PUT EVOLUTION
LONDON, Nov. 13—The continuous ;
play, presented perhaps on a revolving
stage, will develop after the war is
the opinion of Lady Wyndham, wife of
Sir Charles Wyndham, the British
actor and theatrical manager. Be
fore her marriage to Sir Charles, Lady
Wyndham was Mis .Mary Moore, an
actress and partner in several of
his London houses.
"The war” she declares, in an art
icle ip the Ball Mall gazette, "will
probably supply motives for various
plays long after peace has been he
stored, not the war which is express
ed in glimpses of battle, but the war
as it shows itself in the hearts of
men and women and influences their
lives and their actions.
"My belief Is that after the war an
entirely new style of play will be
evolved, and it will then be consider
de old-fashioned to drop the curtain
and have an entr'acte. The practi
cally continuous play will lie .lue, if <i
comes into being, to various causes.
There is, among other things, a ten
dency for people to go to revues and
music-halls, where the curtains do not
: drop.
'it is an indication of the restless
ness of the age, and it was noticeable
before the war. If these people are
to be attracted to the theatre, they
must have plays presented to them
which do not contain a series of
breaks. There may be rapid change
of scene and costume, or there may bs
the same setting throughout the per
formance.
"To have the same setting from
the beginning to end in a successful
play would mean the need for great
er art on the part of the players. As
for the writer of plays of the kind
which I foresee, he will find the work
unite easy if he is a good craftsman.
"One misfortune arising from a
changed style of play will he lost
to the public of many fine examples
of the playwright's art which have;
won fame in the past. It may be that!
theatres will have to be altered con-J
siderably. For instance, the stage of
each theatre may have to be of the re
volving type, to enable the swift and
complete change of scene to be done
as I have suggested. Something of the
sort exists at the Coliseum.
"There is nothing more revolution
ary in the continous play of the future
than there was in the past in the
change from the five. six. or seven
act play to the play of three acts—
four at the outside—with which we
have grown familiar. We must there
fore, look forward to the results of an
evolutionary process rather than to
those coming from the revolution.”
