How can I become a cinema projectionist?

Who is this well-known dramatist from around the 1900s (thoughts on cinema replacing theater)?

• I'm reading an article by Georg Lukács in 1913 called "Thoughts on an Aesthetics of Cinema". This article mentions "a well-known dramatist" who "occasionally fantasized that the cinema could replace theater" at the beginning of the second paragraph, but doesn't actually say who this dramatist is. What is the name of this "well-known" figure? Relevant excerpt from the text: "A well-known dramatist occasionally fantasized that the 'cinema' (through perfection of technique and through perfected reproducibility of speech) could replace theater. If this succeeds--so he says--there will no longer be an imperfect ensemble: the theater is no longer bound to the spatial dispersion of good acting abilities; only the best actors will play in the pieces and they will play only well, for people just do not make recordings of performances in which someone is indisposed. The good performance, through, will be something eternal; the theater will lose everything merely momentary; it will become a large museum of all truly perfected accomplishments."

  I find it ironic that his name is almost the same as the guy who directed star wars.
