and used them for tables. But later,
as furniture design developed, they
were not neglected, and were made
to harmonic with the most elegant
pieces.
The earliest chests had only the
hinged lid. Later, madame the house
wife grew tired of searching to the
very bottom of her chest for house

in. Eventually the hinged lid became
a stationary top and all the interior
space was taken up by drawers. Thus

WASHINGTON has a genuine
little theater movement in
operation. 1t is in no wise connected
with any Of the numerous studios of
the city nor confined to any par

This much is explained in a com
munication addressed to The Star by
Miss Estelle Allen, who is sponsoring
the movement and who is giving time
and effort to the project gratis.
THE plan." she says. lis to help
the local talent to be raised to the
so desired Although the scenery,
costumes, settings and lighting effects
are to be designed by Washingtonians,
they are not to have an amateur
atmosphere. The players, too, are
to strive for professional excellence.
not be content with mediocrity, and
they are to be graded in their effort
according to their accomplishment.
THE enterprise is to be purely
civic one, and. as both Miss Allen and
the players will donate their services,
they feel that perhaps there may be
those similarly interested in the move
for their use a small theater or suit
able hall or rooms that can be used
for rehearsals and perhaps for per.
formances from time to time.
The little theater," Miss Allen
explains. needs patrons, patronesses
and subscribers, as well as actors,
playwrights. scenic artists, elec-
tricians and the like, and also the
co cooperation of all interested persons
who feel that they have time or
money for the project.
