Bohemians Reported
Trying to Purchase
The Village Theater

Reports concerning the purchase of
the Greenwich Village Theater by the
Boherians, Inc, the producers of the
Greenwich Village Follies, through their
managing directors, A. L. Jones and
Morris Green, have been circulated
through theatrical circles for the past
week.
Each year the Greenwich Village
Follies opens at the Village Tkeater,
and it seems quite reasonable that the
Bohemlans, Inc, would like to control
that house. At the present time they
rent the Village Theater for the Green
wich Village Follies, 1920. Now that
the Follies has becomes established as
yearly theatrical event, it is natural
the Bohemians wish to have a house
under their control, as theaters are
scarce.
The Greenwich Village Theatcr is
! leased by Frank Conroy and Harold
Meltzer, who have shown no great de-
sire to part with their lease, which has
some time yet to run.
If the Bohemians secure the Green
wich Village Theater they contemplate
making important changes They will
try to secure property adjoining the
theater on Seventh Avenue and also
on Fourth Street, and the present
theater will be remodeled. The stage
will be enlarged and the seating ca
pac3y on the main floor and in the
balcony increased.
The plans of the Bohemians cor
template the building of green room
back stage, and this will be decorated
by Village artists. A costume library
at the theater is another innovation
in the scheme of the Bohemians. This
h. Il
prints of costumes of all countries
and OF every epoch There will also
be play reading department, which
it Is thought will be under the direc-
tion of Thomas Gray, and a depart
ment Of music with a complete library,
and for this A. Baldwin Sloane is men
toned to have charge of the music
section. Very naturally, the name of
John Murray Anderson is mentioned
with the Department Of Stage Craft.
Richard Dolliver, who is the general
stage director for the Bohemians, will
be an important factor in this depart
ment.
BY way Of enabling young play
wrights TO obtain hearing, the Bo-
hemlans would devote the summer
months at the Greenwich Village The
alter to the presentation of new plays
by young authors. For these summer
performances only small admission
could be charged. The idea is to give
these new plays a popular presentation
For these plays there would be spc-
clal company Of young people who wish
to have an opportunity to show their
ability for acting. Besides these
dramatic productions, concerts would
be given on certain nights Of the week,
and these concerts will introduce new
singers and compositions to New York

CAN FIGHT WORLD
Organizations So Strong, Need
No Supporting International
Revolutions, Envoy States
HAVE HUGE STORE OF GOLD
BY the Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 26.-Russian soviet
organizations have become "strong
enough to fight the world" Ludwig c.
A. *. Martens, soviet agent to the
United States, told Senate investigat-
ing committee today.
Because of this. he said. the soviets
have ceased to urge international revo-
luton to support them.
The Russian soviets have between
$3.50 900 900 and $500 900. 900" in the
public treasury, Martens said, which it
was now desired to spend in foreign
countries on the purchase of necessities
There was now no gold in the hands
of private banks or individuals in
Russia, he added.
Martens, who began his testimony
last week just before the committee
postponed its sessions, was the first
witness to be called today. He will be
followed by members of his embassy
staff.
Particular interest was lent Mar
tcns's testimony because of his state
mept that he would testify to facts in =
volviug Department of Justice agents
in radical activities.
