Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Plays and Books of the Little Theatre Concerning the state of the little theatre today, two mutually exclusive but arresting viewpoints prevail in the critical diocese. One holds that having abundantly leavened the barren loaf of the legitimate stage, it has by that same token outlived its pristine fruitfulness. The other contends that the little theatre will, and must, continue to flourish cheek by jowl with the professional playhouse, thus completing the function of both laboratory and supply base. Of late the latter commissary role of the little theatre has been most provocative of justified optimism, as well as highly prolific of actual results, more or less commendable and far-reaching. For quite a long interval, owing to huge moneyed syndicates, grimly intrenched, the legitimate theatres remained unmalleable to the repeated assaults of the new theatrecraft engineered, for the most part, by small outlawed groups. Despite this fact, perhaps because of it, these groups continue to multiply, springing up unforced in remodeled barns, canvas-roofed backyards or in transfigured garages. While Mr. Sara Shipman, for example, is at present doling out piecework in his Play Sweatshop on Broadway, such clear-eyed enthusiasts as The Provincetown Players and The Wisconsin Players are conducting brave little try-out theatres tending to encourage the beginning playwright and the scene-designer with a new idea. The enormous irony of the situation is apparent when one considers the strabismic boycott once launched on Broadway. To cite the classic example: Mr. Belasco, during the first season of the Washington Square Players, deigned to honor the Bandbox with his Rhadamanthine presence. But he went away the more firmly rooted in an inexorable determination to pursue his wonted course of nice, denatured realism - a realism that obtrudes constantly on the wonder and attention of the audience - but which somehow fails to "realize." On the other side, a handful of legitimate producers, by attending the little theatre performances with open mind, were eventually won over to the cult of the new stagecraft. Foremost among the latter should be mentioned Mr. Winthrop Ames and, particularly, Mr. Arthur Hopkins, whose productions of the Clair Kummer comedies and "Redemption" and "The Jest," notwithstanding their faults, testify to the foreshadowed risorgimento of the commercial theatre.

It is a neat statement and extremely correct, but for us who are not necessarily familiar with the meaning Of such phrases as struggle between human Wills, motivated by emotion rather than by intellect, and expressed in terms Of Objective action, it may seem a little too pat.

The quaint cottage, the snow white-capped mountain, the tumbling waterfall and the steep ascending cliffs were painted in a manner which brought many favorable com ments from competent art critics. The blend ing Of the colors was magnificent. It was genuine art. The beauty Of it all was that these two young men found that they could express themselves even on canvas. Just as they had painted their scenery on the stage Of the theater, so did they write their play, acting out each line before they put it in final form for presentation. Often they worked all night until four O'clock in the morning. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book One Act Plays (Classic Reprint) written by Helen Louise Cohen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-05 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Act Plays The one-act play is a new form of the drama and more emphatically a new form of literature. Its possibilities began to attract the attention of European and American writers in the last decade of the nineteenth century, those years when so many dramatic traditions lapsed and so many precedents were established. It is significant that the Oldest play in the present collection is Maeterlinck's The Intruder, published in 1890. The history of this new form is of necessity brief. Before its vogue became general, one-act plays were being presented 'in vaudeville houses in this country and were being used as curtain raisers in London theatres for the purpose of marking time until the late-dining audiences should arrive. With the exception of the famous Grand Guignol Theatre in Paris, where the entertainment for an evening might consist of sev eral one-act plays, all of the hair-raising, blood-curdling variety, programs composed entirely of one-act plays were rare. Sir James Matthew Barrie is usually credited with being the first in England to write one-act plays intended to be grouped in a single production. A program of this character has been un common in the commercial theatre in America, but three of Barrie's one-act plays, constituting a single program, have met with enthusiastic response from American audiences. There are two new developments in the history of the theatre that have encouraged and promoted the writing of one act plays: the one is the Repertory Theatre abroad and the other is the Little Theatre movement on both sides of the At lantic. The repertory of the Irish Players, for example, is composed largely of one-act plays, and American Little Theatres are given over almost exclusively to the one-act play.
