The personality Of a player, once

his hopes and fears, ups and downs.

Movie Guild in Washington.

COME time ago a few prominent
people in New York conceived the
idea Of forming a movie guild, with a
view to the development Of a greater
appreciation Of better pictures on the
part Of the theater.going public A
Broadway theater was secured for the
purpose, and a revival was started of
pictures which in the past had earned
the designation Of classics of the
screen" This in preference to the
general run of latter-day pictures,
which had little, If anything, to COM
mend them. The movement met with
success, and soon it extended to other
big cities of the East.
a few energetic men of this city
now have taken up the cause. and the
Wardman Park Theater, which has
had it's ups and downs as a temple Of
the spoken drama, now houses what Is
known as the Moving Picture Guild
Of Washington, which, 1t is announced.
will aim to present carefully selected
programs of worthwhile pictures, old
and new, at the common admission
price Of Is cents.
The announcement of the first of
these programs appears elsewhere in
these columns today.
