Ins lost all of ita desire for wlinl In contrast to tho movies, are called the legitimate, shows? DOM the offer of way plnys ami players full to al- Irnct Newport people any longcr?

'Taking, the circus away fxom the kids Is as lie says, "as taking away their ke. cream." Still lioiv aro the circuses to be saved? It Is true, labor disputes and bad weather aggiavatcd the troubles thai caused so many to closo year. Inadequate audiences, though, seem to havo been a far more inlluential factor In tlio circus slump.

1'erhaps Iho president of Ihc Saints and Sinners Is wrong wlicn lie names the circus as one of the three great things In America today, Lowell Thomas, Ihougli, Is hopeful about It all. He says that the circuses will surely survive whatever temporary blows they arc receiving. The public does not want llicm to sink and just will not let Unit happen, he insists.

'I tractive playhouse is not he at- liugc.

Kven so for the first half of Its summer bill the audiences have not largo enough to give much encouragement lo those, who are bringing stage plays lo Newport another season. Back in Ihc years before moving pictures gained so strong a hold on the public, the present Opera House, under ils former arrangement, was host to many famous actors nnd actresses. Then tho advent of a Broadway production wns the signal, many times, for tho sign, "SUnding Room Only." Those of the oWcr generation easily recall Joseph Jefferson, James J. Ada Rehnn, B. H.

Musical comedy stars, as well, camo here In the popular musical plays of Ihc. time. Another era of Ihe stage, slnco (ha war, had developed new contingent of clever actors and actresses. Stock companies at the Casino in the late 'twenties and cnriy 'thirties, made it their practice to bring famous stars here.
