Gives Away Ham
First State-Subsidized Theatrical
Venture Covers 53,000 Miles; Cash
Replaces Produce at the Box Office @
BY GERALD TETLEY
NEA Special Correspondent l
ABINGDON, Va.—(NEA)—Af
ter reeling off more than 53,000
miles — “trouping in the fullest
sense of the word—tired thespians
of the Virginia Barter Theater are
ready to go into rehearsz] for a
new season on the road.
Meantime, the unique theatrical
organization, 'y state-subsidi
zed theatre in America, makes its
headquarters in this little town
high in the Southwestern Virginia
hills. The home company’s sea
son at City Hall is in full cry.
It was conceived by Robert
Porterfield of Abingdon, during
days of economic depression and
waning interest in the theater
during war days.
It was his idea of recruiting
jobless actors of merit from New
York for a repertoire of light
drama. At the start, admission
was not necessarily paid for in
coin but by a plucked fowl, a
ham, a mess of snaps and other
things wHich |the actors really
needed most.
This enterprise dprealed to
Virginians so much that after the
first season in Abingdon the com
pany carried drama into the
provinces, with productions inh
rurel. high schools and in the
auditoriums of the large and
smaller towns,
Porterfield suddenly realized a
great fpoublic thirst for thezter.
He discovered that the new gen
eration of young Virginians knew
nothing of the stage except at
¢uch intervals during which vis
its to New York made it possilve
to see the stage in full Broadway
flowering,
Everywhere the Barter players
appeared they had large and eag
er audiences. The fresh greens as
a price of admission gradually
gave way to lettuce of the fo'd
ing kind and Barter theatre pros
pered. The single company was
magnified by two more companies
and Virginia Barter began to “lap
over” into outside territory.
Because the actors travel by
bus and trailer’ truck, the prop
erties and costumes are neces
sarily boiled down to essentials.
Porterfie'd feels that this merely
sharpens the focus on histrionic
ability. §
“But they al.. seem to love it,”
he says. :
The tours have called for sharp
wits and lightning decisions.
There was the instance in which
“Twelfth Night” had to be per
fermed with' props because the
scenery van burned out a bearing
miles from town.
There is th e case of Stuart
Day, one of the leading stars of
Barter, who is now encased in a
heavy cast, : ‘

SHE BANNER-HERALD, AYHENS, GRORGIL
Fraying in “The Hasty Heart”
as Leesburg, Va., Day took a
backward step, caught his foot in
a footlight, and toppled over
backward into the pit. Some of
the audience seemed to think this
was part of the script. Day climb
ed back on the stage for the re
maining 15 minutes, took his cur
tain calls with other members of
the cast and, as the curtain drop
ped, collapsed. At a hospital it
was found he had crushed two
vertebrae,
During the past season, the or
ganization trouped 53,610 miles
in 22 states, gave 535 performan
ces in 241 cities before 206,782
people.
Next season, Barter will expand
with engagements in Kentucky,
Delaware, Indisina and Illinois.
The state of Virginia has assured
it of another stipend of $2,500.
Porterfield believes that his or
iganization, which was founded
!when ncaty every cast member
' bhad, like Cassius, “a lean and
hungry look,” has done much to
recrecte interest in the American
stage.
’ Anr he retains an affectionate
memory of when the box office
‘was loaded with good things to
cat. During parlous days when
Barter Theatre was a toss-up be
tween failure and success a
farmer came to see the show and
produce a smefl pig as his en
trance fee. The pig was removed
to the Porterfield ancestral acres.
Presently she produced a litter
which was raised and sold at
good price and helped put some
thing more solid into the waning ‘
treasury.
These days, Barter Theatre is
on the giving end. Each year it
presents 150 acres of “good Vir
ginia rand”—and a ham—to an
American actor or actress con
tributing to the “uplift and dig
nity of the American theatre.”

HOW TO SMOKE A CICAR WITHOUT
BURNING UP YOUR WIFE
eA.eei A A A, S A
~ NEW YORK—(AP)— The ci
gar is sending up smoke signals
of prosperity—amid some femin
ine cries of complaint.
Last year 15,500,000 smokers in
the United* States did away with
about 6,500,000,000 cigars. This
June almost 430,000,000 cigars
were released to the trade, 11
per cent more than a year ago.
But these figures bring small
cheer to many women who per
sist in the strange delusion that
a man who smokes cigars prob
abbly also takes opium and eats
small children on the half shell.
Why? The cigar is as American
as the vanishing Redskin. Since
Christopher Columbus in 1492
saw his first Indian contentedly
puffing away on a stogie, the ci
gar has enabled the poor man to
feel like a King—and the King
to feel ‘as much at ease as the
commoner.
Yet the cigar smoker today is
the victim of a widespread fe
male conspiracy against him. If
he lights up his Colorado Claro
in an airplane, the stewardess
flutters up like an angry butter
-Ily.
“Cigaret smoking only?” she
says ferrying away the offending
hunk of weed as if it were the
birthplace of world contagion.
No Refund
I know. Lots of times in this
way I've. lost a ten-cent cigar
that still had nine cents to go.
And the airline never refuded
either the cigar or the price of a
new one.
You stoke up in a friend’s
house and what often happens?
His wife throws open the win
dows, ties back the -curtains,
turns the fan on you — and sits
glaring with a baleful eye until
you rub out the poor old cigar.
. My own wife for some time
now has been trying to get me to
ijoin the C. A. A—Cigar Addicts
Anonymous. It does no good for

IClark Gable packs terrific he
| man glamor, and Gable smokes!
| cigars. ‘
“If you are going to try . to)
compare yourself with Clark
Gable,’ says Frances, “let’s start
from scratch.”
| Nor does it influence wives to
! point out that the Duke of Wind
sor, who did give up a kingdom
'for love, didn’t’ forsake the fra
grance of a good Havana. Why
‘bother to cite other famous cigar
lovers — Winston Churchill or
American Presidents like Grover
Cleveland, Calvin Coolidge or
Theodore Roosevelt?
Wives just don’t care. Can you
calm their ire by reminding them
that the American public re
warded Gen. Ulysses S. Grant
'with 11,000 cigars for capturing
Fort Donelson? No, you can’t.
l Remembering what happened
. to' the fine old lost art of tobac
'co chewing, the worried Cigar
Institute of America has under-l
taken a campaign to placate the
ladies, 2 ’
It said a survey disclosed that
many women basically object to
' the way a cigar is usually smok
ed, rather than to the cigar itself.
| The Institute patriotically denies!'
that a cigar stinks up clothing or .
'a living room — smoke ring for
‘smoke ring—any more than ciga- |
| rets. But it gives these etiquette
| tips_to cigar smokers who want
ito Keep the little woman happy:'
“(1) Look before you flick—'
| for an ash on the tray is worth
two on the vest.
| “(2) Puff a good cigar gently.
Laying a smoke screen may easi
ly turn the puff that pleases into
the cloud that chokes.
“(3) Please—no butts. A col
lection of unsightly butts parked
promiscuously around the house
will antagonize the most angelic
wife,
“(4) Don't chew the cigar or
talk with" a Perfecto clamped in
the mouth. Cut the cigar with a
sharp blade; don’t bite off and
spit out the end. And light it
with a match that has burned
off the sulphur. It helps keep the
aroma.” .
There you are men. Okay?
Now light up a big two-for-fif
teen Corona deluxe extra hemp
special—and watch your wife’s
face beam in tender pride and
understanding. To keep her happy
there is one more thing you can
do.
Swallow the smoke. .
