KriesIer's "Liebeslied," and was fol-
lowed by LaVerne Sundin, whose play

The brothers, David and Leslie Far

The Parkway Apartment, Con-
necticut Avenue and Macomb
Street, Immediately adjoining Rock
Creek Park, is the National Capt.
tails newest and most modern
apartment house. It will be for
mally opened to the public for
inspection tomorrow.
Much thought has been given to
the planning Of the building by
Frank Russell Whites architect and
builder, in order to afford every,
convenience to the apartment
owner. The construction work has
now been practically completed and
personal inspection can best con-
vince one of the desirability Of
the individual apartments.
The Cooperative Apartment
Plan Of Home Ownership provides
the most economical method Of
buying and maintaining home.
BY this method hundreds Of
families in the Nations Capital
have found it possible to acquire
home ownership, which, prior to
the advent Of the Cooperative
Apartment, was to many Of them
only q dream.
AT this time more than fifty
apartment buildings in Washington
are being maintained comparatively.
The plan has long since passed the
experimental stage and has been
indorsed as pre-eminently sound by
leading financiers, lawyers and eco
nomists. Jurists, diplomats, bank
ers and others Of unquestioned busi-
ness Judgment have given it their
approval in the most convincing
manner-by themselves buying CO.
operative apartment homes.
Virtually every progressive
builder in Washington has entered
the COOPERATIVE Apartment field
since that day, nine years ago, when
this most modern form Of home
ownership was introduced in the
District.
