THE ENGLISH THEATRE
ME MANAGER'S ATTACK LACK OF VERSATILE ACTORS. press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, July 8. Mr Lee Schubert, the world’s most influential theatre manager, _ made a startling' attack on the English stage before his -departure for New York. “I wanted to find material for COO theatres, ho said, “ but I was only able to purchase four plays, while I only engaged three or four artists, where are the pretty women with voices who are able to act? Once they abounded, but now English managers only want people with ready-made namas. Your managers go to America lo buy successes, thinking that the risk is loss. The result ir that English authors are not writing, and the oldtime manager has gone. Many in London nowadays do not know their business.”—A. and N.Z Cable.
