The Light Infantry. in the erecting
ofnthis building, showed rare judgment
in not only planning for adequate quar-
tiers for its meetings. drills and social
functions. but also in providing for a
revenue producer In the form of an
up-to-date theater, of which the city
was greatly IN need, for the only
amusement houses then in the city
were the National Theater, Ford's
Opera House. at Louisiana avenue and
Ninth street: the Theater Comique. at
Eleventh and c streets. and the Dime
Museum. at ilo6 D street. where now
stands the Post once Department
Building. The Comique was strictly
mans house, and the Dime Museum
was Just about what the name implies
more Of side-stow than anything
else, with an occasional sparring match
and the like thrown in as added at
fractions
BY this you will see that there were
then in the city only two theaters
which could be frequented with perfect
propriety by the ladies and their es-
corts and where a first-class perform
ance might been seen. these being the
National and Fordis Opera House.
Because Of the need Of such build
ing. pains and money were not spared
In its erection. and from the time the
first spade was sunk IN the ground 70
the completion of the structure 1t was.
il every way. the achievement OF
Washington enterprise and capital.
A description Of the building pub
lished at the time should be interesting.
The armory has a drill room, COX
