Meanwhile, Boston is having a taste of what such a theatre would be able to do. Walter Hampden, at the Opera House this week and next, is without doubt the greatest patron in America of Genuine repertoire. His program includes both "classic" and modern plays of the best sort; his experimenting with occasional plays that are not as generally popular as they should be, is one of the particular opportunities of such a theatre; and his whole method of procedure, with a company of trained and versatile actors, and an intelligent producing force, is in the right line.

...uncertain element in any such enterprise--and the one most frequently overlooked--is the audience; yet that in the end determines success or failure. If Boston's apathy toward Mr. Hampden's truly inspiring work may be taken as witness, there seems no reason to suppose that the public wants a National Repertory Theatre. There are always the few, awake to opportunity, who see and enjoy such productions as Hampden's repeatedly; but those few are not enough to make great art popular art, and unless it is popular as well as great, the National Theatre will fail.

...device known in the art of stage lighting will be used to produce a highly unusual and colorful effect. In doing this the assistance of Mr. Claude Bragdon o Rochester, H. Y., plays an important part. Mr. Bragdon, who has done a good deal of work for Mr. Walter Hampden, has recently come into special prominence as a result of his work at the church of St. Mark's on the Bowery, where ornamental lighting has been employed successfully to vary with the mood of the service...
