RAM PLAYERS Tin
THEIR NEW
HOME

A double occasion in purely
Washington theatricals was in
augurated last night in dedi-
cation of the new Wardman
Park theater and opening Of the
third season Of the Rams Head
Players. The wordy Rostand's
play, "The Eaglet," was pre-
sented and though something
more humble in its pretensions
could have been chosen for the
dedicatory bill, the presentation
was effective, to a professional
point, thanks to spirited read
ing by William Kirkland in the
leading role and colorful setting
designs by James Reynolds.
Mr.. Kirkland, a player new to
Washington, acquitted a diff
cult role, heretofore an am
bilious rung for lady players,
with a boyish effeminacy that
rang true; remaining within
precincts prescribed for the i'm
petuous weakling with a finesse
that was complimentary. He is
a valuable addition to a troupe
not smothered in rich talents.
Maurice Jarvis is another
player to be welcomed and ac-
claimed. His portrayal Of the
Grenadier Guard was skillful.
Richard Elwell, Leona Roberts,
Addison Smith, and Josephine
Hutchinson lent adequate sup
port, particularly Mr.. Elwell,
who, in the part of Metternich,
explodes, with taunts and ridi-
Guile, ambitions of the Eaglet to
become emperor of France.
James Reynolds lair for color
and bizarre notes iE design, as
usual, makes the most of every
inch of stage space, giving the
effect of larger girth, which, in
little theaters, is the sublime
in effect.-H. P.

THE GATE-POST
BIZ Harold Phillips

Given a choice between your
so-called "polite" audience and
their remoter cousins, the pea
nut-busters, / prefer attendance
at the theater with the latter.
The soft-collar set wears its
best manners, however much the
strain, when in public; its deni-
zens are seated on time and
they hush up, principally, /
suppose, because their play
attending is sporadic and when
they go they want their moneys
worth.
The blight Of the entire little
theater movement will never be
moved until someone devises q
way for little theaters to live
without founders, sustaining
members, contributing dolts
and ''know-it-alls." Support of
any kind to a struggling enter
prise deludes some of the sup
porters into an exaggerated
sense of ownership and their
own Importance. They enter
with a 'This is MY theater"
air, sIamming seats, trampling
on law-abiding folk, "asiding"
each other in the best Shake
spearian mode. For them, the
curtain rises when dinner is
over.
The noise and harassments
attending the opening Of the
Rams Head season at the
Wardman Park Theater last
night spoiled the entire first
act for people there with no
other intent than to see the
performance. The curtain rose
at S:15 and not until 8 o'clock
exactly did the last seat de-
tomato. And, Of course, the
first act was ruined.

Under these powers the Secretary
of the Navy was charged with the
duty of protecting the oil thus confid-
ed to his care. In carrying out the will
of Congress 1 had three courses open
to me:

value of the royalty oil belonging to

Reason for Transfer.
'The Interior Department has under

oil reserve lands now under discus

took up with the Secretary of the
Interior and the President the ques-
ton of transferring the administra-

troleum reserves to the Department
of the Interior, reserving to the Navy
Department the general policy as to
drilling on such lands. BY execu-
tive order, dated May 81, 1921, the
President made these recommenda-
tions effective.

stration from his department to the In
terror Department was legal; that the

that they We're beneficial to the gov
ernment, preventing the future loss Of
millions of dollars worth of Oil and
greatly increased the power of the Navy
to defend the country.
Secretary DENLY asserted that the
easing of the oil reserves was justified
by all three of these propositions.
No End in sight.

parently unending succession, the end

| telling now how many others will be
called after txnert accountants have
gone through the books of stock bro
kerage firms, banks and quasi business
associations in search of transactions
in any way related to the oil leases.
The naval Secretary made no men
tion of the Robinson resolution de-
ment last night, which was in the
form of a telegram to Roy ID. Chaplin
of Detroit in reply to the message of
confidence received some days ago
from 225 citizens of Michigan.
Stating that he had received hun
dreds of letters and kilograms from
Michigan and all parts of the Union,
Mr.. DENLY declared that such a DEM

sage continued, Il was very shortly
convinced that the oil reserve lands
which had been set aside by Congress
for the benefit of the United States
Navy were being drained by private
owned wells adjoining those reserves.
That they were being drained is un-
disputed.
Congress, under date of June 4,
1920, gave the following powers to
the Secretary of the Navy:
g That the Secretary of the Navy is
directed to take possession of all

answer, they were beneficial. They
prevented the further loss of millions
OF dollars worth Of oil. They placed
oil on the coast and in the Hawaiian
Islands. where it could be reached
quickly in case of emergency. They
greatly increased the power of the
Navy to defend the United States
which, in it's essence, is it's principal
duty.
"The leases cannot be held Illegal

tion has SO declared. They cannot

Advantage to Navy.

'"The royalties and other considera-
tions are believed to be the best the
government could possibly get. Under
these leases the Navy will be provid-
ed with fuel oil to be used in an
emergency, which means war, in a
quantity readily accessible, which
will probably last the fleet one year
Oil does not deteriorate to an ap-
preciable extent in storage The de-
lenses of the United States were made
greatly more secure by this action.
These facts have been well known
to the public ever since the transfer
to the Interior Department was made
and the leases were executed.
THE basic questions are:
First. Did the Secretary of the
Navy act within the law when he
asked for the transfer of the admin
istration Of the oil lands to the De-
partment of the Interior. which had
control of all the other oil lands of
the public domain? AS to this ques-
ton I emphatically assert that the
transfer was legal.
Second. Was the execution Of the

No profit, but only bare cost was al
