brilliant actress performance in
"Camille,'' shown yesterday. at the
Blue Ridge Theater, where it began
a run of three days, evinces such
a mastery OF technique and emo

the epithet to perfection. Here she
is at her best, and it is no eXaSger-

shows herself one Of the greatest

Local picturegoers will not miss
this picture. It is rarely that suca

picture, one easily understands the

that the play still thrills and de-

PRUNING OF D. C. FUNDS
CUTS IMPROVEMENTS
TO OUTLYING STREETS

Another season Of muck and mud in
wet weather and heavy dust in dry
weather faces residents on streets in
newly developed sections of the Dis
trict as a result of the application Of
! the pruning knife to request OF the
District Commissioners for funds for
street improvements. Everything was
knocked out of the requests except Tor
improvements of the main arteries of
traffic leading into and out of the Dis
trict- Not even funds for continuing
projects already started in the city were
allowed.
The requests which were allowed by
the bureau of the budget, however.
mark at least an attempt to bring the
main lines of traffic up to something
like the smooth roads of Maryland with
which they connect. In many instances
these roads are in a particularly bad
shape, consisting of badly worn ma
cadam, which is SO far gone, in fact. that
it is useless and a waste of money to
even try to repair it. Many serious
automobile accidents have been traced
directly to ruts in the highways, which
have forced the steering wheels out
of the control of the driver at the steer
ing wheel.
it has been pointed out to the Com
missioners by the officials directly in
charge Of the highways that it is use
Evening star., 1922-12-17

This fund totals more than a million
dollars. and except where noted the
streets are 100 per cent built up.
Asked for Continuing improvements.
In addition to these items, the Com
missioners asked for the following
items for the purpose Of continuing
systematic improvement:
street southeast. 18th to 18th street 81. 800
18th street northeast to l. street. 10000
9th street northwest. X TO J. street. 1900
Randolph street northwest. Randolph
street to Georgia avenue ........... 1850
Another effort also was made by the
Commissioners to have the last of the
granite block roadways in the District
replaced by smooth and modern paving
While the granite blocks in one instance
have been covered with asphalt from
the repair fund and smooth roadway
has been the result, most of the remain
ing granite block roadways are on
streets which also carry car lines. A
top layer Of asphalt cannot be laid
over these because it would have the
effect OF lowering the street-car tracks
and make the roadway dangerous.
These roadways will have to be re-
placed by specific authority of Congress.
They are on main traffic thoroughfares.
The roadways and the amounts asked
for repaving by the commissioners and
which were rejected follow:
18th street west, street north to
11th street southeast, Potomac avenue
to the Anacostia bridge ............ 80 500
street northwest, 9Th to 7th street. 11.20O
