BELL OUTLINES
RAMS HEAD
POLICIES

n connection with the early
completion Of the new theatef at
Wardman Park and its formal
opening BY the Rams Head Play
ers, Robert Bell, director OF the
company, makes the tollowing
statement In explanation Of their
aims and plans for the season.
The Rams Head Players are q
professional company Of actors
directors, and designers, present
ing this season 3 series Of six
plays, every play representing q
distinct form 81 dramatic art and
being one Of the best plays Of It's
kind. In this respect they Hre
educational.
while every play presented Will
have literary merit, plays are not
chosen because they are high
brow" but because they are be.
lieved to have In them gooo dral
matte material which should be
appreciated by all people who
care for drama. They therefore
present an attractive form Ct en-.
tertainmeilt.
aThe plays win be presented
with the knowledge OF the best IN
modern stagecraft, particular at
tention being paid to the settings
which win be under the direction
OF James Reynolds, one Of the
finest stage designers in the cOuT1-
try. Their new theater being one
Of the most beautiful and best
equipped, is d fitting setting for
their productions. They therefore
represent the hest In art.
1.-THE Rams Head Players play
only six performances q week,
Changing their bits no more FREE
uuentiy than every two weeks.
They allow sufficient time for re-
hearsaIs to create productions
which could not be more carefully
prepared II intended for a met.
ropolitan run. They are there
fore q repertory, not stock com.
pany.
Every regular performance is
open to the general public, the
price OF tickets being such thai
there will be good seats suitable
to the pockeEbool1s OF all. They
are therefore within the reach Of
everybody.
.'They are offering ct special
rates q large number of season
tickets, each ticket permitting the
holder the choice of a seat for
each production over the box Of
flee sale, as well as the oppOrtu-
nifty Of attending q number Of
play readings ana talks on the
drama by distinguished authors,
actors and producers. They are
building a sympathetic audience,
similar to the subscribers Of the
Theater Guild Of New York.
"In conclusion let me empha.
size that at our new theater az
Wardman Park, we are not a
private institution, not catering
solely to a ''highprow audience,
and while we hope 70 so interest
the people Of washington ii our
plans that we shall obtain at
least a thousand subscribers FOR
this season. The theater viii be
open to the pubic at all times,
as in any other playhouse in the
city"

Gunnison friends Of the family were
Rrieved and not little surprised on
learning this week Of the death Of
John Edwin Kirkho6 which occurred
last Friday, The 22nd. at Westcliffe.
The immediate cause Of his death was
pneumonia, aihho he had previously
undergone an aoeration for appendici-
tbs which greatly weakesed him. He
contracted his hast illness on August
18th, but had been poorly for several
months.
Mr.. KnkhoR was born May 1tth,

GOAL MINING |
= ONCE MORE

Coal mining Il picking up in the
county as winter days begin to appear
on the port side Of summer. Not
only are local coal men ordering heav.
lily to supply their trade, but orders
from Denver and even eastern states
are pouring into Crested Butte, SOM
erset and Baldwin, the three major coal
camps Of Gunnison county and the
men, idle much of the summer, are be-
ginning to work full time once more.
Long strings Of empties go each day
to Crested Butte where the mines of
the c. +. & l., the Ross Coal Company
and the Smith Anthracite are working
nearly full time. Crested Butte is
always o good town and more SO than
ever when the mountain sides are dis
gorging train loads of hard and soft
coal each day and the pay rolls are
swelled by fat checks twice a month.
Somerset has been working full
time most of the summer, and Bald
win coal companies are getting into
their stride, altho the men there are
not on full time yet.
Gunnison county is one Of the most
important coal producing sections Of
Colorado. Even the handicap of narrow
lines and excessive freight is over
come in large part by the high quality
Of the product. Not only do the anth-
racite mines at Crested Butte produce
the only hard coal mined to any con-
siderable extent in the west, but the
fine fuel qualities of Crested Butte
and Baldwin soft coal are known the
nation over and they are always IN
demand. -. j
