BULDING IS HELD N TYPE MODEL Design for Murch School De- scribed as Introduction of Improved Architecture. The building of the Ben W. Murch Echool, contract for which was let April 19, will mark the introduction of a new type of grade school architecture into the District, according to Acting Munic- ipal Architect S. B. Walsh. The principal difference between the new type and the old is that it is on a two-floor rather than a three-floor plan. The building will contain three main divisions, as shown in the ac- companying picture, the wings housing classrooms and the center offices, ex- hibition rooms, teachers’ rooms and gymnasium-assembly hall. The results expected are better arrangement of rooms, improved lighting, ventiiation and more adequate fire protection. In architectural design the school represents the Colonial period, with wails of red brick and such range of color as to give a pleasing effect. The trim is limestone and the roof slate. ‘The building is of fireproof construction throughout. The new school, to be completed De- cember 19, will have but one wing, that appearing in the leit of the accompa ing picture. The right wing, contain- ing eight classrooms, will b2 added when the necessity arises. Contract was let for the building to the George Hyman Construction Co. at a price of $183,000.

Wiles, reunion manager, announced yesterday. Never did villain more villanously comfort himself, nor virtue more justly win its own reward, than on the stage of the Wardman Park Theater last night when the Columbia Players, in an engagement _extraordinary, 'g:ennwd “Ten Nights in a Barroom,’ t time- less epic of regeneration. The presentation, under the auspices of the Community Drama Guild, was announced as the first of & series of revivals of old-time plays to be pro- duced in the Capital. The proceeds of last night’s effort will be devoted to de- fraying the expense of the Columbia Players cast, which will offer “The Monkey's Paw” in next month's Little Theater tournament in New York. It was an engagement extraordinary, in truth, last night. An audience, many members of which are of official and social prominence, but who evidently enjoyed the three hours given over to this saga of a sot, joined with hisses, whistling, cat-call and the rending |~ shrieks upon the boards. Despite a polite notice in the program streamer that “the eating of peanuts interferes with the audition and disturbs the artists,” peanuts vended by fetching ushers between- the acts were eaten, and eaten loudly. Between the acts, too, the audience swelled its voice in old heart songs, led by Joe Bourne before the curtain, so AY, APRIL 24, 1929. that even little Mary in heaven mlcht‘ln real ife, Harry Wescott, have heard them—“Only & Bird in a Gilded Cage, ere My Wander: ing Boy Tonight” and “After the Ball Is Over.” With that sweetest, dear- est, of theme-songs, “Father, Dear Father, Come Home With Me Now,” little Mary, rising from a bed of pain (she was struck, g&n remember, by a playful hurled whisky bottle, an in- nocent victim of the demon rum), m pla; dled before the curtain in her !%et :nd led a penitent chorus in the chant, Uniform excellence marked the work of the players, with H. R. Baukhage as Switchel and George Odell as Joe Morgan, perhaps, taking the bulk of dramatic honors. Mary Morgan, whose presence in the path of the flying bot- tle had caused her untimely demise, was acted by Claudia Rotello. Robert D. Chage bore with resignation the hatred of his audience in the role of the gam- bler, Harvey Green; Willie Hammond, the pride of the village, but not himself too proud to die in the cause of wreck- ing rum, was portrayed by Paul Alex- ander, Simon Slade, the landlord, was, WoobpwARD & LOTHROP 10™ 11™ F Axp G STREETS Greatly Underpriced High-Grade Otiental Rugs At generous savings; due to the arrival of this delayed shipment Only a very special purchase from a New York importer makes it possible to offer these one-of-a-kind Orientals at so much less than the usual prices.
