4 NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, JULY 8, 1930. F_______ D : RAMATIC SEASON OPENS IN BRISTOL | {7 Trelawny of the Wells” Pre-| 1ted—Daniel Frohman opeaks (Special to the Herald) i | | Bristol, July 8—Presenting “Tre- | | [lawny of the Wells,” as the first play | in its elght weeks' program, the Manhattan Repertory Theater Col- | ony opened its season last evening | ¢ the Community theater. The levent attracted many leaders of lclety tn this and surrounding c and not a few public executives were [noticed in the audience. Of striking appeal was the ap- Dearance of Daniel Frohman, who | ranks with the deans of New York producers and who brought “Tre- | {lawny” to this country more than 30 Years ago. Mr. Frchmam spoke at length on the history of the staze and complimented Walter Hartwig, | director o the colony, on his plugk | as a torch bearer in furthering lhc I've had to pay n interest of the spoken drama. While the curtain was lowered | after the first act Mr. Hartwig ap- peared before the footlights and e plained his purpose in organizing and maintaining the colony. He stated that he had intense faith in fihs drama and the realization that | it is to live .it must be peopled with skilled actors and actress prompted him to form the colony geveral years zgo. The organization | trains people for all departments of | the stage and its faculty is composed ©of talented men and women whose bility to teach others the secrets of Sramatic art has been firmly estab- liched. The acting company is a | Ecparate unit maintained so that the | students in the colony school may have the advantage of observing at first hand the technique of actors and actresses who have risen to ccmmanding positions in the theater. Mr. Hartwig expressed the hope tha persons living in this area would Khow their appreciation of the pres- entation of standard dramas brought %o their doors and interpreted by a Fast whose competence has been proved in the sharply competitive field in New York city. { Mr. Frohman's talk was in the na- | ure of reminiscenses and proved a ielight to his 'isteners. He encouraz- Fd Mr. Hartwig to continue to bear bn high the standard. He remarked that if Mr. Hartwig had financial gain solely in mind, he could have ffound a far richer field for the sum- mer in New York, where his talents pre fully recoznized. What the theater needs, Mr. Froh- man said, is not managers or pro- ducers, but playwrights. To empha- #ize his point, he called attention to the fact, that plays which have irharacter are those which live, and In this respect referred to the works | pt Arthur Wing Pinero, author of “Trelawny,” and Sir James Matthew | Parries, whose “Peter Pan, and other dramas were produced in the United States by the speaker's brother, the late Charles Frohman, who lost his life when the “Titani #oundered. Dwelling on the diffe prce between audiences of a gener tion ago and of today, Mr. Frohman | referred to the gasps of the nation | hen he produced “The Secoad s. Tanqueray,” which dealt light- with a subject for which the pub- > mind was not prepared but which | was an immecdiate and prolonged puccess. || Mr. Frohman told several anec- dotes in connection with his long gervice to the stage and described |n lhumorous incidents in the business felations of Charles Frohman | James M. Barrie. “Trelawny of the ‘fuu scope for the dramatic talen oi the acting company which N '}iar'“lg has assembled. Tt is a story | 0¢ English stage life in the '60's.
