Father Rescues Five
.0f6Chi|dren and Wife
In Fire, Dies Of Burns

A 51-year-old father who made
repeated trips into his flaming
Maryland home to rescue his wife
and five of his six children, died
yesterday of burns suffered in the
fire which also took the life of his
youngest son.
He was Sylvester Hester, colored,
who died in Gallinger Hospital
a few hours after the heroic rescue
work at his one-story frame home
in Glen Arden, set abaze by a
bolt of lightning. Mr.. Hester's body
was 80 per cent covered with burns
when he was admitted to the
hospital.
Although the father managed to
rescue five children and his wife,
he apparently was unable to reach
s-months-old Cephus, whose body
was found in a crib by firemen after
they had extinguished the blaze.
Mrs. Hester, AZ, and a 2-year-old
daughter, Elizabeth, were injured in
the fire which started about 4:30
am. but was out of control by the
time firemen arrived.
Fire companies from West Lam
ham, Seat Pleasant, Landover Hills
and Bladensburg were forced to
fight the blaze with water from
wells and booster tanks on their en-
gines because the Glen Arden COM
nunity has no water system. The
town is about 6 miles east of Seat
Pleasant.

Remode|ing Of National
Into Movie Theater BEGUN

Remodeling necessary to turn
National Theater into a movie house
was in preliminary stages today
with a tentative opening date set
for September 15-or later.
The National, at 1925 E street
NV, went out of existence as a
legitimate showhouse Saturday
night, ending its 113-year history
in the stage. The closing resulted
from the management's refusal to
accede to demands of Actors Equity
that it admit colored people. Equity
then refused to let its members
appear at the theater.
Manager Edmund Plohn said "ex-
tensive" changes will be made in
the foyer and lounge. 1T has
needed a face lifting" he said, land
the work probably would have been
done regardless of the change to
movies"
Mr.. Plohn was uncertain as to
the opening date, but said it would
take six weeks or more for the
conversion.
