Has Seen Closed Down, but Served
In peeping tho Great Idea Be
u fore tho Public.
On account of tho Inability of tho
rs
convocation committee to announce
tho' spanker for yesterday until a
Bhort time In advance of tho hour,
only a small crowd was present to
hear Prof. II. D. Scott on tho "New
Theater." Mr. Scott said the eleva
tion of tho theater and. tho drama was
not -a new idon. ActorB and patrons
for a long time had been urging it, but
not until late yoars have they been
ablo to Interest the public In it.
The New Theater.
Tho interest in the matter led to
tho subscribing by New York million
aires to a fund to creato a theater
which was to produce only the better
dramas. It was to be open to Clio pub
lic, tho plays were to have only short
rims, no attempt boing made to make
money from them, and the greatest
artlBtlc excellence possiblo was to be
given tho plays. The Now theater
was built outside of tho theater dis
trict and was the Hnest playhouse
cvor erected. It had an enormous
seating capacity The" 'company
chosen were among tho best of actors.
A literary director wbb selected to
choose the playB.
Proves a Failure.
Tho first' performance waB practi
cally a failure. Out of live plays the
lh'Bt senBon but one seemed to meet
tho approval of the audience. The
Now theater has recently been forced
to close. During this, Its second sen
son, the plays have not been success
ful. Thp reason for Its closo was that
Its donprs refusod to contribute fur
thor. Sovoral reasons have been given
for tho closing. It Is said that the
chief fault lies with the audiences.
Thoy are principally millionaires, who
come as to a social function rather
than for a love of the drama. There
Is talk of moving the theater to tho
downtown district. Professor Scott
said that If It began to hnving long
runs and entering too much to the
taste of the people It would Iobc Its
usefulness. But it has been n suc
cess so far In one thing, if in nothing
cIbo, it has kept the Idea of an ad
vanced drama before the public.
