Te 9 ea Pan * gnd qwill be called the Ritz, This new « Harris. Ht COMIC PAGE MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1921 About Plays - By BIDE “sé iT makes no difference what theatre your play is in,” we heard a man any to- day. “If it is a good play it will win succeds,” He's wrong. Many a good play has) Deon killed by its theatre, And here | iw our principal reason for the aeser- tion: ‘here are playhouses in the Broad- way district whose first ten or twelve rowa of seats are on a level floor. Now take, for instance, a little man— physically, of course, we mean! Let's presume he is shown to a seat direct- Ty Behind a fat man. The iittle man grines his neck and strains his back toseo the stage, and before the end of the first act he ts all tired out By the time the end of the perform- ance comés he is not only weary but mad. Then what happens? He goes out vowing the show is punk. Let Afty others come out saying the same thing for the same reason and they wif start » report that will put the play in the storehouse, So, Mr. Theatre Builder, have all your stats on a generous slant and you'll relieve the congestion in the last resting places of plays. NEW THEATRE, THE RITZ. \ another new Shubert theatre is | nearing completion, It is located in 48th Street just west af Broadway house, which will have a seating capacity of 945, will be opened Inte next month.
