Excerpt from Portmanteau Plays Especially during the last two decades in Amer ica various movements have been generated for the establishment of a more or less permanent repertory theater. In most cases these move ments have proved abortive; indeed, they have al ways proved abortive whenever actual permanency was implied. The failure of the New Theater, now the Century Theater, in New York, marks the highest point in a long series of failures. Next in line for consideration comes Stuart Walk er's Portmanteau Theater. So far it has been entirely successful, and at the present moment there is no reason for prophesying anything but unqualified triumph for the venture. But In any case, whatever time may do to controvert the pres ent situation, the Portmanteau Theater has taught us not one, but many lessons, and it seems entirely fitting that an eflort should now be made to sum up in detail the history Of the theater, in order that a proper basis for future deduction may be furnished. To do this eflectively it will be well to begin with the presiding genius of the Portman teau, Stuart Walker himself.
