Bell Home. and | Washington's list of theaters soon to be increased, for by the mid- dle of December, if present plans are uninterrupted. a tiny yhouse will | have been established just south of ! Dupont Circle, and the first of a series of plays will be ready for presenta- tion to the literary and dramatic pub- lic of the capital. The annex of the home of the late Alexander Graham Bell, on 18th street, which was a study built espe- cially for the use of the scientist. is to be transformed into a miniature theater, dedicated to the service of literary and dramatic art in its simplest and sincerest form. Upon completion of the theater a company of plavers will be ready to take its place on the stage. Under the direction of Robert Bell, son of Charles J. Bell, the “Ram’s Club Play- ers” are being organized and will present six plavs during a period of | twelve weeks, with five performances | each week, including a matinee. The | name of the dramatic organization comes - down from Mrs. Siddons' famous players’ club in England many years ago. Special Rates for Students. An important feature of the plan is that special rates are to be made for seats for all young students of the arts and the drama. and it is un- derstood a number of schools in the city are already expressing in definite ways their interest and support of the plan. The theater and little company of players are to be supported b group of associate members. who will have, in addition to the opportunity of making possible Washington's first little theater, certain special privi- leges in regard to first performances and guest tickets. In addition to the associate members, the seats for the whole series of six plays will be sold by subscriptios, according to the plan usually adopted by little theaters throughout the country, and which was first used by Maurice Browne and Stuart Walker, with both of whom Robert Bell has been closely associated in the last few years. Ambition Long Cherished. ! The establishment of the theater will be the culmination of a long- felt desire of Mr. Bell, who for five years has been bending all his inter- ests and energies toward this end. In this present plan he has been working in close co-operation With James Reynolds. a well known young stage artist and designer, who, with Mr. Bell, will supervise all the details of every production. Among those whose interest is al- ready enlisted and who are to be as- sociate members and subscribers of the Ram's Club players are Mary Roberts Rinehart, Mrs. Franklin Lane, Miss Mabel T. Boardman, Mrs. James Montgomery Beck, Mrs. David Fair- child, Corcoran Thom, Mrs. A. Pem- ‘broke Thom, Charles J. Bell, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Reid Yates, Gilbert Grosve- nor, Howard Reeside, Mr. and Mrs. ‘Willlam H.

Life at Doorn Castle is cast on sim- ple lines. The tradesmen's bills are closely scrutinized, every article of the ex-Kaiser's property is minutely labeled and entered into account books and every item of expenditure is carefully checked and counterchecked.

The conditions of living would be better under a nation- alist regime than in a popular state.” | He announced that a demand had been made of the Bavarian government yes- terday for the punishment of profiteers by flogging and death, adding that if this demand did not produce a result the people would have to take affairs into their hands. Meanwhile the resignation of Premier Lochenfeld being in the hands of the president of the diet, the political fu- sionists are busy casting about for a likely successor. The Lochenfeld gov- ernment is criticized by the supporters of the right as being too weak and sub- missive, and these elements desire to place at the helm a leader who will stand on an “anti-Berlin” platform. The coalition parties in the government are reported to have agreed on Dr. Eugene von Knilling, who was Bavarian min- ister of edication under the monarchy. i com (HEADS FEDERATION OF CITIZENS' BODIES Charles Baker Re-Elected President and George Wales Vice President.

This has already taken place in sev- eral streams and the increased de- !mands during the past few years for the highly nutritious salmon products has resulted in serious destruction of fish destined for the spawning grounds.” GOT “KICK” OUT OF FIRES.
