It is doubtful that the salvation of the theater lies either with flesh-and-blood newsreels or nerve-end sensationalism. But both at least point in the direction of reopening the theater to life, action and meaning. Whatever happens, the theatergoer should have a vantage point offered by no other art. He has a right to demand a place in the fire pit of existence, there to behold the spectacle of man in all his folly, pride and spirit.
