Barter Theater’s Famed Sponsor
Still Takes Tickets at Door
By Jay Carmody
It has been widely publicized, and consequently is widely recognized,'1
that Robert Poterfield of Abingdon, Va„ is sponsor of the most original
Idea in the theater since the Hoover administration. The idea, of course,
is the Barter theater which is now on tour in the northern part of
Virginia, playing a circuit which includes Arlington, Alexandria. Fairfax,
Winchester, Fredericksburg, etc.
But, having had the dream of trading Shakespeare and Shaw for a
oozen eggs, two quarts oi miiK, or a
whole season of them for a ham of
sufficient size, Porterfield did not
stop dreaming. He found that it was
a sure way to be a happy man, and
while it has brought him the
friendship of the famous every
where he still prefers the friendship
of the nonfamous.
He still takes tickets, or a bushel
of potatoes, at the door, i But not the
potatoes on tour). He does it with
a satisfaction which indicates
Katharine Hepburn is missing some
thing in limiting herself to just
acting. Porterfield also acts, and
with the best of company as in
“The Yearling’’ soon to be released,
and dozens of other major produc
tions. But he can't get it out of his
bushy head that the theater should
be the most democratic institution
man has created, a notion the
Greeks also subscribed to when they
created the idea which the Shuberts
have inherited.
t- Observers would have to classify
Porterfield as an idealist. There is
one thing wrong with this judgment.
Idealists are supposed to be having
a foul time of it. Porterfield spends ’
every minute having the time of his
life. He knows about the war. having
been in it. He also knows about the
lack of peace, being in that, too
But he has had so many dealings
with people that he can't help hav
ing faith in them and in their fu
ture. Therefore, in addition to being;
sn idealist and an extrovert, he
also is an optimist. It also explains!

Shaw to the shaver in the balcony,

looks upon him in absolute astonish
ment.
* * * *
Porterfield, an excellent actor
when he wants to pick up an odd
dollar to invest in his Barter the
ater enterprise, is not a matinee
idol type. He is the rugged sort,
with a ‘face that would look well
carved on one of Abingdon's moun
tains, but which looks more like
that of a second male lead in this
life.
As a man who is amtised. he talks
amusingly. Of the theater as a
democratic meeting ground, he says:;
“I think it is one of the ideal
gathering places. It is not like a
club, where people see only the!
other members who are just like
themselves. It is not like the po
litical meeting, or convention, where
Democrats meet only Democrats.!
Republicans meet Republicans, and
Socialists meet other Socialists. It1
is not even like a church, the basic
gathering place, where every one
is of the same faith.”
* 4 4 4
Porterfield, who is much too re
laxed ever to pass as a zealot, is
nevertheless involved in a number
of missions in the theater, although
the word might horrify him.
One of the things he would like
to do is prove that the drama is
a fine career for nice people, that
parents who lift their hands in hor
ror at such an ambition in their
young are quite wrong. His own
family disowned him when he con
fessed to a yearning for a theater
career, but it not only took him'
back, but even exceeded his own
zeal for the profession when the
Barter became Abingdon's greatest
institution.
In selecting the players who make
up Barters repertory company—as
brilliant a lot as you ever saw—he
Is unique among casting directors.
He has four questions he asks ap
plicants. You might begin thinking
up t.he answers should you contem
plate joining Gregory Peck. Hume
Cronyn, Jeffrey Lynn, and a dozen
others equally known as alumni of
Abingdon.
The first question Porterfield asks
is: What does your father do?
That gives him an idea of the
applicants background, and he does
not mean social or financial.
The next question is more tricky.
It is: Are you satisfied with being
yourself, and if not, who would you
like to be?
“If they want to be themselves, ■
that s fine,” Porterfield explains.
They are probably well-organized
humans. But, it is all right if they'
would like to be Helen Hayes or
Katharine Cornell. I'd take that
as an indication of good taste. On
the other hand, if they wanted to
be Veronica Lake or Lana Turner,
that would be all right, too. I
would not think Abingdon would
be the place for them to start how - i
ever.”
The other two questions he asks
are what are the three things the;
applicant likes best, the three he
likes least.

feels he has been cued into the pos
sibilities of the prospect.
His present company, which fairly
glitters with talent, leaves no doubt
he has something there.
No group in the country is more
ardently beseiged by Hollywood and
Broadway talent scouts. But Por
terfield's actors and actresses take
a long time to get around to a “yes''
to such offers. The man has com
municated to them enough of his
enthusiasm for Barter to make them
want to stay with it a long time.

Gene Tierney returns here
Wednesday to her impatient spouse
Oleg Cassini. From the way Oleg
talked about Gene at a recent cock

to surmount recent rumors of dis

he is still on suspension at Warner's
for refusing "Woman in White." "It.
was one of those silly roles," says
Zach, "and I've only just gotten
out of them (in 'Stallion Road’).
I didn't want to start doing them
all over again. But everybody's very
friendly with me at Warners," Zach
hastens to add. That sounds like an
impending divorce.
Bette Davis arrived unexpectedly
at Warners last week for portrait
sittings, and she couldn't use her
dressing room because it's been
turned into a dormitory for strike
bound players and workers. Errol
Flynn's and William Powell's dress
ing rooms are also crammed with
cots. And by the way, with the re
lease of Bette's picture, "Decep
tion," next month, she will be off
the screen for at least a year be
cause of her expected baby.
