NEW SITE FOR A PARK
LIKELY TO Be URGED
Commissioners May Recon-
mend Patterson Tract In
stead of Mt. Hamilton.

Although the purchase of Mount Ham
ilton fer park purposes was recommend
cd by the District Of Columbia Co mis-
loners in their estimates tr9 nsritt 70
tngress a year ago. the project may be
4rmanently abandoned. it was learned
,day.
Purchase of the eighty-one acres COM
osing this tract, which is situated OPP
este Mt O.ivet cemetery. east Ct the
.ladensburg road and north of N street
,.ortheast, was provided for IN the es-
Inmates at cost of $4,000
Patterson Tract Favored.
The Commissioners now have In mind.
It is understood, the acquisition Of the
Patterson tract. lying north of Florida
avenue and between New York avenue
extended and the Columbia Institution
for the Deaf, which is believed to be more
ideally located for park purposes than
Mount Hamilton.
While no definite decision in the mat
ter has ben reached. 1t is considered
probable that the Patterson tract Will
be included in the list OF park i'm
provements to be provided for in the
next estimates, with Mount Hamilton
eliminated.
Many residents of the northeast sec
thin Of the city have communica ted
with the local government authorities
a preference for the former
site. which is now used as a play
ground. and is near rapidly develop
ing part of Washington. Mount Hamil-
ton, it is urged. is too far out from the
built up localities to be Of much use as
a park.

No discords crept in to mar THE Con-
cert. presented by the Poll Players last
night before an audience that completely
filled the Avenue playhouse The many
notes of hunoi., the strains of philosophy
and the themes Of love We're accurately

comedy with which the audience was en-
Enthusiastically pleased.
In this play, which is ranked as one Of
the recent Belasco successes. there are
opportunities for character sketchjng
worthy of the highest aims of the Poll
company. The playe assumed the re-
sponsibl tiles capably and fully, augment

Columbia.

When an audience that literally packs
a theater to the doors sits and laughs
and applauds until after midnight it may
be reasonably inferred that something
good Is happening and that everybody
is happy. This happened at the Column
b!a Theater last evening. when that SPLEEN
lid dramatic organization the Columbia
Players, larked through comedy with
Incidental music. called The Time, the
Place and the Girl and, as il to turn
things absolutely topsy turvy, Harry
Andrews. the stage director. became for
the time being an impresario and con-
Quoted the orchestra, acquitting himself
with exceptional credit. Even the pro-
grom. in keeping with the' occasion, turn

to the devoted admirers present "all

for there were many. very many persons

Washington has become familiar as 1.-The
Columbia Players to Miss Dorothy
Bernard must easily go first hcnors for
finding herself completely at home in
musical comedy, although Mr. Van Buren,,
Miss Thatcher, Arthur Richie and
Everett Butterfield also had their brief
| moments of melodic success.
1T Is possible there were present those
who did not lose themselves in the de-
iirium of the night, but remembered the

Place and the Girl and hoped that the
cool weather would not make next week

they discreetly kept it to themselves and
simply waited and hoped.
| The Time, the Place and the Girl" "a
comedy with incidental music in three
acts-books and lyrics by Hough and
Adams = music by Joseph f. Howard -
staged under the direction of Mr. Harry
Andrews" is a laughable congiomera-
ton Of complicatio MS and commonplace
slang. with many bright lines and ludi-
crous moments. 1t is not new. and it has
not been hurtled down 1.-The corridors of
time with an Immortality tag pinned to
its coattails. But it made big audience
laugh and applaud and applaud and

That certainly means something.

not have done this all by itself. There
