ROME, November 9 (#). —Sixty mil- lion lire annually was voted by the cabinet yesterday as the govern- ment’s contribution to the city of Ttme to be used in the work of re- storing the ancient grandeur of the capital, in accordance with Musso- Opening Attractions in ‘Washington Theaters SHUBERT-BELASCO—"Glamour.” The offering of a play in the state of chaotic incompletion which char- acterizes ““Glamour” is not justified even by the reduction in price of ad- mission. “Glamour” in its present form is no bargain at any price. Its imperfections last night related to manuscript, cast and the management of mechanical effects. The curtain did not lift till far beyond the usual hour; there were obvious miscalcula- tions in the elaborately designed ef- fects and much the timefilling dia- logue suggested improvisation rather than study. The production is made Albert Lewis in association with A. H. Woods. Ralph Morgan is the featured player; an excellent actor working consclentiously in adverse circumstances. AUDITORIUM—The Modern “‘Hamlet.” William Shakespeare's tragedy, “Hamlet,” was given its second pres entation’ last night in_the two-week repertolre of Robert Mantell's com- pany at the Washington Auditorfum before a large and thoroughly inter- ested audience. It was produced in modern dress, a novelty that it seems doubtful whether or not adds any- thing to the play's potency. “Ham- let” has a timeless plot. The mod- ern dress did not harmonize well with the archaic inversion of many verbs and words that have long since been discarded. It seems as though those innovators who would modernize the clothihg for actors in this play might have gone a step further and mod- ernized the verbs—making a new Shakespeare altogether. It is amus- Ing to see A. E. F. type of uniforms on the guards who see Hamlet's father’s ghost walk. It is even more amusing to see Hamlet make his first entrance, followed by a sleekly garbed Japanese valet. Most of ali, it seems odd that an Ophelia who would wear the sophisticated evening gowns of her earlier scenes would choose the exceedingly old-style floral wreaths as her medium of expression, when she becomes crazed with griel. However. lit is all novelty, and novelty is always | interesting. Mr. Mantell's Hamlet. like his Rich- elleu, i3 farfamed. He reads his lines' “trippingly on the tongue,” as Mr. Shakespeare himself has put it, but sometimes his finest effects in soft volce are lost. He gave the fa- mous soliloquy with excellent taste, both in accent and action. He was as skillful as a clever prima donna, and this much-quoted passage did not stand out with abruptness as a show plece, but, like a well rendered aria, became to the audlence a much-loved part of a completely beautiful scene. Genevieve Hamper rose to the culiar requirements of her mad scene with fine artistry. Olga Leeds does not seem to get the emotion of her role as the Queen “from the inside out,” as one might express it: her emotions seem purely of the surface. John Burke is good as the usurper of the throne. John C. Hickeyv as Polo. nius spoke his lines well, but looked for all the world like one of the Brothers Smith. John Alexander was A good Laertes.

BROOKLAND ASKS BETTER STREETS Citizens” Meeting Votes to Urge Congress to Appro- priate Funds. The need for strest improvements in their section was stressed by members of the Brookland Citizens' Association, meeting in Masonic Temple, Twelfth and Monroe streets northeast, last night. A resolution was adopted con- taining an appeal to Congress to ap- propriate funds for the roadways. Particular emphasis was laid upon the necessity for continuing the con- crete pavement on Twelfth street from Monroe street to Rhode Island ave- nue. Thé condition of the street was discussed by Lee R. Wilson. Enactment of legislation to compel A merger of the street car and bus lines was favored in another resolu- tion adopted after Willlam V. Lewls, president of the assoclation. had re ported what took place at the recent :nprger hearing at the District Build- ng. The association decided to ask the board of education to place the Brook- land School in the category of build- ings entitled to an administrative principal Discussing a suggestion that the Brookland branch post office be relo- cated, the sentiment of those present was that it remain at Twelfth and Monroe streets. Plans were made to co-operate to the fullest extent in the city-wide drive to swell the ranks of organized citizenship. Each member of the as- sociagion was urged to enroll his neighbors who have not hitherto been members of the association. Errors Enhance Stamps. Stamp collectors will sometimes pay hundreds of dollars for a stamp mar- red through error at time of issuance. For instance, a stamp issued in Greece in 1919 with the surcharge upside down, was held worth $600 to some philatelists, but when it was discov- ered that another sheet or two of these stamps had got into circulation, the price dropped to $60. Philatelists maintain that these oddities in stamps are important signposts In history. 711 13th St Public Admittance for Luncheon 12 to 2:30 535¢c and $1.00 and Dinner 6109 p.m. $1.50 and $2.00 No Cover Charge Luncheon or Dinner Phone Main 3101 revived him | Ask abeut the Night Club 1.
