GAUL NOW SINGS A SONG IN “THE JESTS 'Madrigal of May/ by Maurice Nitke, Gives Leading Man ! of Stuart Walker Company His First Chance to Sing for a Long Time. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN WHEN George Gaul sings a song on the stage there is bound to be a lot of interest. An actor must be able to do about anything and well. This week in “The Jest” at Keith’s, George Gaul sings a love song to the. girl he loved in the play.

p Have been asked to find out the name of the song and I am informed by Donn Wermuth, Walker’s manager here, that the name of the song is “Madrigal of May” and it is the work of Maurice Nitke. The fact is that Gaul is doing this song in a beautiful fashion. I know my telephone has been busy telling people the name of the love

serenade. As you know Gaul has what I call a symphonic voice in his dramatic moments and even in his love scenes. There is natural music in Gaul’s speaking voice and it is not difficult for him to project a song. Stuart Walker, who opened a company at the Grand in Cincinnati Monday night, arrived here today. Walker issued the following statement through Donn Wermuth: “Some time about 1915 it began to show in the theater that things were not going just as they should in a big business way. Everybody who had ever seen a theater had some theory about the cause. More people suggested remedies without bothering about the cause. “I had my own ideas about the matter and they have not changed in the years that have followed. I felt that we were not developing actors who could act or playwrights who could write plays. “Actors were being “typed” and playwrights were usually writing plays like some current success. Actors were falling into long runs and even those with marked ability had no chance to develop. “It seemed to me that the only way to bring back freshness to acting was to have actors who could play many different parts and who would have the chance to do so. That means that I believed then, as now, that the only way we could have a vital theater was to play repertory and to make the company a local institution.

“The cities I chose for my activities were Cincinnati, where I tpceived my education, and Indianapolis, where the wise men of the theater said I could not do it. My company is now in its tenth season in Indianapolis. “The two companies have supplied a hundred leading actors to the New York and London stage in that time. But the difference between the fate of my company and other companies is that the actors who have a chance to grow here do not forsake us when they reach their finest powers. They come back season after season to work out here and to refresh themselves. “If my belief in repertory had not been correct, would so many of the

successful • actors of America have issued forth from my companies? At this very moment the two most talked of theatrical organizations in New York are definitely considered repertory companies. “But why should New York be allowed to monopolize Indianapolis’ actors at any season of the year? Why should Indianapolis not have its own home theater open the year around at prices within the reach of everyone, giving the best plays with the best actors available, and now and then trying the experiment of developing a playwright or two by giving chances to new plays? Such an organization can be very easily started here under the right plan. “Now we can see such fine actors as George Gaul, Gavin Gordon, McKay Morris, Elliot Nugent, Blanche Yurka, Peggy Wood, Muriel Kirkland, Marie Adels, Elizabeth Taylor and Elizabeth Patterson during the summer months. These are the same actors who play leads in New York at top prices. Why doesn’t Indianapolis have them for its own most of the year, letting them go away when they cannot be used here? Why doesn’t Indianapolis take its opportunity of becoming the first American city outside of New York to establish a big repertory theater which will help to make history in the theater at this time when the theater is changing very rapidly from a ‘business’ centered in one city to an ‘art’ centered in many cities? “A winning local theater that has the respect of the whole country would be one of the greatest advertising assets any city could have —as great as a pennant winning baseball team or a successful symphony orchestra or the leading producing plant in any industry.” Local theaters today offer: “East Side, West Side” at English’s; “The Jest” at Keith’s; Charlie Davis at the Indiana; Eddie Pardo at the Circle; “Drums of Love” at the Palace; Pat Lane at the Fountain Square; “Sally of the Sawdust” at the Colonial; “The Patent Leather Kid” at the Ohio; all comedy bill at the Lyric; “The Jazz Singer” at the Apollo and burlesque at the Mutual. 28,338 Live in Mishawaka.
