Curtis on the job.

Edwin II. Curtis is to resume his old
position as stage director of the Column
bia Players. He will arrive In the city
Tuesday morning to resume the duties. of
the position in which he has proved so
eminently satisfactory during the past
two seasons. Already Ernest Mauglin
is on the scene hard at work directing
the painting of the stage settings for
the opening production of The Rose Of
the Rancho" which, il is promised, will
be one of the most elaborate and beauti-
full productions ever attempted by a
stock company in this country.
For over a week past Mr.. Curtis has
been in consultation with David BeIasco,
and his stage director, vino was in charge
Of the production originally when Frances
Starr achieved her conquest in the part
in which the Columbia's leading lady will
shortly be seen here.
Before the end of the present week
the entire company will be in the city
and rehearsals under way. Both Mama
gers Metzerott and Berger are delighted
with the selections of players. and be-
heve they are justified in promising the
biggest and greatest company they have
ever assembled. This organization will
be further supplemented from time to
time by the special engagement of New
York fsvorites when the character of
the parts so require.

The Majestic's Plans.

The Majestic Theater, at Ninth street
and Pennsylvania avenue northwest. has
been added as another link in the chain
OF theaters in Washington operated by
Tom Moore, known here and all over
the United States as the motion picture
magnate OF Washington.
Mr.. Moore has just completed negotia-
| tons for the possession of the Majestic,
and he proposes to maintain his reputa-
ton of giving the theater-going public
Of Washington both a quality and guam
tity show for the money. He announces
that the policy OF the Majestic will be
both vaudeville and the home OF special
film productions, as well as novel acts.
and the innovation OF an admission OF
but cents for any seat in the house at
the matinees and 10 cents in the even
ings for any seat will prove interesting
to the amusement loving public and when
il is realized a bill of ten feature attrac-
tions will be offered for these small ad-
mission prices il will be admitted that
never before has such entertainment been
offered at these prices here.
Believing that the time is ripe for such
amusement offering here. and that the
public wHll patronize the Majestic to the
same liberal extent the people of New
York and other large cities are patronlz-
ing similar and 10 cent vaudeville and
picture shows, Mr.. Moore intends to al
ways offer the very best variety Of
vaudeville. and does not believe the dis
advantage Of location of crossing the
Avenue will have any effect on the at
tendance.
With a seating capacity Of 1,4Oo, he is
firm in. the belief that the patronage
will always be at capacity.
Tomorrow corps of painters and
renovators will begin the work OF pre-
pairing for the opening. announcement
of which will be made in The Washing
ton Herald at an early date.
