Sir Cedric Hardwicke discusses today's theatre

BROADCAST: Oct. 14, 1960 | DURATION: 00:37:14

Synopsis

According to Sir Cedric Hardwicke, plays are only fashionable in New York City even though people all around the country are hungry to see a good play. In England around Christmas time, Hardwicke says children are exposed to plays at an early age, unlike here in the states, where there aren't any plays geared toward children.
