4 »Mr. Ames, as though eager to give me Winthrop Ames Hopes Little Theatre Won't Become a Fad, for Fads Are Never Taken Se- riously ; Nor Ie the Lili- putian Playhouse a Highbrow Proposition. And It Breaks Winthrop’s Heart That He Hasn't Any Cheap Seats, but He Hopes to Be Able to Reduce ’Em for Special Performances -- Likes the Game BY CHARLES DARNTON. E likes the game; that’s why Winthrop Ames is in >it. Even with @ full house he can't win very much, for his Little Theatre has a seating capacity of only 299, and while $2.50 may be a pretty fair ante for an evening’s play, the “kitty” cannot possibly be over- fed after the players have had their “bit.” “When I can afford it, I'll put my carde on the table," announced Mr. Ames, running a k eye over his hand. I had only to mention Missourt aa ‘my natural state for him to add: “If I can break even I'll be satisfied.” It was a “show-down.” There was nothing to do but sit back and wait for Mr. Ames to spread out his hand, “You see," he revealed, “in the eyes of the building law I'm nothing more than & church sociable or a moving jcture show. In other worgs, if my house seated one more than 290 per- fons it would stand before the law 8 @ theatre and be compelled to have & ten-foot alley on either. side and sul another behind It.

I was obliged to con-| sider the running expenses. The Little ‘Theatre gets along with very little help.

The truth {s that two or three— make money to come out end of the month. possibly four—women who know the stage backwards and have any amount of money behind them have banded together to bulld a theatre, Whether they remain “banded” only time can tell. You know how women are! But these two or three or four have their artistic hearts set on a theatre that is sure to be overwhelmingly fashion- able if it ever materializes. In that event, suffragette plays muy be ushered in by a butler. I have no means of knowing, howe whether the pro- posed “woman's theatre” will be within reach of the poor working girl who is #0 generously discussed by her rich sister. WHY FEARFUL THE THEATRE MAY BECOME A FAD? “The thing that breaks my heart, | said Mr. Amos with unmistakable sin- 18 that I haven't any cheap I don't want to play to one crowd alone. In fact, my one fear Is that The Little Theatre may become fad. I know exactly how much a fad fs worth, A fad is never taken seri- a necessary evil, but a butler “in front’ seems an unnecessary expense, And then, too, @ butler always takes up so much room, especially the English fed variety. However, we may have to reckon with him in the theatre before we are many years older. In fact, only the other day, he loomed up majestic- lly in news that reached me of a “woman's theatre’ that is to be con- ducted along severely fashionable Unes.
