Show Theres There's Room for Them Both By HERBERT KAUFMAN WELL ELL the theatre hasn't gone to the bow wows after all Moving pictures didn't wreck the oral drama Broadway is ablaze with th the announcement of new plays and goodness knows how many more are waiting to get in A little competition turned out to be a very healthy thing for the insolent lords of entertainment It forced them to mind their Ps and Qs improve the general quality of productions and lend ear to some beneficent criticism Screen and stage each slave have their place and are both likely to remain in our midst ad infinitum A good show of any sort always stands a good show If the drama is ever killed no outside influence will witt be responsible the responsible the guilt will lie upon the consciences and pocketbooks of th the managers them them- selves Copyright 1916 by Herbert Kaufman Great Britain and all other rights reserved |
