A new endowed theater at which
the best obtainable plays will be
presented by casts of players with
metropolitan regulations, and in
which the highest priced seats will
be 81 each is planned by Charming
Pollock. And" says Pollock, I'll
bet 81 900 that we will open such
theater. not next season, but in
the season Of 1924-25."
Mr.. PoIlock's enthusiasm for the
scheme is born of the experiences
of his recent lecture tour, he said.
He spoke of the nIan Sunday in
New York during g. lecture at the
Town Hall. AS he outlines his
idea, 1t appears as a combination
of an eleenosynary desire to make
it possible for persons in ordinary
circumstances to see. good drama,
and a more material wish to COM
bat the growing influence on the
popular taste of the low-priced
motion picture theater.

lures they say; but how are we
going to see good plays when
decent seats cost So, 81 and SIS or
more each? We have to go to the
movies because the movies are all
we can afford
Something should be done to
meet this situation, and / purpose
to do It.. The scheme so far is
sketchy: it's more or less in the
dream stage, but it can be made to
come true.
THE idea is to lease theater
with a seating capacity Of about

too big for the proper presentation
of good plays. There should be

Anna Propp is only of half-pint

only listened to the noises from

out to the pavilion in the garden

flowing robes. We went over many
of the old songs, at random and
touched some of the newer music

promise, reading the necessary
consent in Avery's controllir5

smoked his cigars, saying nothing,
evidently preoccupied with some
mysterious thoughts. He raised
his head to give polite nod of
acquiesence, allowing us two to
enjoy all of the enthusiasm of this
little improvised concert. Sudden
ly, at 10 o'clock, he himself gave
the signal, fastened the separation
and adieux, and led me towards
the end Of the garden, the entire
length of a circular path, from
which we could look upon a de-
serted silent street. We were walk
ing rapily when all at once a loud
cry was heard. There were plead
ings. a concert Of irritated voices,
the sound of hard blows exchanged
by men fighting very close to us.
We saw three men fighting with

Avery took my arm, and muttered

Meanwhile two of the combatants
seemed to fall Upon the third and
the fight was soon over. We saw

at Avery; he was pale but impas-

risks inevitable in such a grouping
under the authority of foremen,
and the police had been more for
maly than serviceable.
But since the completion of the

people of workmen had understood
that after having finished thci-
work, they had the right to live in
it, and to live there in idleness, it
was not the same thing, and out
