Revival Of Stage Shows
Seen as us. Asks Bids
For Leasing Be|asco

The Belasco Theater, doomed since
1910 to make way for Treasury De-
partment expansion, gets another re-
prieve today.
Maj. Gen. Philip B. Fleming,
Federal Works Administrator, called
Cor July bids for conditional leas-
ing of the famed showhouse facing
Lafayette Square.
Bid advertisements stipulate that
| if the Congress appropriates funds
for construction Of new Treasury
annex, the Government shall have
the right to cancel the lease with a
years notice.
Comeback Planned.
The theater, which has shown
Washington legitimate stage patrons
the Barrymores, De Wolfe Hopper,
David Warfield and Elsie Janis in
it's heyday. has been eyed as a most
likely candidate for a playhouse
comeback since the close of the war.
Less than 10 days ago, repre-
sentatives of the American National
Theater and Academy expressed
confidence in it's efforts to obtain
the Belasco for resumption of the
legitimate stage there.
AS theater, the Belasco played
its last show, Saint Joan," with
Luise Rainer, on March 16, 1910.
Built in 1895.
The Government acquired the
property at II Madison place NV.
in preparation for the Treasury ex-
pansion, but war brought the
theater's first reprieve by forcing
deferment of building plans. 1t
served as Stage Door Canteen
from October, 1912, to January %,
1916. =
Erected in 1895 by Uriah H.
Painter, a wealthy engineer, and
called the Lafayette Square Opera
House. it was taken over by Shubert
and Belasco in 1905 and renamed
the Belasco. The Girl of the Golden
West was the first production
under the new management, pre-
sented october %, 1905, and starring
Blanche Bates.
Bids, calling for two months
rental on the basis of the amount
of the bid, must be submitted to
Room 1923 of the Federal Works
Building. Nineteenth and F streets
NV. The Government will retain
the entire fifth floor, part of the
fourth and about TOO square feet of
the basement

z Teachers 10 Take
Receiving Home Posts

Two teachers will take up their
duties within a week at the Chill
dren's Receiving Home, the Depart
ment of Public Welfare announced

graduate of George Peabody Col
lege, Nashville, Tenn, who has been
teaching school since his graduation
He served with the Marines in the
Pacific from 1912 to 1916. His wife
is now employed at the Industrial
Home School as counselor in the

teaching staff. He will divide his
time between the two institutions.
An educational program at the
school was proposed by Kimbau
Sanborn of the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee last February but
was not started because of the "red
tape" involved in making the ap-
pointments. The school will be
maintained from funds of the In
dustrial School for this month only
To continue after the beginning OF
the new fiscal year on July l. it will
be necessary for Congress to ap-
propriate funds to pay the two

Uniform Traffic Laws
Urged by Taft Before
Conference Here

An appeal was made today by
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
I for a uniform code of traffic laws
throughout the United States.
In an address before luncheon
in the Carlton Hotel of the third
annual District Traffic Court Con-
ference, Senator Taft paid tribute
to the progress made here in traffic
laws and traffic enforcement.
Earlier, the conference, meeting
in the Municipal Court Building
heard Judge Brice Claggett of the
Municipal Court of Appeals sug-
gest that perhaps the only way tc
solve the District traffic problem
was by putting plainclothes police
men on patrol duty.
Cases Doubled.
Such an eXpedient, Judge Clag-
gett. said should be resorted to only
with great reluctance.
Judge Clagett observed that the
current Traffic Court docket, which
he said was 40 or so cases daily, was
less than half of what it amounted
to when he sat on the Municipal
Court.
The reduction in the number of
traffic cases does not, he said, mean
better law enforcement. You al
most take your life in your hands
when you drive on Constitution
avenue during evening rush hours.
Barse Opens Conference.
The conference was opened this
morning by Chief Judge John P.
Barse of Municipal Court.
This afternoon the conference was
to hold a "gripe session" at which
any one would be allowed two min
utes to present his criticisms of the
safety enforcement machinery of
the District.
