For the first time in many months,
Washington is without q single legit-
innate attraction, the vaudeville and
motion picture houses holding undis-
puted sway. The pretentious efforts
of the members of the Shubert-Gar-
rick stock organization were unable
to overcome the hot weather inertia
of the confirmed Washington theater-
goer and the organization closed its
run last night.
What next season will bring forth
Is still q problem. True, there are
r,imors of a decided change of policy
on the part of one OF the theaters,
yet being a rumor is still in the
speculative stage. In the meantime,
the management of the Gayety

tons of the Columbia Amusement
Company, is the first in the field
with its announcement Of re-opening
