THEATER PROVIDED BY U. S.
TO BE DEDICATED JUNE /
Elaborate Ceremonies to Mark the
Opening of Sylvan Playhouse
in Monument Grounds.

The National Sylvan Theater. an out
! door theater built in the southern end
| of the Monument grounds in Washing
ton, will be dedicated June 1, with
elaborate ceremonies. It is an outdoor
theater built by the United States
government, and marks the first insti-
| tuition of its kind in the United States.
France. Germany, Russia, Austria and
other continental nations have their
national or government-owned thea
ters, but the National Sylvan Theater
| is the first playhouse built by the gov
ernment, for the people. in this coun-
try.
The feat of persuading the govern
ment to build an outdoor theater was
accomplished by Mrs. Christian Hem
mick. Mrs. Hemmick has spent much of
her life abroad. and has seen the ef-
feet of goyernment-owned or national
theaters upon the public at large.
Realizing the time was not quite ripe
for the actual construction of build
ing by the government devoted entire
ly to the uplift of the drama, Mrs.
Hemmick contented herself by per-
| suading Col. w. w. Harts. the superin-
tendent of public buildings and
grounds in Washington, to include an
| outdoor theater in the appropriation
given by Congress year ago for the
beautifying Of the city. That her tire
less efforts along these lines will be
thoroughly appreciated is proven by
the list of distinguished players who
have signified their Willingness to come
| to Washington and participate in the
opening of the National Sylvan Thea
ter.
These players include Mr.. and Mrs.
E. II. Sothern CJulia Marlowe), Mr.. and
Mrs. William Faversham (Julie opp,
Mr.. and Mrs., James K. Hackett (Beat-
rice Beck1ey), Otis Skinner. Maude
! Adams. wilton Lackaye and Margaret
Anglin.
Mrs Hemmick's program for the
opening of the National Sylvan Thea
ter will comprise a series of tableaux
or spectacles, portraying the Birth Of
the Drama" the Depreciation of the
Drama" and the Triumph of the
Drama" In the Birth of the Drama"
Isadore Duncan and her pupils and
number of other singers and dancers
will participate. The United States
Marine Band of ninety pieces will fur
nish music for the occasion.

It will become necessary for Us to

there would be cause for serious
