Much has been said from time to time,
by those informed on the subject, about
the actors and the theaters of Wash
ington of bygone days but not SO much
about the men who made the plays and
our playhouses possible.
The first theatrical performance was
given in this city in the Summer OF
1900, when Wignel and Reinagle brought
their thespian troupe here for short
stay and others, of course, soon followed.
But this is going back rather far, and
no doubt of greater interest would be
some of the proprietors, managers and
members of the staffs of the theaters
of q more recent date.

today, still occupied for amusement pur-
poses, is where now stands the National

LoNDON.-The average active life of
a woman in Europe's anti-Nazi under
ground" is five to six months.
The lives of 200 women in Czecho-
slovakia were taken for the assassina-
ton of Hitlers hangman, Reinhard
Heydrich.
Their total deaths in all Europe are
not disproportionate to women's share
in underground activities, for in at
least two countries, France and Holland
where much of the manpower has
been kidnapped for Germany-women
outnumber men in the underground.
Their able helpers are their own chill
dren.
AT the beginning" says Maria
Brazeska, an escape power of the Polish
underground, there was general feel

In Poland, girl in her teens was

a reporter.
In this girls country, one monthly
periodical zywia, and one paper for
children. Biedronka, are stated COM
pletely by women, and they work in
cellars and garrets on l20 other Polish
underground publications.
They carry messages and mount

So thorough is their infiltration that

Early Washington Theaters
And Their Managers

called The Lorgnette.'
The Herman Brothers
The Lyceum Theater which stood at
the northeast corner of Eleventh and
c streets, the site now being occupied
by part of the Internal Revenue Build
ing, has still fond recollections for many
of the older residents of Washington.
The Herman brothers made it popular
for many years, and here Eugene Ker-
nan was manager for many years. Jake
Budd. well known blackface come
dian, in addition to acting here, also
served as manager for awhile. The
theater was then generally known as
Kernan's. Originally on this site was
the Washington Theater, erected in
1904 and burned in 1920. 1t was re-
built by Louis Carusi and named the
Washington Assembly Rooms, though
its popular name was Carusi's Salon.
It's history is story in itself.
Albaughs Grand Opera House, built
by the Washington Light Infantry, took
its name from its lessee and manager,
John w. Albaugh who had previously
been the proprietor of the National
Theater. 1t occupied the northeast cor
ner of Fifteenth and E streets, the site
now being covered by temporary war
building. In later years, with an en-
trance on Pennsylvania avenue, it be-
came Keith's Theater, followed by

On November 10, 1884, Albaugh's was

that made Nation weep and the whole
world mourn.
According to an early account, the
long journey of the funeral procession
to Springfield, ILL.,, lasted from the 2lst
of April, when the embalmed body left
Washington, till the 4th of May. when
it was entombed at Springfield. The
ceremonies at New York, on the 25th
OF April, were by far the most imposing
ever known in that city. It was esti-
mated that $4,000 people marched in
the procession. The streets through
which it passed were shrouded in black.
There was hardly a house in the city
without an emblem of mourning.
After the assassination Of President
Lincoln, every man was held guilty until
he was proven innocent, to reverse q
well-known legal phrase, for this was
just the state Of mind of the authorities
in Washington, and many innocent
people. and few guilty ones, were ar
rested and placed in Jail, and among
those suspected were the three Ford
brothers connected with the theater
They were John T. Ford, the proprietor
and manager; James r. Ford, business
manager, and r. Clay Ford, treasurer
They were incarcerated In the old Cap
itol Prison, in the block where now
stands the Supreme Court Building, but
were released after they had been de-
clared innocent.
cecond Tragedy
After the Lincoln tragedy, the Gov
ernment took charge of the Tenth street
theater and afterward purchased it from
Mr.. Ford, and here, in 1893, was the
scene of another tragedy.
On December 6, 1871, what was then
known as Wallis Opera House, which
stood about 100 feet west of Ninth
street and the same distance south of
Pennsylvania avenue, was destroyed by
fire. Thomas Berry was then the owner
of the property and by him the theater
was soon rebuilt. Afterward it was
leased to Mr. Ford for 10 years, and re-
opened on February az, 1873 as Walls
New Opera House, the attraction being
Joseph Jefferson in rip Van Wrinkle. -
For awhile, about 1873 or 1879, Mr.. Ford
was also the proprietor of the National
Theater.
Mr.. Ford died in Baltimore on March
IA, 1894, after brief illness, and long
account of his career is contained in

