Sommaire

• A perishable theatre

  WHEN speaking of a Perishable
  Theatre I do not want anybody
  to imagine that I use the word " Perishable"
  as implying something hardly
  worth consideration. I use it so as to
  distinguish it from the Durable Theatre,
  to place it apart; not that it is
  inferior to the Durable Theatre, only
  that it is different.

• The place

  Architecture does not come
  into this question of place, for
  the ephemeral theatre. Its Drama
  could be performed in any and every
  place, and caprice and phantasy might
  put together stages one more fantastic
  than the other. Something, like a
  house of cards; with the suggestion
  that, should we lean against it, it
  would topple over.

• The little theatres of America

  According to Miss c. D. Mackaye
  who has written a book
  on "The Little Theatres in the United
  States ", the Washington Square
  Players established in 1915 are
  " undoubtedly
  the most interesting group
  of Little Theatre Players in the
  States "
