Washington is fast acquiring
(. itself a place in the expert
mental theater world, since the
Rams Head Players, launching
their third season, have put the
National Capital on the "art''
map without question. Art for
the public, too; not for q limited
group.
Tonight these ardent thes-
plans open their new and re-
markably beautiful house at
Wardman Park-a theater that
boasts the finest in decoration,
comfort and stage and lighting
effects.
In these colorfnl and charm.
ing surroundings they are des-
tined to do big things, under
the leadership Of Robert Bell,
who organized them and has
been their guiding star for
two years.
This new theater is something
to be proud Of. It seats AS,
and has a stage that is con-
trOlled electrically in the latest
and most modern fashion. Eu-
gene Waggaman is the architect
who designed this haven of art,
while James Reynolds, the Rams
Head art director and one of
Americas most accomplished
scenic and costume artists, Is

standard set by its predecessors

into the entertainment but their
vehicle is so thin most OF their
efforts went for naught.
Ralph Walton and Jean Mccoy

Unhappy End To
Her Last Essay

The fiction of Laura Jean
Libbey always had a happy
ending, and it was one of the
few boasts Of this authoress
of romance that this was So.
When she penned about facts
las she did when she wrote
her will, probated in New
York yesterday somber
note closed it all.
For she left to her hus-.
band, Van Mater Stilwell,
the sum Of S. from her large
estate, and directed the
maker Of her tombstone to
omit his name from its
sculpture.
Furthermore, her husbands
body was barred from her
burial plot by a testament
tary injunction. The au-
thoress, who thrilled thou
sands in the crinoline and
lavender age Of romance, and
who died recently in her
Brooklyn home, left an estate
of more than $4,000 in realty
and $1,000 in personal prop
erty.

HERE'S AN EXTRA
KNOCK FROM

Crumbs from the table OF John
Golden's Play Contest are sought
by the Pasadena Community
Players. They are building
new playhouse, which is to be
ready for occupancy about April
1, 1925. For their opening bill,
they want to present an original
drama of American authorship.
Each newspaper cooperating
with Mr.: Golden may send only
one play for final consideration.
In the wedding out, any number
OF good plays may have to be
rejected; and It Is these that the
Pasadenans want the privilege Of
considering, in the hope Of find.
ing among them something worth
putting on in their new play
house.
Most generously, Mr.. Golden
has given his consent to such an
dramatic editor of The Times

Pasadena Community Players
such plays that come to him
which he cannot send to New
YORK, put which he feels merit
further consideration. This will
give contestants another chance
for production. A royalty of $3.50
a week Is offered.
Professor George Pierce Baker
of the famous forty-seven
workshop course in playwriting
at Harvard, recently inspected
the plans for the new com.
munity playhouse in Pasadena
