HERE is possibility that the
Metropolitan Opera House Will
- be used this summer as film
theatre. Broadway hears that plan
Of this sort is being considered by the
interests that control the big house,
aad also that Sam l.. Rothapfel,
Managing Director OF the new Riaito,
has been sounded on the subject OF
taking the artistic direction OF the
proposition. Mr.. Rothapfel Is a busy
man. but he seems TO be glutton

ish the opportunity to guide the
artistic destinies of what would prob
ably be the largest picture theatre in
this country. Naturally. the best In
films would be presented at the Met
