It succeeded so well that by the Spring of 1925 it had built its own theater, and now is in possession and occupancy of a second house, that built and named for John Golden as a place for his own ventures as a producer. But the Theater Guild Iras confined its activities to New York. If its successes were wanted in other cities, it was ready To do business; but it did not care to be bothered by any of the problems imposed bytouring «ts successes in the theatres owned and operated o'hers. But the heads of the Theater Guild have made a conyprom’.se in the case 1 of two of its current successes, "Ned . McCobb’s Daughter” and "The SilverCord,” both by Sidney Howard. Mr. I Howard has a high belief in John i Cromwell’s talent as an actor. Mr. Cromwell, on the othei - ' hand, has preferred in recent years the fascina-I tions and the rewards of staging plays to acting in them. When, how- ! ever, he was engaged to stage one of ,Mr. Howard's "Lucky Sam McCarver,” Mr. Howard insisted that he I play the title-role. Mr. Cromwell did so, and with such success that he' again, after a lapse of years, came into hi gh demand as an actor. And, by special arrangement., Mr. Cromwell is acting outside of New York one of the Guild's successes current there, "Ned McCobb’s Daughter.” in which he and Miss Florence, Johns wilt be seen Saturday night ' only, Feb. 19, in the Shrine Auditorium. Fort Wayne. Mr Cromwell, by thy way, staged Mr. Howard's other current play for the Theater Guild, ‘.The Silver Cord.”,' Itx |
