REPORT ABOUT THEATER.
Possibility Of Klaw & Erlanger Build
ing One Here.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 19.-William Casey. a
press representative connected with Will
liam Morris, booking agent for Klaw &
Erlanger would make no direct announce
ment this afternoon in regard to Klaw &
Erlanger erecting the theater on the site of
st. Matthew's Church, Washington. He ad-
mitted, however, that his reticence was due
only to the fact that he had no authority
to make a statement and practically con-
flrmed the report. Mr.. Klaw is in Europe.
and Mr. Erlanger could not be seen this
morning.
The report from New York that the
United States Amusement Company. the
corporate name of Klaw and Erlanger's ad-
vance vaudeville enterprises, has purchased
the site of the old st. Matthews Church. at
the corner Of 18th and H streets northwest.
is denied by Father Lee. pastor of the
church., who Is in charge Of the property.
The report is to the effect that the theatre
cal syndicate intends to erect vaudeville
house on the site with a seating capacity Of
$500.
Rumors of the sale Of st. Matthew's
Church site have been very frequent ever
since the congregation moved to a new To-
cation on Rhode Island avenue. 1t Is re-
garded as one of the most desirable sites
in the business district. The price at which
1t is held is said to be $425,OOO.
1t is believed that Klaw and Erlanger
would likeivery much to secure the site and
that they are negotiating for It.
