The Punch and Judy Theatre, which
is a curious conglomeration of an old

churches, with little boxes hung on the
walls which make their occupants look
as If they were going to drop out any
minute and other interesting affecta-
tons. was built frankly for the enjoy
ment of its owner, who likes to act
there.
The Punch and Judy Theatre, on
F~orty-ninth street east of Broadway,
was built by Charles Hopkins, an
actor-manager. The Punch and Judy
Theatre is the third of its class to be
opened in New York. The stage is
large enough to produce any sort Of
entertainment from comedy to comic
opera. Its dimensions are thirty feet
from f~ootlights to back wall and
thirty-nine feet between the side walls.
There are several theatres of extensive
seating capacities in New York which
have stages of smaller dimensions.
From the footlights to the front of the
auditorium is forty-nine feet. There
are eighteen rows Of seats. In addi-
ton to these two hundred and forty
seven seats there are ~fifty-two seats
in the boxes, which run around the
three sides of the mezzanine floor.
These boxes accommodate two, three,
our and sin persons each.
The auditorium is constructed and
decorated in a modern adaptation Of
old English. The ceilings are lofty
and heavily beamed and furnished
with old English candle fixtures carry
ing electric lamps. The boxes are
decorated with valanccs of tapestry in
imitation of the period IF Louis XIII.

boast of the promoters Of the enter
prise that they have so far been able
to keep the playhouse self-supporting.
During the past eight years the fes-
tival groups of the Henry Street Set
Element have presented seasonal festi-
walls and pantomimes in the gymna-
stun of the settlement, n for the last
three years the dramatic club Of the
Henry Street Settlement, now to be
called the ~Neighborhood Players. has
presented at Clinton Hall such plays
as The Shepherd by Olive Tilford
Dargan. and The Silver Box by
John Galsworthy. These productions
reached a point where the development
Of the players, the interest Of the audi
ences n the response of the neigh
borhood seemed to emand the erec-
ton of the Neighborhood Theatre.
The policy Of the N~e.ghborhood
Playhouse is directed by an advisory
group. the members of which are
Lillian D. Valid. Max Morgenthau, Jr..
Rita Morgenthau and the regular pro-
ducing staff. consisting of Sarah
Cowell lie Moyne, Alice Lewisohn.
Irene Lewisohn, Agnes Morgan and
Helen Arthur. The architects Of the
playhouse were Harry Creighton In
gals and F. Burial Hoffman. Jr., who
designed the Little Theatre for Win
throp Ames.
The architecture Of the Ne!ghbor-
hood Playhouse was determined largely
by the character OF the original build
ings in its neighborhood. The exterior
Is Georgian, and the interior, while
based on Georgian principles. Is not
intended to represent any particular
style or period. The facade is of light
red brick with marble trimmings. The
third story, which is set back from
the street, is of stucco. The entrance
doors are green and the shutters OF
the windows green. Iron lanterns
hang at either side Of the door over
the white poster boards. which were
decorated by Esther Peck.
The entrance on Grand street leads
into a vestibule at the side of which Is
the box office. The walls and ceiling
are treated in old ivory and the floor is
of black and white marble tiles. From
the vestibule a door lead into the
foyer, at the opposite side of which a
door leads W to the balcony and m
other door down to the coat room in
the basement. The walls and ceiling
of the foyer are also treated in old
ivory and the floor is covered with
cork thing to minimize all sound. Here
an innovation will be found in the
shape Of a small bookstand, where
paper covered editions Of modern
American and English plays can DO
purchased.
From the foyer two doors lead into
the auditorium. This room although

auditorium is equipped with the most
modern ventilating system.
The stage Is twenty-five feet deep.
n fifty feet wide and has a height
of thirty-five feet. which on account
of the proportions Of the proscenium
opening is ample for the production
of any play.
A distinctive feature of the Neigh
borhood Playhouse is its third floor,
which has been planned to meet the
requirements of its many activities.
Across the front runs a large rehearsal
room which will be used for occa-
sional dances as we'll as for regular
class work. This room can he divided
by sliding doors into two huge dress
ing rooms. ZACH OF which in turn
can be further subdivided by movable
screens into as many dressing rooms
as are required. Besides these there
are two individual dressing rooms and
a bathroom. For the productions Of
the Neighborhood Players II has been
thought best to concentrate the proc
G 5 OF making up in one room and
a special makeup room has been ar
ranged for this purpose. on this floor
are also the property and costume
rooms, a small greenroom and coat
rooms. Here too is a kitchenette,
which will be used in serving refresh
ments for social gatherings or for the
cast when long rehearsals are in
progress.
The fiat tiled roof Will be used in
warm weather for n playground and
for dances as we'll as for open air per-
formanCes. All of the staircases, gem
erous in their size and capacity. lead
to the roof and are ingeniously on
structed SO that the building can be
used for varied purposes and yet be
perfectly safe. While the auditorium
is in use as a theatre the other parts
Of the building can be used for other
activities and the two sets Of people
kept entirely separate from EACH other.
The weekly programmes are divided
into two distinct forms of entertain
ment. on Saturday and Sunday eve
nings the Neighborhood Players will
present many plays new to New York
audiences. in some instances by un-
known American playwrights. and &C.
~casionally there will be performances
in English and in Yiddish by visiting
companies of well known artists. Sat
urday and Sunday afternoons will be
devoted to programmes of special in
terest to children and will include
seasonal festivals. pantomime ballets
and fairy plays presented by the Fes-
tival Groups.
on Tuesdays, Wednesdays. Thurs
days and Fridays the programmes will
consist of moving pictures. playlets,
camera talks. folk songs and dances,
illustrated fairy tales, m~arion,ttes and

