Mr. Dexter's tour originally did not Include Omaha, but he insisted that it l>e Included because he wished to he back and visit his many friends.

The movies have injured the the ater by creating a "movie eye." The theater has no future be cause there is no money in it for the playwrights. Those were the three outstand ing statemente of Cosmo Hamilton, speaking to members of the Drama league at the Brandeis theater yes terday. The playwright gave one of the gloomiest addresses heard recently in the theater. His roll was much better suited to Shakespeare's gloomy prince of Denmark. Hamilton blandly admitted that he has written 29 to 30 plays. He did not say what type of play any of them happened to be but, judg ing from his talk, they ikust have all been the gloomiest of dramas. I Foresees Kailio Plays.. The playwright is an attractive individual. He possesses a charm ing manner and a personality which is very similar to that of his brother. Sir Phillip Gibbs. All this he Impressed upon his audience between his volleys of gloom. “There is one consolation In the theater now," he said. “The radio does not Interfere. "As yet it hasn't realized its pos sibilities. It is but a child. “But when it finds out what an amazing thing it is—what will be the use of the stage? “Half-hour plays will be given over radio. Actors and actresses will be chosen by their voices rather than their physical attributes. "I give you five years for all this to develop and then the producers of today will have retired and the theater, with the exception of a few uptown in >Je\v York, sub scribed to by people determined to be old-fashioned, will be closed. “Everything points to this state of affairs," the speaker continued, gloomily. “How do you expect a man to pay $3.30 for a seat in a cold-looking house In the hopes of seeing a play which Is possibly none too good when that man is entirely sober? “If that same man had had a drink when he went to purchase the ticket he would be more Inclined to spend his money. He also would be more satisfied with the play which he saw. Takes Hap at Belasco. “As it Is, he will go tQ a movie, hear jazz music and taks his pleas ure with the multitude. “But one thing holds the theater out of the ruck today,” Hamilton added. “That Is the Theater guild and the Dittle Theater movements. “The artistic sense of the theater today Is almost deplorable. Wit ness Belasco and his three unmen tionable plays. "The Dove. “The Harem” and “Badles of the Night." “There would be no theaters in the world if every country should embrace prohibition.” The sauve playwright bowed his way from the stage. His task of broadcasting gloom for the benefit of theatrical personages was over. CONCORDIANS SEE TRAVEL PHOTOS Frank T. B.
