
pay the stars.
Cape Playhouse Typical.
Smaller playhouSes which can't
afford the name stars make up for
this by getting talented youngsters
who will rehearse tirelessly and take
direction endlessly. These young
sters never are allowed to forget
that summer theater performances
won Broadway and Hollywood star
dom for Margaret SULLIVAN and
other stage beginners.
Typical of the most successful oil
summer theaters is the Cape Play
house at Dennis, Cape Cod, Mass.
