“LEAN TIME”
PLIGHT OF ENGLISH ACTORS. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright LONDON. April 21. “West End actors and actresses, having a lean time at Home, need not imagine that the people of the overseas Dominions are waiting to pay their hard-earned money for indifferent fare, which London rejected," writes Dame Sybil Thorndike, in the “Daily Mail.” “Even the small towns are becoming increasingly discriminating, scorning puerile farces and preferring plays like ‘Saint Joan.’ Australia and New Zealand are building up their own individual drama. I believe there is a fertile field for co-operation for London and Dominion theatres, and the profession.”
