F—4 Union Station Turns Thirty Years of Age Arrivals and Defaartures t')y Train From National Capital Now Number 55,000 Daily—Increase Is Large. By William A. Bell, Jr. HIS is thirtieth anniversary year of Washington's Union Station, now one of the busiest terminals in the country and gtill one of the most beautiful, from the standpoint of location as well as of architecture. With trains arriving and departing on an average of one every six minutes, with 55,000 peo- ple inbound and outbound throughout a 24-hour day, it is the most repre- sentative place in town of the spec- tacle of restless mankind's moving from one place to another. Now as never before America is on the go. Higher incomes, structural and decorative improvements in rail- road equipment and lower rail fares have pushed the volume of train travel to high levels and more than 20,000,- 000 people a year are flowing through the gateway ot the Washington Terminal. Most of these travelers have tickets for destinations 100 miles or more away. That is a feature of the sta- tion which distinguishes it from others presenting a husier scene—it is prin- cipally a through-train station, serv- ing virtually no large suburban com- munities where rail facilities are used extensively. Under present schedules, the first daily arrival at Union Station is a train from Memphis due at 1 a.m. Between that time and the last train from New York at 11:40 p.m, 113 trains will have emptied their passen- gers on the station’s concrete plat- forms. Departures, beginning with & train for New Orleans at 12:05 am. and ending with an Atlanta-bound train at 11:59 p.m, currently total 116 every 24 hours. And this rail- road men call an “off season"! Sched- ules were far more crowded between December 15 and April 15, travel to Bouthern Winter resorts having been among the briskest in history. Winter vacationists were going to Florida and thereabouts at such a rate that some trains were running in four and five sections and on one day 10 sections of a Florida train were operated. THE immense volume of travel in and out of Washington also is reflected by the fact that approxi- mately 5,000 tickets daily were sold at Union Station last menth, an in- crease of about 40 per cent over the corresponding month in 1936. Ticket revenues, it was learned. have in- | creased approximately 10 per cent. Present train service out of Wash- ington for New York, and vice versa, provides 29 arrivals and 28 departures daily. & reservation is wanted on a Pullman leaving some other point than Wash- ington, the station will obtain it by wire., So experienced are the information and reservation clerks that often they can give the requested information without consulting time tables or rate books. When there has been a change of schedules or rates, however, they are directed not to rely on memory. This was true, for instance, when day- light saving time became effective in numerous Eastern cities served by railroads out of Washington. The longest ticket ever sold at Union Station within the memory of employes in the station ticket office was & round-the-world ticket, paid for in cash. It included boat tickets, of course, and coupons for rail travel abroad. This rare incident occurred about 20 years ago. Just recently a ticket to Mexico City was sold at Union Station, but this was said to be a not uncom- mon occurrence, It is rare these days, according to railroad men, for a traveler to be un- able to secure the desired Pullman | reservation. He may not get the lower | he wants in the middle of the car, but | he’ll usually manage to get some kind | of Pullman accommodation on the | train on which he is planning to travel. That is, unless he waits until the very last minute. When it is foreseen that & train is | filling up, provision can be made | quickly for the addition of extra cars and Pullmans. Around Christmas | time, as many as 100 extra cars a day were being put on trains leaving Union Station. Now this number has dropped to an average of 15 or 20. There is said to be more train serv- ice out of Washington for the East, West and South than ever before. It is likewise believed by railroad men that trains using Union Station repre- sent the most modern development in this type of transportation equipment. They are among the best and fastest in the country is the claim, In speaking of themselves and their duties, Union Station forces are care- ful to omit anything that might be construed as not wholly impartial to | all the railroads which the station serves. | Outdoor Amusements THE SUNDAY STAR Coming Attractions Downtown Theaters Book Films for Next Week.

Photoplays in Washington Theaters This Week Sunday Open-Air Theater Will Opeiqthollege Park “Steve” Cochran Has Secured University of Maryland Coliseum for Plays Fresh From Broadway and Revivals. By John Jay Daly. IKE the girl who must have mu- sic wherever she goes, the American people must have dramsa even when the regular theater season is over. To meet an inherent demand in hu- man nature, that perennial producer | of plays, Stephen Augustin Daly Coch- ran, s Washington boy born under a stage apron, is going to give the resi- dents of this locale drama under the stars. Cochran will open his “star-flecked” theater this Summer on the Univeraity of Maryland campus—in the university coliseum, to be exact. His company will be the National Players, out- growth of the old National Theater Players, who for 11 Summers held forth on E street. The curtain will be Tun up on the new company's first ef- fort the night of July 12. With the catch-phrase, “Stars in the drama under the stars,” Cochran has been planning theatrical presenta- tions which he hopes will appeal to drama lovers of both Washington and { Baltimore. The idea is to offer some 10 or 12 plays fresh from the province of Broadway, or classic revivals, or Cochran believes that Washingtonians, what with the improved boulevard sys- tems surrounding the city, are eager and anxious to take their trusty steel steeds by the steering wheels and go flivvering into the country in search of the elixir called drama. “Steve's” plan has the approval and aid of his friend, George C. Tyler, vet- eran American producer. Mr. Tyler is willing, if there is a demand, to bring down some of his old-time successes. Other Broadway friends of the Wash- ington impressario have given the idea their blessing. The coliseum where the Cochran- produced plays are to be given is equipped with a sliding glass roof that can be drawn over audience and stage if & thunder shower threatens. At the first sprinkle of rain the roof will be drawn without interruption of the play or annoyance to the spectators. Complete plans for the venture have not been announced. Cochran con- templates a trip or two to New York soon for informal comferences with colleagues in the world of the theater. John McKee, who was for 10 years plays that are right off the pens of | general stage director for Henry W. their authors. THE trend in Summer theater is to | Savage, will be director of the National Players. Associated with him will be | Addison Pitt, son of the beloved stags sbandon cities for the suburbe.! star, Fanny Addison Pitt. With His Ears Widrc_e Open F YOU want to cure your insom- nia, be a comedian. W. C. Fields is famed for the ease with which he can drift off into a restful snooze, whilst all about him are tear- ing their hair as they argue over a script. Eddie Cantor hasn't lost a night's sleep in years—except when he goes to parties, which isn't often. Another blissful devotee of Morpheus is Jack Benny, the star of Para- mount’s “Artists and Models,” who | can speak over the radio to about | 10,000,000 people, curl up on a couch and sleep as hard as if he had been clubbed on the head. Eddie Welch, who has been writ- ing sketches for him since the first Earl Carroll's “Vanities,” doesn't trou- | ble himself about Benny's knack an; more. “It did bother me at first, years 240, when I used to go to his apert- ment in Manhattan,” says Welch, in his armchair and be fast asleep. “I didn't know whether my play was rotten or whether Benny was just naturally sleepy. I would read on, anyway, at the top of my voice, for my own satisfaction. Better a self-audience than none at all. And when I left he would be in a shooza 50 deep that it seemed to border on catalepsy. “The queer thing about it is that he heard everything and could re- peat the play word for word the next day or a week afterward.” It must be a gift, Welch thinks. Benny has it worked down to a fine point. Looking at his watch in the dressing room at Paramount, he may see he has just time for 20 winks, {or 35 or 40, sets his mind for so many minutes ahead, then drops asleep and wakes up on the dot.