active in the underground. They asked
her 10-year-old daughter where her

When the door opened, the little girl

1ntire also tries to enforce program
Of regular exercise.
In Mr.. Roosevelt's case, complicat-
ing factor Is injected because Of his
physical handicap His exercise virtu-
ally is confined to swimming. and it was
necessary to abandon this when he de-
veloped bronchitis. although prior to
that he had been using the White House
pool two or three times week.
Getting Him Out of Doors
Mr.. Roosevelt's close confinement to
the White House, even before the attack
of bronchitis, worried his medical adj
yisers, who much prefer that he take an
occasional week end at the family home
in Hyde Park, because 1t enables him to
be out Of doors more.
When In Washington, almost the sole
opportunity the President has for get
ting outside Is by automobile travel. and
because of the wartime restrictions
forced on civilian motoring, he has not
been willing to use q car as much as
those around him would like.
But with all these drawbacks, Admiral
McIntire reported that the hospital
checkup on the President last month
was satisfactory and added that he and
his associates decided they had nothing
to argue about" on the Presidents con-
dition, despite his 81 years. Mr.. Roose-
velt had lost about three pounds in the
latest illness, which followed by three
months a siege Of influenza, but his
weight was 184a, which Is a good
poundage in the opinion of medical
men, and his diet was stepped up to in
clude more vitamins.
The Usual Rumors
A customary by-product of the Presi-
dents if1oisposition was the food of
rumors-al bad, and all denied-about
his condition, and speculation as to
whether his health might not be the
decisive factor in his fourth-term In
tentions. Conceivably, Mr.. Roosevelt 5
health might figure in that situation.
So might the health Of any candidate.
The one thing always in President
Roosevelt's favor is a rugged constitu-
ton and remarkable recuperative DOW
ers, ana 1t is this combination that en-
ables him TO keep going at top speed
over long period, when less durable in
dividuals would be firing. And 1t is al
ways his talking point when associates
urge that his pace be slackened.

80 when the door has closed on the last
visitor and the President has lunch.
The midday meal almost invariably is
eaten at his desk Seldom is there
luncheon guest, and when the President
does have company" it Is more than apt
to be Secretary Of State Hull, Gen.
George c. Marshall. Chief Of Staff Of the
Army: Admiral Ernest J. King, chief of
naval operations. or some other Of the
Chief Executives top-fiight advisers.
Then lunch becomes more than Just a
midday interlude.
The day is well advanced, conse-
quently, before the President is in
position to settle down and work with
out interruption, and this does not by
any means imply that he cuts himself
off from the outside, for there is always
the telephone and he uses that inces-
sanity. Friday afternoon is broken up
by the cabinet meeting and on Tuesday
at 4:3O there is news conference.
Dictates for Hours
Seldom does Mr.. Roosevelt quit his
Office before $50 or 7. A light dinner
follows. and with this disposed Of. he
summons stenographer and starts
dictation that may last until midnight
for huge amount OF the White House
correspondence is disposed Of In the
evening hours.
With little variation this Is the sort
of schedule Admiral McIntire has to
buck In trying to keep the health Of the
President at par.
Once In while there is q break, when
the arrival of foreign dignitary calls
for state dinner-"stag"-b White
House entertaining is out for the dura-
ton, and the only public dinner the
President has attended since the war
started Is that of the White House
Correspondents Association.
When a presidential cold becomes a
matter OF international concern, it is
easy to understand why his medical ad-
visers keep so close watch on the
Chief Executives health. Every year
since he has been in the White House
Mr.. Roosevelt has gone to Naval Hos
pital for the same sort of checkup re-
quired annually Of senior naval officers.
Nothing is missed, and If there Is the
slightest sign of internal disorder, i'm
mediate steps are taken to counteract it.
Along with this, diet and weight are
supervised carefully and Admiral Nc
