Billings when the Keene Motors out

not be surprising to find an opera
like Norma" with alternating
stars easily holding the stage for
a portion of a week. if not an en-
tire week. instead Of for only q
single presentation.
One of the most remarkable
men connected with American
music was at the theater with the
Metropolitan Co. William Guard,
unostentatiouS yet with a genial
facility for adjusting himself TO
all kinds of contact, has been the
connecting link between opera
and the journalistic pages for so
long a time that he has heard
every singer worth considering,
enjoyed every music work worth
hearing and met every parsonage
prominent in the public eye. No
life could be more happy for a
man Of artistic mentality.
It is in the Summer time that
the real work of the theater is
done and arrangements are pei
fected not only for new mate
rial but for new understand
ings among the business people
of the stage. The surprise an
nouncement that Keith's will
close and disband its present
organization zone of the most
admirable known to the the
alter and still hoping that the
closing is TO be only for the Sum-
mer) has set in motion much
gossip which links itself into the
old report so often revived
through many years that the
Beiasco and Polls were eventually
to become Government properties.
It has been stated that the
Shubert interests contemplate
establishing a theater in the same
block as that occupied by Keith's.
A somewhat venturegome form
Of speculation has begun to query
soto voce whether the new
Shubert theater might not be
Keith's itself. It is not thought
possible that the Keith interests
would be content to go without a
theater in Washington. A Roland
Robbins-less Washington is quite
unimaginable.
Some understanding between
the Fox Theater and the Albee
people might, 1t is suggested per-
haps be reached to enable once
competitive, but conciliated, pair
of interests TO concentrate on the
r street house. II is the day OF
mergers. The theater is moving
rapidly in following the trend Of
big business. The theater, In fact,
is big business when it can collect
from II to 20 dollars from mil
lions for the privilege Of enjoying
an entertainment Of three hours
duration.
/ Studies In Africa will be prom

plays that have been discussed
with vOciferous violence; even
elashing with authorities. Other
plays Of the kind have come to
/ Washington and left It's senti-
ments and It's artistic ideals ap-
parently unscathed. So no great
