Lighting In Future Starecraft

IN the work of the theater. almost
SINCE its infancy in our language, we
nave mad actors, managers and stage
directors. OF late years a new figure
mas made his imprint felt in the thea
trical world. Sometimes he proves to
be com bination of actor, manager
ana stage director, although his bust
ness primarily concerns itself with the
mechanical witchery of stagecraft
This new stage wizard is reyolutioniz-
ing long established theories Of stage
prouuction. He Is juggling with new
schemes OF lighting. with new ma
terials from whence to rear stage
palaces and cities, with unbelievable
color effects. And from his expert
mental juggling he Is evolving a
stagecraft that Is simpler. more strik-
ing and thousand times more ar
ustic than any we have ever known
inns stage wizard Is not a single
parsonage, although any country that
possesses even one such is, indeed,
fortunate. for In such cline the
theater Is in state of upheaval, but
more than that, in a state of progress
Perhaps the best known stage wizard
Is Max Reinhardt, of the teater in
Germany. although English has her
own, too, Gordon Craig, the son of

countries. But we possess new band

wizards of stagecraft, and In Omar.

MOVE TO OBTAIN FUNDS
FOR CHEVY CHASE SCHOOL
Steps to Be Taken at Meeting To-
morrow Night by Citizens
Societies.

Steps toward obtaining an appropria-
tion for enlarging the Chevy Chase
School, Connecticut avenue and North
ampton street. are to be taken at a
mass meeting to be held tomorrow
night at the school building. under the
auspices of the Home and School Asso-
ciaton and the citizens associations of
Chevy Chase, d. C.; Chevy Chase, Nd,
and Pinehurst, and the Connecticut
Avenue Citizens Association. Addresses
president of the board of education
Superintendent of Schools Thurston,
Commissioner Brownlow. Maj. Pay
mond Pullman and others.
For several years the necessity of
increased school facilities at Chevy
Chase has been apparent. More than
300 children now are housed in the
building. An eight-room addition to
the school and assembly hall is needed,
it is declared. The school grounds are
sufficiently large to permit the erection
of such an addition.
Unless the present building is en-
larged the school officials next year
will face a serious problem in reliev-
ing the congestion there, it is stated.
The new regulation of Congress. which
provides that residents of Maryland
employed in the District of Columb ba
have the privilege of sending their
children to the public schools of the
District of Columbia without paying
tuition is expected to result next year
in large attendance of children resi-
dents of Chevy Chase, Md, at the
Chevy Chase, D. c.. school.
