ART BUILDING HERE | Senator Declares National Gallery Needs Separate Quarters for Development. M'CORMICK FAVORS I POTENTIAL VALUE CITED ‘Wants Provision Made in Building Program. “Any plan for the construction of needed public bulldings in Washing- ton—and there is great need for such structures—should include a building for the National Gallery of Art,” Sen- ator Medill McCormick of Iilinois said today. Senator MeCormick is a mem- ber of the board of regents of the Smithsonian Institution, which is the custodian of the National Gallery ot Art, now housed in part of the Natural History building of the Smithsonian group. The National Gal- lery of Art contains paintings and other objects of art valued at ap- proximately $5,000,000. These paint- ings have all been donated to the government, and the officials of the Smithsonian Institution are confident that millions more, in objects of art, ‘would be given to the government by citizens of the United States, if a proper_building for the gallery were erected. Cites Benefits of Institution. The Illinois senator commented upon the benefit to the people of Chi- cago the Art Institute has been, and said that he heartily approved of the plan for development of a great na- tional gallery here in Washington. Eventually, he predicted, such a gal- lery, with proper housing faciliti will be found in the National Capital. The beautification of the Capital, Senator McCormick said, should not be lost sight of. He has been in hearty accord with the proposals of Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania, chairman of the committee on library, who has urged strongly that steps be taken for improving the city. The public buildings commission, through its chairman, Senator Smoot of Utah, has introduced a_ bill looking to the expenditure of $50,000,000 for public buildings in Washington, including the erection of buildings needed to house various government depart- ments occupying rented quarters, this sum to be expended over a period of ten years. The building program un- der ‘such a measure, Senator McCor- mick_ said. should include a home for the National Gallery of Art Two Get 0. R. Commissions. Howard C.

Performances by the Moscow Art ‘Theater were given at Poli's Theater yesterday afternoon, when “Tsar Fy- odor Ivanovitch” was presented, and last evening, when “The Cherry Or- chard” was repeated. In both plays the same unvarying excellence of dramatic-art and skill were in evi- dence as in the original performances of both plays earlier in the week. ‘Washington is apparently awaken- ing to the fact that although the presentations are given in the Rus- sian language, the wonderful dra- matic ability of this famous ccmpany of players is such as to clearly re- flect the plot and purpose of the plays.

Bernhardt was enjoyed, although her performance was in French ; Duse, whose performancea were in Italian, and before her the famous Itallan tragedian Sal- vinl. While doubtless the number who attended these performances in the past were more conversant with French and Italian than they are with Russian, thousands who understood neither paid tribute to the high dramatic art that those famous players unfolded.
