NEW YORK.

Conditions and incidents are
multiplying to invite serious ap-
prehension concerning the state
of the Broadway theater, present
and prospective. While reluctant
to darken a state of mind already
somber, it would be sheer dere-
LECTION of a reporters obligation
were the current situation ignored
or minimized.
This month finds but one play
headed for the metropolis. a COM
edy, and since it involves Helen
Hayes we may be more sure of its
arrival here than otherwise would
be the case. September sees pros
pect of two shows, thus placing q
heavy balance of responsibility
upon October-which, If the
agenda lives up to promise, will
find quite a number Of theaters
opening to new shows.
Only IS Being Readied.
But just how many there will
be then and later depends, of
course, upon the results of try
outs and, equally important, the
attitude of backers-which, of
late, has been characterized by a
dismaying lack of initiative. That
informed weekly. Show BUSH
ness, reports IS productions-60
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1949-08-07
By lawrence Perry

dramas and IS musicals-are pre-
pairing for Broadway. Just year
ago this time, 1872 offerings were
being "readied" for the 1889
season. That season. as in all
previous years, about Is per cent
of the prospects died a-borning,
or persisted in tryout cities. or got
no farther than the strawhat cir
cults.
If the same ratio of non-appear-
ance is maintained this coming
season, a record breaking low in
presentations covering certainly
more than decade will have been
established.
When you consider that. Of the
number of ventures which sue
ceeded last season in reaching
Broadway, only a small percentage
endured any length of time, the
possibility Of an unusual number
of dark playhouses between this
month and next May will immedi-
ately be recognized.
One Ray of Light.
However, let us examine the
source and cause Of at least one
ray of light illumining the present
outlook very much as in a black
and menacing cloud you may
discern a CLINT of silver lining.
To be specific, in the reduced
number Of offerings you find a
corollary Of a diminished grist of
poor plays. Backers. as already
pointed out, have become more
scrupulous about their invest
ments while, by the same token,
producers are less inclined to let
optimism govern their judgment
about plays submitted to them.
This, for one thing, offers a
bright hope that audiences will
not be called upon to endure so
many bad plays as in past sea-
sons; as, for that matter, last
season when out of more than so
productions-City Center. neigh
borhood and Off Broadway houses
and revivals not included-27 were
