AMUSEMENTS. - News an(lCommnet By W. H. Landvoigt. ‘ HEN the new Tivoli Theater, 2 week ago, for the first time filled W its twenty-five hundred seats with a deeply interested and enthusiastic audience to witness the ceremonies and attractions provided for its inaugural opening, prominent citizens from various walks of life paid tribute. to the beauty of the magnificent structure and even greater tribute to Harry M. Crandall as the moving spirit in its construction, and also as one of Washington's highest public spirited citizens, especially to his efforts for the benefit of the school children and of the alien within our gates. Even so eminent an authority as the Secretary of Labor, an officer of the President’s cabinet, laid str pon these contributions of Mr. Crandall to the welfare of Washington, ndeed to the general welfare, for Mr. Crandall's efforts here in behalf visual education for both school children and aliens were the first to ye made in this country, and were quickly copied and as quickly as- | imilated as original credits in many other cities. The vast audience which stened to these tributes, and which enthusiastically indorsed them with ts applause, received its first information as to what Mr. Crandall was doing along these lines in The Sunday Star, which, from time to time and ith such space as each ncw development seemed to warrant, gave the particulars to its readers. What the distinguished speakers told their iearers, therefore, at the new Tivoli was not strictly news, even though ¢ was information which they were glad to receive again and to commend with applause, the only expression left to an audience. ¥ %k K K R. CRANDALL, however. is entitled to credit, with those who are associated with him, for giving to Washington not only one of the finest theaters in the country, but of giving with it the supreme attair ment in amusement that is now being otfered in the motion picture houses particularly, as distinguished from those which it has beconie the fashion to call “legitimate theaters,” and for the first time in Washington. The programs of the Tivoli, if they may be judged by that of the opening week, offer something more, indeed much more than mere photoplay ntertainment. If not the first to do so. it is believed Mr: Crandall was me of the very first among Washington's photoplay exhibitors to intro- iuce here what it pleases the enterprising press agent to call “the symphony chestra There is no disposition to provoke a discussion, but merely to point out that, whether the splendid orchestra and its distinguished conductor merit the symphonic compliment or not, they did make the music provided with the picture entertainment a distinct and a most en- joyable feature, and hundreds are known to have gone to hear the music when they cared but little for the photoplay. Oi course, ail the leading photoplay hos availed themselves of this great attraction, and now ) music is quite as important, sometimes much more so, than thei ] Jhotoplay entertainment. At the new Tivoli the program now provides | or this excellent feature, and in addition to that and a superior v nli ature, not nes with the Crandall theaters, the independent jazz enter- tainers. The exquisite art of the bailet also has been introduced, and aul Jdong with the customary photoplay feature and its lesser accompani- ments. Thus the program as a_whole becomes something much more delightful than Washington has heretofore known. This is a_fact to be borne in mind along with other important matters that seem likely to be erlooked at this time. WAS quite natural at the Tivoli inaugural that there should be strong manifestation of pride on the part of the community which 1e first to be thus blessed. But the Tivoli is going to require the generous patronage of the entire city if it is to realize the glories predicted for it. It is not a community affair by a long shot. It is 2 great city enterprise, | ind Washington is now on trial to establish the fact that it really wants | <uch an enterprise. And even here Mr. Crandall and his supporters have | provided an easy way of showing it, for unlike the big motion picture | house of New York and other cities where such extravagant entertain- ment is provided, the Tivoli rates of admission, at their highest, will be »ut a few cents more than 2 hali-dollar a seat. [t requires a great deal of money every day and every hour to run illion dollar theater and s entertainment,” and it is scarcely reasonable to believe that this can or will come irom any one community, but must come from generous Washington as a whole g e fr. * %% ILL HART has Lroken away from Famous Players, says Film Daily. because he believes he knows, through long experience, what best suits his requirements. and Famous Players thinks not.
