for by the local women.
There will be the old fairy story,
from Grimm, 1.-THE Bremen Band"
which is admirably adapted to the
activities Of the dancing dolls, as they
have been called. The animals are
featured In this little play, and there
Is q laugh or q stunt every minute,
to keep the attention alert.
Another short play is to be present.
ed under the title Of 1.-THE Stolen
Princess" This has q story which Is
Intriguing. and Is given with the
quaint loneliness which characteristics
the artistic settings Of the plays
presented by Mr. Sarg. It would be
unfair to tell the story in advance,
but It concerns q princess who ends
her career In the play with visions Of
happiness ever afterwards. The whole
play is n Of Oriental plays, and Is

THREE NEGOTIATE
FOR SCHOOL SITE
D. C. Officials, American U.
and Developers Consider
Wesley Heights Tract.

Three-cornered negotiations relating
to the acquisition of q strip Of land for
a school In Wesley Heights are under
way among District offlcials, trustees
Of the American University, which owns
the tract, and w. G. & A. N. Miller, de-
velopers Of Wesley Heights.
The District already owns most Of
the block, bounded by Macomb, Newark,
Forty-fourth and Forty-flfth streets.
There is store on the southwest cor
ner Of the block, not yet acquired, and
the American University lots are on the
northwest corner. Although these lots
form no part of the university's campus
proper, the university desires to keep
them for possible future expansion, and
asked the District to delay condemna-
ton proceedings.
The Miller concern Is anxious TO have
the school built, and has offered the
university an equivalent amount Of land
at the condemnation price Of its land
In any other section of Wesley Heights.
The District Is expected to proceed with
condemnation, according to Assistant
Engineer Commissioner II. l.. Robb, its
land officer, unless some arrangement
is made between the Miller concern and
the university whereby the District can
buy the property within the appropria-
ton remaining.
Although the District now owns
enough land for the construction OF
the school, the land in controversy Il
needed partly for q school playground
and partly for q future extension "a
the school, Maj. Robb said.
There Is not enough money left with
which to buy the store property, but
additional appropriations will be asked
for.
