The Rams Head
And Its Ideals

<<"HE theater has no prece-
DENTS" is an accepted
axiom among enthusi-
astic supporters of the drama,
and they point to the countless
changes engendered by time and
circumstances. Every week sees
the stage undergoing modifica-
tons. Lighting effects, manners
Of production, direction. styles in
plays, and innumerable other
phases Of the theater are con-
stantly being subjected to new
thoughts, new ideas and new
minds.
It will be recalled that Eugene
O'Nein started his playwrighting
career in a wharf theater in Prov
incetown, Mass, and since his
rapid-fire rise Broadway pro-
ducers have discovered that the
miniature playhouses are exploit
ing actors, actresses, directors
and playwrights of genuine worth.
Such is the type Of playhouse
recently inaugurated by Robert
Bell at 1854 Eighteenth street
northwest. Mr.. Bells aim in es-
tablishing this odd haven Of the
drama was two-fold: First, to
give the public that which the
commercial theater had failed to
give it, and second, to supply an
outlet for aspiring playwrights
who were unwilling to attempt
battering down the barriers that
surround Broadway. Also, he
hopes to provide medium
through which ambitious play
wrights may see their brain
children come to life and flourish.
He wants to read manuscripts.
and asks that those Washing
tonians who have suggestions to
offer write him, phone him, or,
better yet, call in person.
Further, Mr.. Bell wishes to say
that his Rams Head Playhouse
is a "theater." not a select So
ciety affair, not a club OF exclu-
sive dramatically inclined enthu-
siasts. And that the public %
always welcome.

Then came the great tragedy,
or what was 50 to him. the great
tragedy of his daughter leaving

Salarino and Solanio ask, How

"Shylock turns on them and
does not reply to their question.

Q question Of the individual
actor.
There are many fine actors
and actresses who are capable Of
great work in both types of
dramatic art and assuming that
they have had sound and varied
experience in both branches in
the early days of their careers,
believe they find each equally
difficult in their own particular
ways.
Modern comedy is generally
more pregnant with fine shaded
subtlety and requires a deft like.
ness of touch. Classical drama
and tragedy often require greater
physical strength, more technical
ability to sustain them and a
greater breadth Of treatment
than comedy.

histrionic powers to convey in look
and gesture, intonation and in the
carriage Of ones body, all the hOr-
rors through which Anna has gone

when, at the last, her physical
charms have awakened love in the
soul of Mat Burke so that he offers
her a safe haven. It would have

Dear Sir:
1t goes without saying that we,
as producers of the series of
repertoire performances at the
President Theater,. were excep-
tionally interested in the very in
genious suggestion recently made
by you in the Times Herald, i. e.,
the declaration Of general holi.
day to celebrate the astonishing
length Of engagement achieved
by Abie's Irish Rose" which we
are about to start on it's eleventh
and final week at the President
on Sunday. February 4.
AS we remember, your idea en-
braced the erection of a species
Of reviewing stand in front of the
President Theater, upon which
the honorable Commissioners of
the District Of Columbia were to
stand before vast concourse of
members Of the Ancient Order Of
Hibernians, the Independent Order
of B'nai Birth, as we'll as other
citizens and residents Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, while the afore-
said Commissioners presented, on
behalf Of the two orders men,
toned, an honorary jews-harp in
token of "Abie's' remarkable
ability to enchant the local
populace.
The idea appealed to us as one
OF the utmost novelty and appeal
and one that caused us to bend
every effort toward carrying it
out to a successful consumma.
ton. Unfortunately, however, we
have discovered that the Honor
able Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia seem to enter
tain a peculiar and undemocratic
prejudice toward lending their
august presences and offices tn
such an essentially praiseworthy
undertaking and we have been
confidentially advised that such
a proposal would be looked upon
with the greatest disfavor.
Nevertheless, we are utterly
loath to completely abandon an
idea Of such peculiar appropriate
ness and the upshot Of the whole
affair is the acceptance by the
management of plan to have
a celebration of our own which
the entire membership Of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians and
the Independent Order of B'nai
Birth, as well as all other men,
bers of the citizenry. are hereby
urged to attend.
We have, in short, arrived at a.
decision to close the phenomenal
run Of "Abie's Irish Rose" on the
occasion Of its Tooth consecutive
performance. which, happily
enough, will fall on Saturday
night Of next week. February 10.
On that particularly felicitious &C..
casion, we sincerely solicit the
honor Of your own presence to

pose TO observe. In other words,
