WANT SYLVAN THEATER
ON MONUMENT GROUNDS
Mrs. Hemmick and Mrs. Shepherd
Lead Movement for Free
Shakespearean Plays.

To provide a sylvan municipal thea
ter in Washington for the presenta-
ton of free Shakespearean plays and
other theatrical productions adapted
i, to outdoor scenery on the grounds Of
the Washington monument is the hope
of number of Shakespearean lovers
who met yesterday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. Christian D. Hemmick.
Studio House, Sheridan Circle.
Leading in the movement with Mrs.
Hemmick is Mrs. R. D. Shepherd,
known to the stage as Odette Tyler.
and for some years prior to her mar
riage one Of the stars under the direc-
ton of the late Charles Frohman.
Suggested by Mrs. Hemmick.
The idea Of securing a sylvan thea
ter occurred to Mrs. Hemmick follow
ing the presentation Of the Shake
spearean masque on the Washington
Monument grounds Saturday evening.
At glance she saw that the idea Of
would prove a great success and with
this end in view enlisted the aid Of
Mrs. Shepherd.
Together they saw Col W. W. Harris,
superintendent Of public buildings and
grounds, yesterday and motored with
him over the scene Of the proposed the
alter. His opinion was that the i'm
provements would cost in the neigh
borhood of $500. The idea in mind now
is to find some way by which Col
necessary sum needed for the pro-
posed improvement.
Washington's Good Fortune.
Washington is particularly fortunate,
according to Mrs. Hemmick. in that it
has two Shakespearean stars in Mrs
Shepherd and her husband, the latter
known to the stage as r. D. MacLean.
who are willing to give their time and
effort to the cause.
1t is proposed that Mr.. and Mrs.
Shepherd present in the spring and
spearean plays on the proposed sylvan
theater stage, and that the necessary
support can be drawn from the Wash
ington Players group. which is under
the direction of Mrs. Hemmick. From
time to time, it is suggested, other
outdoor plays can be staged there, but
the main object Is to aid the public Of
Washington to a better understanding
of. Shakespeare and his plays.
Expense Reduced to Minimum.
The topography of the site Of the
proposed theater on the Monument
grounds is such. Mrs. Hemmick says,
that the necessary expense is reduced
TO a minimum. and when the idea in
mind has been brought to a reality will.
she believes. bring the greatest good
to the greatest number"
What. has. particularly. impressed both
Mrs Hemmick and Mrs. Shepherd was the
deep interest shown in the masque of
Saturday evening by the mothers, who
came from many parts of the city with
their little ones to see the presentation,
some being on the scene three hours
before the opening of the masaue.
