Letter from Bernhardt

One item of the performance brought
forth tremendous applause. This was
when Mr.. Hackett read a letter from
Nine. Sarah Bernhard, in which she
wrote of her regret at not being able
to be present.
Despite the acoustic deficiencies
deficiencies which are practically GER
tain to prove a handicap in any large
open-air theatre the National Sylvan
Theatre is a real addition to the attrac-
tions of the capital. II is beautifully
situated on the slope toward the Poto-
mae, and provides an auditorium excel
lently suited 10 the production of word
less Mosques and pageants. AS no
seats are allowed 70 be sold, it affords
a truly democratic centre of amuse-
ment-a centre which with proper di-
rection may very well come to mean
something in Washington's artistic life.
Those who love the drama as an art
will hope that Congress may realize
this, and that from it something really
tangible may rise in the shape OF
permanent national theatre.
Mrs. Hemmick's efforts toward this
end are worthy of all support. and her

The first part was laid on Olympus,
the second in medieval England and the

Says DR.. Tenner
Dear Mr.. Seixas:

Dear Mr. SeiXaS
The methods of illumination in vogue in
our large cities subject the eyes of modern
workers to great strain. Granted that the
electric light is great convenience, comfort
and even luxury and that by the too rarely
used. expensive method Of indirect lighting it
can be freed of all injurious effect upon the
ewes. nevertheless the intense glare of the cleo
trio light must be charged with being respon-
sibe for many cases Of eye strain.
For many of these tired workers suffering
from numerous reflex symptoms such as head
aches and fatigue rather than poor sight, what
is needed are not glasses, but few weeks va
cation out Of the city.
The rest to the eyes afforded by the green
panoplv of nature the tonic effects of the
change of scene are incalculable. For such
neople a vacation is not merely a comfort and
Measure it is an actual medical necessity
