The death Of John W. Albaugh. which
was announced in The Star yesterday,
brings up many recollections of the vet
eran manager who was long SO intimately
connected with theatricals in both Wash
ington and Baltimore.
1t is not appreciated by many Of the
younger generation that MIR. Albaugh was
an actor. as well a manager. 1t has
been a, good many years since he actu-
ally played, but he began his theatrical
career in that way. He adopted the
stage as profession at the age of eight
cen and appeared first in the Fall Of
Tarquin'' at the old Baltimore Museum.
one of the earlier playhouSes of Baltt-
moro, that has since been torn down. Jo-
seph Jefferson was at that time the man
ager of the theater, and 1t was then that
he and young Albaugh formed a friend
ship that continued till the death of the
original Rip Van Wrinkle. He afterward
got the Hamlet infection which catches
all actors sooner or later and appeared
in that play. as well as one written by the
elder Booth.
He made good as an actor. but his bust
ness ability was in the line of manage
ment. 1t was some time. however, before
he quit the active work Of the profession.
He became member of the old stock
company at the Holiday Street Theater in
Baltimore and was associated with such
tern, Edwin Forrest. the elder Sothern,
James Wallack and Edwin Booth.
In 1866 he married Mary Mitchell,
sister of the celebrated actress, Maggie
Mitchell, and toured the country in classic
repertoire. He saw more opportunity for
himself as a manager than actor,
and finally secured the management OF
the Olympic Theater in St. Louis. He
then got hold of the Holiday Street Thea
ter in Baltimore, and later came to Wash
in fn of the National
When the Washington Light Infantry
built it's present armory Mr.. Albaugh Sc
cured the theatrical rights to the house
and managed it successfully for ten
years.
The erection of the present Belasco
Theater was the project Of John w. AL
baugh. 1t was his dream for years to
have first-class theater in Washington.
and he put through the plan after long
fight.
There were a number of sites discussed
before the present location was really
selected. It was reported that ground
had been bought on H street between 18th
and 14th streets, and again that site
had been secured on G street.
Finally to the surprise of every one.
Mr.. Albaugh got ninety -nine-year lease
on the old Blaine property, where the
theater now stands. The lease was Sc
cured January II, 1895, and preparations
were made at once for tearing down the
old house.
There was quite a furore over it at the
time, and Senator Cameron. who owned
the adjoining property not only protested
at having a theater next to his property,
but introduced resolution in Congress
for the purchase of the property, includ
ing the Albaugh lease, by the govern
ment. This matter was fought over for
almost a month"; and the resolution passed
the Senate but was killed in the House.
The theater was finally built and after
ward sold to David Belasco and his asso-
ciates. who have managed the house ever
since.

VOLUNTARY ABSTINENCE.
Movement to Accomplish Reform in
Army and Navy.

The program for the five-day joint con-
ference OF national temperance and re-
form organizations. to be held in this CITY,
has been completed. The movement will.
be inaugurated next Sunday afternoon at
o'clock, when mass meeting will be
held in the First Congregational Church
to bring about total abstinence conditions
in the army and navy. The meeting has
no reference to the anti-canteen law or
prohibition, but will be devoted wholly to
arguments for voluntary abstinence in the
army and navy and elsewhere. No action
will be taken toward actual organizations
which will be left for initiation to officers
and men III the army and navy them
selves.

a member of the Senate committee on the
District of Columbia, VII. preside and de-
liver an address. Richmond Pearson Hob
son will make the main address and Gen.
Daggert and others will make short
speeches. Secretary of War Dickinson,
who explains that he will be unable to at
tend the meeting. has written a letter to
the committee in charge in which he
says:
Il believe in everything that encourages
voluntary abstinence, both within and
without the army. All other things being
equal. the man who abstains is better
qualified to be useful and laW-abiding
citizen, and to promote his own happiness
and that of his family and friends. One
OF the greatest burdens upon our country
is that of crime which is the direct result
of drink. When the Romans achieved
their greatest successes they were water
drinkers
