Playhouse and Drama League
Something is radically wrong when
city the size and type Of Wilming
ton is to lose the.enjoyment offered
bv the best of drama. According to
• , . „I u •
yesterday's reports, the Playhouse is
to close next week. This leaves Wil
mington with the movies and vaude
ville. For these, we have nothing but
, , ,
praise but Wilmington deserves more
and will support more than motion
pictures.
Here is an opportunity for the
Drama League. If the Ginn interests
who practically control the city's
theatres, are unable to make a
success, some other provision should
be made for operating The Playhouse.
We know nothing of the costs of
theatre operation but considering that
Wilmington is on the direct route
from New York, Philadelphia, Balti
- more and Washington, it seems in
conceivable that the only real theatre
should be forced to close its doors.

navy is like a long 'stick or a big

The strongest is weak when a bigger

for any nation to have a strong navy

unless it can persuade the other na
tions to have weak ones, or unless it
can so exceed the other nations in

Deserved Tribute to Hughes
This editorial tribute is paid to
Secretary of State Charles Evans
Hughes by The Independent and The
Weekly Review in the first issue of
that serious and influential periodical
which has been created by a merger
of those two publications.
"Few if any Secretaries of State,
have won such commanding leader
ship in foreign affairs; fewer still,
have won such great confidence, as j
Charles Evans Hughes. None, it is
safe to say, has achieved such a re- !
suit in the first six months of his 1

official life.'
That* tribute is well deserved.
cidentally, it also applies to President j
Harding because of his selection of :
such an able and admirable man to be i
the head of the State Department.

PLAYHOUSE TO CLOSE
Management Says Costly
Help and Rairoad Fare
Are Reasons
No Plans For the Futu
re
According to reports in the Wil
mington press, The Playhouse will
close at the end of next week.
This fact was reluctantly admitted
yesterday by James N. Ginns, the
managing director, representing the
lessees. Pressed for the reason for
closing, though the season has barely
started, he tersely replied:
"High cost of back stage and music
are the chief factors."
Explaining this statement, he said
the musicians and stage hands
receiving war-time pay which, he de
clares, the house cannot stand. The
pay of each member of the orchestra,
he said, is $45 a week, while that of
the leader is $75. "This is the situa
tion that has confronted us in the
moving picture theatres also
are
he
said, and it has been Cecided to elimi
nate the orchestras at the
movie
houses, using pianos and organs.
Reverting to The Playhouse situa
tion, he said the stage help
was so
highly paid, like the musicians, that
it was beyond the reach of a Wil
mington theatre. Railroad fares, he
also said, contributed to the general
expense, as they must be added to the
cost of traveling companies. All of
these make a situation that The Play
house cannot meet, he declared. For
that reason it has been decided
shut down after next week.
to
"Will you run pictures there?" Mr.
Ginns was asked.
"We have not future plans for The
Playhouse," was his reply. "We
simply can't keep it going under pres
ent conditions." He could make
prediction as to resumption there,
except to say that there will be no re
sumption until conditions change.
The Garrick Theatre, which the
Topkis-Ginns syndicate has taken
this year, is going along all right,
cording to Mr. Ginns, who gives its
management his personal attention.
