Madge Evans currently appearing in 'The World We Make'
* * *
By S. R. WALLACE
Mr. Sydney Kingsley, Mrs. Kings-
ley (alias Madge Evans) and Hervie
Haufler, managing editor of The
Daily, held a three-way conversa-
tion at the League yesterday and
decided that University students may
expect an enterprising future in the
theatre.
Kingsley, author of the current
Dramatic Season production "The
World We Make," and Miss Evans,
who plays the leading role, were
gratified by Ann Arbor's apprecia-
tion of their opening Tuesday, and
in return showed an active interest
in student problems.
The conversation ran about like
this: .
The Daily: "Have you noticed any
changes in the theatre caused by
the current war?"
Mr. Kingsley: "Yes, of course . . .
it has affected playwrights who can't
seem to keep their minds off the
situation, and it has affected au-
diences, Who on the whole want light
amusement and escape from reality."
The Daily: "Then how do you
account for the popularity of your
own play here this week?"
Mr. Kingsley: "Well, this is a col-
lege town. Most cultural groups are
interested . f . but it was apparent
in New York, where the play was
applauded by the critics and those
who attended, that as a commercial
success a 'heavy' play is doubtful .
By the way, I was surprised at the;
professional way your dramatic cri-
tic handled his review of "The World
We Make'."
The Daily: "Well, thank you. You
see, like a great many students here
he is actively concerned with drama.
We have a large play producing
group.",;
Miss Evans: "But of course! We
are working with students in Syd-
ney's play. They are really very
good."
The Daily: "What do you think
of the University as a training
ground for the stage?"
Miss Evans: "It is an excellent
place. I think that along with stock
and little theatre training, college
graduates are ready for the com-
mercial theatre . . . that is, they
would be, if there were enough
Broadway plays for them to act in."
Mr. Kingsley: "That's just it. For,
"instance, I have been looking for a
play for Madge to do on Broadway,
but in the hundreds of scripts sub-
mitted to us to read, we haven't
found one that is at all good."
Miss Evans: "There really is a
future for your playwriting students,
if they are capable. We didn't even
find one play with a germ of an
idea, and Sydney was willing to work
with the author of at least a prom-
ising script."
The Daily: "Our Hopwood con-
test here may unearth an unusual
play. Have you ever heard of-"
Miss Evans: "Avery Hopwood? Oh
yes, did he attend this University?"
The Daily informed her of the
facts concerning Hopwood awards,
and the thousands of dollars in-
involved. Quipped Miss Evans:
"Sydney, maybe it will be worth your
while to stay here for the contest .
between that and the JGP ads we've
seen around... " Mr. Kingsley
laughingly agreed, but predicted re-
jections on his attempts.
Returning to the discussion on war
and the theatre, Mr. Kingsley opined
that the widespread need of enter-
tainment in the face of threatening
brutality was doubling the country's
interest in the theatre, and that in
this way the field was more prom-
ising to aspiring actors.
