A One Night Stand

There is no getting around it. Richmond is a one night stand. The recent changes in the theater situation in Richmond throw into the limelight the possibilities both good and bad in the theater business for Richmond. One of the best known managements in the country, closely allied to the producing managers of New York by business and social relations had charge of the Gennett theater and relinquished It because he could not make money here. No one supposes that this manager any more than any other could afford to run the theater at a loss. And now a new management has come in control of the theater. It Is doubtful whether there will soon be another year in which the theater going public in Richmond will have such a chance as it had last year. Indianapolis could not boast better attractions than Richmond had. And tho incoming management knows that it cannot do as well in the matter of getting good attractions as did the former and make money. This is no reflection on the management of Mr. Murray. He himself will be the first to indorse such a statement. The fact is that any manager of any theater can bring any attraction that the town wants provided that he or some one wants to put up the guarantee. If you want to get at the theater situation In this town in a fair and dispa6ifnate way, you will bo interested in an article written by Wal- . ter Prichard, Editor in the June American Magazine. But there are literally thousands of one-night stands in the United States and there are not at present even hundreds of first class attractions. Many of our leading players seldom appear outside of the larger cities. Many of our best plays when they are abandoned by their "stars" are turned over to the tender mercies of atrocious companies which trade upon the play's past success to delude the small towns. The one-night stands which secure the good plays, well presented, are those in which the local manager can afford to promise the guaranty demanded. If your local manager cannot afford to promise this guaranty, it is because you and your neighbors do not support him in sufficient numbers. If you want better plays all you have got to do to get them is to Insure your local manager against loss. Just why this situation should worry a local public may not occur to a great many people who do not go to the theater. There are still many people with whose viewpoint we cannot agree, but which we can quite understand, who think of the theater as a place of bad morals, bad taste, and general demoralization. We can remember the protests of the local ministerial association and other forces which aim at good effects In the community denouncing burlesque shows and such wanton insipidity as "The Girl From Rector's." There can be no controversy that these people are right In their indictment and wrong In the remedy. The individual rotten show can, if it goes too far, be stopped by the police. But what about the show which is Just as bad by its commonplace vulgarity and border line suggestiveness occasional interpoluted lines.

Eaton has Bald it better than we can: But why should you go to all this trouble? you may ask. After an, you can worry along without the theater. You have your public library, magazines, lectures, even your occasional trip to New York, Bo6ton or Chicago. Yes, you can get along without the theater, and doubtless do. But the children and young folks of your town do not, and will not, nor will many of their elders, for whom theater-going Is a great relaxation after a hard day's work, and the weekly "show," bad as it often is, a treat. What of them? You give your children Shakespeare to read in the school, but never Shakespeare to see and hear on the stage, ignoring the fact that Shakespeare did not write his plays to be read, but to be acted. And then you wonder why your children do not enjoy them! You provide a public library, with excellent books, and appropriate money for Itst maintenance. But are you aware that at least seventy-five per cent, of all the books taken out are fiction? That shows the public hunger for fictional enjoyment. The stage Is the most vivid and popular purveyor of fictional enjoyment. Do you make any provision for your stage? No you allow anything and everything to come to town, good, bad and indifferent, for your children and young folks to see, and though you insist on having Dickens and Stevenson for them in the library, you do not turn a hand to provide them with Barre and Maeterlink in the playhouse. The result Is that an incredible majority of Americans are growing up with the most rudimentary or even distorted ideas of what constitutes dramatic art and the art of acting. Season after season an occasional minstrel show, a few cheap musical comedies sung by a brokendown chorus and played by a group of crass and cheap "comedians," a few more "second companies" of bungling actors maltreating some Broadway success of three seasons back out of all semblance to Itself, and finally, as a mere glimmer of better things, two or three farces, such as "Blllle" or "The Lottery Man," more competently acted, afford the only dramatic fare of many a one-night stand, and on this fare the taste of the community Is nourished; by it, and by it alone, the young people learn all they know of the theater. "Is It any wonder that the dramatic taste 'on the road Is a thing of scorn, or that moving pictures flourish? Is It any wonder there is no standard of dramatic art through the country? What is there to create a standard by? Furthermore, do you suppose that all your lectures and all your libraries are going to be of much avail in creating taste and enthusiasm for the better things of art and literature If you allow each week the poison of atrocious acting and cheap plays to fill the ears and eyes of your young peaple, with never anything on your stage to show them the higher standard? They do, and always will, like to go to the theater better than to the library or the lecture hall. You cannot change that. What is there left for you to do, then, but to Improve your theater? And the means are in your hands." Now not one of our local ministers can go farther than Mr. Eaton in saying that most of us feel about many of the plays that come here to play to our one night stand. The theater Is an institution. The theater will continue in operation In Richmond as in every other of the towns like this in America, Ninety per cent, of the theaters of the country are one night stands.

In conclusion, Mr. Eaton's analysis puts the situation In a place where the public can touch it. The people can raise the stage to any height or lower It to any depth of degradation and vulgarity. The experience of Mr. Sommers and his manager, Miss McVicker, proved that Richmond could not support good theatrical attractions under present conditions. Mr. Murray can not either. The public can change it by organized effort.
