By the Associated Press. PARIS, April 5—The French thea- ter is in & bad way if one is to believe the official report of the fine arts com- misston of the Chamber of Deputies. It is written by Jean Locquin, who takes it upon himself to fix the blame on “the general mediocrity of authors, the enforced parsimony of theaters in casting and staging plays and the com- petition of the movies.” “Peoples would rather see a good movie at a low price than a poor play at a high price,” says Locquin. Modernist Theater Given Credit. It is the modernist theater which is | given credit for keeping altve the spark of life in French drama and in it, says this parliamentary theatrical expert, there is “proof that dramatic art has within it deep forces capable of rejuve- Aating it and, with the help of a public responsive to truth and good taste, it can surmount difficulties, conquer new means of expression, adapt itself to modern stage requirements and blossom forth in a renaissance, if the govern- ment backs its efforts instead of para- lyzing them.” And after that long fight, the keeper proposes dies_given ses, L'Ate- of showhouse appropriations raising the ante on the s the two “vanguard” play Jer and L'Ocuvre. Each' got $400 apiece last year and now they are to have $600. He also proposes tax Te- ductions. Tocquin says that theater managers have been obliged by the high cost of everything to “reduce to three or four the number of persons in a cast and to utilize the same setting throughout a play.” Many consider that rather an extreme statement but admittedly French plays are written now with few characters and frequently the same set, rarely costly, works for three acts. Dramatists Are Criticized. Expenses are reduced to the limit, also, by getting properties at low prices or by borrowing them, by giving credit on the program for the hat worn by the star, the piano played by the ingenue and the shirt and socks worn by the patent-leather-haired heartbreaker who smokes only a certain brand of cigar- ttes. < ‘As for the dramatists, they get theirs | in this description of the average play: | “The work is badly constructed, devoid of action, of movement or conclusion. The subject is trite and mean.” Even dramatic critics, severe as they are supposed to be, don’t agree with that, but the theater world in general does not bite back because it looks to Locquin to help rid it of some of the heavy taxation on which the managers put most of the blame. COURTS MAY GET MINE UNION CASE District Officials Indicate Decision | Will Be Sought in Dispute Over Name. | By the Associated Press. SPRINGFIELD, Ill. April 5—Tllinois mine union district officials yesterday indicated courts may be asked to decide | which branch of the union is entitled to use the name United Mine Workers of America, after the appellate court had refused to vacate a restraining order which prohibits interference in the Illinois subdistrict by John L. | Lewis, international president of the | older branch of the mine union. State miners’ President Harry Fish- | wick obtained the injunction last Fall | culminating a_struggle between him- self and Lewis over policies of the miners' union. The order Testrains | Lewis from establiching pro\'iswnali officers in Illinois to take the place of those he ordered deposed. “District No. 2 was driven by neces- ! sity to secure this injunction,” attor= | neys for Fishwick argued today. “We owe it to the members of the’ district who stood so loyally with the district organization, to the coal industry upon | the prosperity of which the miners de- | pend and to the public generally to see that the terms and conditions of this | injunction are obeyed and its mandates enforced.” LATTER-DAY SAINTS GATHER IN MISSOURI | World Centennial Conference to| Open Tomorrow in New Inde- pendence Temple.
