SEES PLAYHOUSE
AS BUSINESS DEAL
Pezet Warns of Too Much
Idealism and Uplift in
Civic Venture.

Plans for a peoples theater in
Washington, as projected by club
women and civic organizations, must
not contemplate art or uplift alone,
but should be founded on a busi-
ness plane, A Washington Pezet,
dramatist and producer. told repre-
sentatives Of fifty organizations
Friday. The meeting was held TO
discuss further plans for the COM
munity theater, at the home of Mrs.
c. c. Calhoun, 1919 New Hampshire
avenue.
Pezet presented the plan for a
peoples theater in which the best
sort Of dramas could be offered to
the public at popular prices. He
ment to establish a playhouse would
be distinctly a local enterprise and
not in any sense one OF the "uplift"
efforts that have been invariably
failures. Instead, the peoples thea
ter should be a cooperative project
in which all Washington might have
a share, he said.
Mrs. Calhoun discoursed on the
need of a playhouse in which many
arts might focus, and brief ad-
dresses were made by DR.. Johnston,
of the Arts Club: William Atherton
DuPuy. and Leonard Ormerod, OF
the Press Club; Mrs. Marie Moore
Forrest, of the Community Service;
w. B. Westlske. president of the
Federation Of Citizens Associations,

Congress will send q committee Of

"a united America means an in
fuential America"
Thus did DR.. l. s. Rowe, direc-
tor general OF the Pan American
Union and president of the Ameri-
can Academy Of Political and Social
Sciences, sound the keynote of. an
address in the auditorium of the
New Museum Friday, in which
he rehearsed the parallel histories
Of the European. Latin and North
American republics.
He said: I'VE must endeavor to
secure cooperation with the South
ern republics. The frst means must
be regulating capital invested. II
q republic is dependent upon for
eign capital for development the
state will necessarily be dependent
otherwise. Secondly, the greatest
factor opposed to unity OF American
policy-distrust-mu be obliter-
ated. Lastly, American republics
must adhere to the policy hitherto
exercised. OF giving service in
preference TO seeking revenue.
South America cannot be ten
dered the sympathIes OF other ma
tions. Her individual independence
is evident. Since the establishment
OF the Monroe doctrine, population
has increased from 25. 900 to S5,-
900. 900. wealth from $1,000, ,ooo, 900
to $50, 900, ,0oo, 900, and commerce
from 100000 to $500, 900, 900.
The domestic and international
policies OF the United States must
be bounded by the ideals and prin-
ciples OF the great founders of
this republic, and that policy must
| be continental, not selfshly ma
tional. There must be no isolation,
unless America is willing to face
the responsibilities of the disaster
that will follow"
DR.. Rowe was introduced by Re-

Washington friends Of Capt
Frederic F. Stoll, of this city,
globe trotter, author and movie
producer. are mystified over his un-
explained disappearance December
26 when he left Los Angeles for
New York and Washington.
Stoll, president of the United
States Photoplay Corporation, which
engaged to produce Determine
tion," and for which much stock
was sold in Washington, wired his
secretary, c. L. Wakemsn, Decem-
Der 26 that he was leaving for New
York. He never arrived, so far as
could be learned.
Confirmation of his mysterious
absence came in a New Jersey court
when. in answer to two suits for
salaries filed against Stoll, his sec
retary submitted an affidaYit saying
Stoll had not been heard from since
December 26. Wakeman expressed
the opinion that Stoll might have
met with a severe accident or q
recurrence of a rheumatic attack
but added he could see no reason
why he did not notify his employees,
who are awaiting word to resume
work on the film depicting life in
London's slums.
Much stock Sold Here.

VIVIAN DEFENDS CLAIMS
 MADE FOR PREPARATIONS

New York, April 7.-France's determi- nation that Germany shall pay her debts, was given impressive expression by Rene Viviani, extraordinary envoy to the Unit cd States, in another day of crowded ac- tfvity in New York.
 Addressing the chamber of commerce, the former premier of France defended his country's policy in demanding war reparationS from Germany. Tonight, at a dinner given by the American Com mntee for Devastated France, he relat- ed eloquently the gratitude of his coun- trymen for Americas aid in the war and in reconstruction. In addition. the distinguished visitor attended an official reception at city hall where greetings were exchanged with Mayor Hylan.
 Although Mir, Vivani is unable to speak English, his address in his mother tongue never failed to move his audi enoes by their apparent sincerity and strength of appeal. On several occasions in his address before gathering of bus mess men at the chamber of cmomerce, the audience rose to its feet in applause because of the sheer force of feeling in his appeal. He is considered one of the greatest orators of the French nation.
 Governor Miller. It was announced to- night. has accepted an invitation to pre- side at meeting in Carnegie Hall next Monday night in MT. Vivianis honor, a, which he will present the state flag ot New York to the noted visitor.
