An Anniversary Renaissance.

A ANNIVERSARIES always suggest
"reminiscences, and the nearness
Of L. Stoddard Taylor's anniversary
as a Washington theater manager
has suggested the following:
That master of audience psychol-
ogy. David Belasco. was one Of the
first theater owners to appreciate the
Importance Of external surroundings
in creating a receptive frame Of mind
in the spectator. His Belasco Theater

Its pleasing murals. its rich draperies
and its mountaineering rugs and
carpets all serve to create a sense Of
Sanctuary; the patron subcon-
sciously is predisposed toward play

matte EFFORT, not mere hall of seats

the hope of being entertained.

was his mission to wipe out memories
of the cheap and create an impress

How difficult was that task and how
arduous the struggle none but the
manager himself will ever know and
perhaps few appreciate.
But in the course of time this was
accomplished. He named 1t the
Playhouse Beautiful" and 1t became
that in fact. thanks to innumerable
deft additions here, renovations
there and discriminating taste every

managerial world that tho Belasco
Theater Of Washington attracted the
most fashionable and distinguished
first-night audiences in America, and
its list Of regular patrons read like

handicap of an track
