1woLegitimate
Theaters Likely
AsGayetyS Shifts
Ex-BurIesque House
Books PIoy March 6
With No Segregation

Two new legitimate theaters
appeared likely for Washington
today. with the announcement
that the Gayety, a burlesque
house up to Thursday night, will
reopen with stage play on
March 6.
The Gayety's operators an
nounced the new policy late
yesterday, less than "a hours after
the curtain fell on the theater's
last burlesque show. THE Bar
rettS OF Wimpole Street." starring
Susan Peters, was announced as
the first new attraction.
Informed of the move, officials
of the American National Theater
end Academy in New York said it
would not affect their efforts to
reopen the Government-owned
Belasco. Talks with public build
ings officials on a Belasco lease
will continue here next week, they
said.
The Gayety will operate on a
policy of complete non-segrega-
ton, its. management said. The
Belasco also would operate on this
basis. It was the refusal to adopt
such a policy that forced the
closing of the National. the Capt.
tails only active legitimate the
ater, in the spring of 1913.
National May Change.
r.. The National. now operating as
q movie theater, could become a
third legitimate playhouse, if ex-
pectations in theater circles proved
correct. Some leaders believe it
will revert to stage shows after
another theater opens on an un-
restricted basis.
The new role of the Gayety will
be a novelty, not only for the old
theater building at 513 Ninth
street NV, but also for its oper-
ators, the I. Hirst Enterprises of
Philadelphia, who describe them
selves as the largest burlesque
chain in the country.
Hirst runs burlesque houses in
Philadelphia, Newark. Pittsburgh,
Detroit. st. Louis, Cleveland, Bal
timore. Atlantic City, Allentown,
Pa, and Union City, N. j. It's
only legitimate-theate connection
up to now has been half owner

in Philadelphia, operated by the
Shuberts, according to Hirst's gen.
eral manager. Jay Hornick.
THE Barretts of Winpole
Street" is booked for a two-week
stay. the theater official said. He
added that no other bookings are
lined up but that he "hopes" for
cooperation from New York pro-
ducers.
Mr.. Hornick said he doesn't
think the Gayety's Ninth street
location will deter customers. The
1,500-seat theater will be partly
renovated before its reopening,
and installation of new seats and
other improvements are planned
later. he said. Stage and light
ing equipment are adequate, and
the stage is large enough to ac-
eommodate "the biggest musical, /"
he added.
ANITA officials welcomed the
Gayety announcement, saying they
believed the ANITA Board would
be happy to assist the move in any
way possible,

Dorothy
Dix
Father Needs Toct
In Dealing With
AdOjescent Son

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a boy
IN my middle teens and find it
hard to get along with my father.
He is 60 years old with many silly
ideas. For example, when I leave
the house in the evening, I must
state where I am going and must
put up with a big fuss. Another
thing, he demands that give up
most of my money when work
for household expenses. He earns
a meager salary himself. grad
uate next year and am in need
of money for graduation and
clothes. What percentage of my
earnings should I give him? After
I graduate and am on my own,
would you advise me to leave
home and go out into the wide
world alone? D. D.
Answer: Your father is making
a mistake that most fathers make
in using force and authority in
stead of tact in dealing with an
adolescent boy.
For at no other period during
his whole life is a boy so cock-sure
of himself, so certain that he is
embodied wisdom, so absolutely
confident that he is perfectly
capable of managing his own af-
fairs without any suggestion from
his elders as when he is Is or II.
But while I appeal to your
father to. use more intelligence in
dealing with you, I appeal to you
to use some heart in dealing with
him. Have you ever thought Of
how he works and how much he
denies himself to support you?
And keep you in school? His is a
hard life whose many sacrifices
you've never appreciated because
you are so unaccustomed to them.
Dads always tired, always worried
about bills, always sort of sunk
and hopeless. Can't you visualize
this and be glad that before long
you are going to be able to put
your strong young shoulders under
the family load and help him
carry 1t?
Just what percentage of your
earnings you should pay into the
family fund I don't know, because
you can't figure it out on a cold
mathematical formula. There are
such arrears of debts that piled
up during the long years when you
were little and helpless. that no
one can say how much a child
owes its parents in dollars and
cents. But believe me, D. D.,
family solidarity is a beautiful
thing and there is nothing from
which you would get more hap
piness than in working shoulder
to shoulder with your parents,
making their lives easier and CIV
ing your little brothers and
sisters advantages which perhaps
you have never known. Try it.

Fenness of CIO and AFL Pointed Up in Sessions on Unity

AFL leaders showed resentment
over CIO factory strikes which
they said raised prices.
Today there are still disagree

calling is out of fashion. The AFI

gether in certain ways but they
do it politely.
Time MelIows Both.
For this, the mellowing influence
Of time is partly responsible. But
the main cause of the friendliness
is the pressure of great events In

Act in June. 1947.
2. The cold war with Russia.
3. The hot war in Korea.

The AFL and the CIO are
friendlier toward each other than
they have ever been before as
their leaders prepare to meet here
Tuesday for a session on labor
unity.
No one expects an outright
merger at once. If that ever hap
pens it will take a long time to
work out details. But there are
persons in both camps who be-
lieve the two delegations will talk
seriously about these topics:
/. Formation of a permanent
joint committee to discuss prob
lens and perhaps to try to iron
out quarrels between rival unions
in the two organizations.
2. Some kind of "no-raiding"
agreement, or at least start in
that direction.
3. A partial pooling of efforts
in politics.
4. When and how to invite
other labor groups to join the
negotiations.

from the AFL, thus removing one
obstacle to AFL-CIO cooperation.
It led the AFL and CIO to step
up political activity for the 1948
elections. Although they worked
separately they worked toward
the same end, and there was some
collaboration on the local level.
Finally the Taft-Hartley Act
led the AFL and CIO to make
strenuous efforts for it's repeal in
1949, and now there was some
collaboration on the national level.
In this drive the two organizations
saw alike on strategy and found
themselves on the same side in a
furious argument with John l..
Lewis who denounced them both.
Cold War Cited.
The cold war brought the CIO
and AFL into active collaboration
in the international field.
It led the CIO to expel its Com
munist-led unions, thus removing
one of the AFL's objections to CO.
operation.
It caused the CIo to break out