Auditorium of the Neighborhood Playhouse.
Theatrical Season Just Past Has Seen
a Rapid Development of the
Vogue of the Playhouse
in Miniature

~ HE present theatre season has
seen a surprising increase in
the number of little theatres
in this city. Not long ago the
manager who wanted to give a pay in
a small theatre had to go to the
Berkeley Lyceum or the crypt Of Car
negie Hall SO limited was the number
Of playhouses of a so-called intimate
character. Winthrop Ames built his
Little Theatre. which Is now to be
enlarged. Then the others followed
with a rush. This season saw the
opening Of the Punch and Judy. the
Neighborhood and the Bramhall
theatres. The Bandbox Theatre,
formerly known as the Phillip. was
this year reopened for English per-
formances. The Princess makes six
OF these small half portion theatres,
as they have been called by the face
tlous.
None Of these little playhouses is as
small as the Bramhall. which is stu
ated So far from the theatrical centre
as Lexington avenue and Twenty
seventh street. 1t seats only 225 per-
sons. There is a small gallery. The
building was originally a dwelling
house. Later 1t was used as a Free
Mason's lodge. then as a synagogue.
One has always the impression that
the play is being given in the back
parlOr, so small IL the auditorium.
The manner of Illuminating the in
terror Is original. Through the long
French windows there falls what
seems daylight. The comfortable
chairs are not like the average theatre
seat, but are really seats that might
be in a drawing room. Gold and gray
are the two co.ors used in the decora-
ton.
The usual number of seats Is 200,
since that keeps a theatre within the
Law which makes 1t unnecessary to
have a p~assageway on either side Of
the playhouse. Then there are other
exemptions which make the burdens
on the proprietor less than they would
be for the ordinary theatre. The ar
tistic side Of the matter a been OF
no more Importance than the business
advantages which these small play
houses possess.
Tn Neighborhood Theatre has been
one Of the most successful of the new
little theatres. 1t has been a self
supporting enterprise from the first.
Ethel Barrymore and Gertrude Kings
ton are among the actresses who have
gone down there to play. and there
have been many other interesting
theatrical enterprises for the benefit Of
the neighborhood. 1t is the proud

harmonizes with the color scheme

The large attendance which

PORTLAND. Me-. Dec. 0. .

NOhA LAASbs mc.s DcS. ..
Adam and Eve are shivering in
the snow In the Maine woods!
They're barefoot and bare
shouldered.
Adam and Eve in city life are
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter F. Estes.
A few weeks ago they entered
the forests to act out the sort OF
existence which must have been
that OF the real Adam and Eve.
Except for a courier who brings
word of their safety now and then
to Portland, they see M human
being from week to week.
And undaunted by the wintry
gales, they intend to continue liv-
Ing alone by their wits and wood
craft until the middle of Decem-
ber.
Estes was famous in Gray, Me-.
As q woodsman. He believed that,
lost In the forest, without so much
AZ q match or knife or shred VI
human clothing, he could not only
survive. but actually enjoy life.
when we entered the woods
first" said Estes, I'VE took big
leaves and wove them together
with grass. Then we tied them
about our shoulders and waists.
Later We made suits of birch
bark. covered with leaves, and
when we finally caught a deer i'm
trap we were able to make suits
of skin.
"The next task was to build a
fire. IT took me about 20 min
utes rubbing two logs briskly to-
gether to get a spark from which
! could light dry leaf. Mrs. Estes
slept that night on the ground
In a downpour, while l stayed up
and struggled to keep a fire going.
THE next day we got our shell
ter built.
IT'S easy enough to get food.
We bowl over rabbits and porcu-
pines with rocks, we catch trout in
the streams with birch bark trap
and there are scores of edible
roots and green's"
