eyes on the beautiful playhouse.
A wonderful group of artists of in

In addition. every night will be
named after different distinguished
local organizations, and eminent
speakers will tell of the uplifting
influence the Keith management
has eXerted upon Washington in
it's encouragement of every move

social life. Washington hardly
needs reminding of keith's help
during the great war and subse-

thrown wide for every character of
organization. and today a church is
sheltered there on Sunday morn
