James, a local com- munity worker, who has directed Rus- sian and Italian as well as English productions in New York. The theater, in which, it is said,. "the plays of all nations" will be giv- en by amateurs and professionals will be one of the tiniest in the city. It will seat only 299 persons but the plans contemplate that it shall be complete and modern in every way. The site selected is on the upper East Side. Crowds Entertained Russians, Italians, Czecho-Slovak- ians and many other former Euro- peans for years have presented grand opera, comedy and tragedy written by masters whose work has never been. seen by Broadway theater-goers. Mr. James, who is enthusiastic about his' venture says that the primitive love for acting is very much alive in New York and that the zest for self-expres- sion which persists among'These one- time immigrants even in small dingy public halls with wretched stage ac- coutrements will never die. "Night after night, all over New York," said Mr. James, "amateur act- ors of foreign nationalities entertain crowds of their countrymen with bet- ter plays than Broadway usually sees. Less than five percent of them have ever been inside a Broadway theater. When they do go to American shows it is necessarily to the cheapest kind. The influence of this is manifested in the taste for art which their children: the pleasures they were used to in the develop. But the parents never forget 'old country.' Many Inicluded "This is what I mean: A town that I know of in Bohemia, of 7,000 inhab- itants, produced 'The Flying Dutch- man' for their own entertainment. It must have taken every member of the community to put it on. I have some- times offered the tiny stage at the Lenox Hill Settlement where I direct dramatics, but when I say to an ex- cellent group of Bohemian amateurs, 'come and play for us' "the Bartered Bride," by your famous countryman, Smetana,' they answer: 'Our orchestra would leave no room for the audience! And with such a small stage and no dressing rooms it would be impossi- ble'." Interest in the Folk Theater has' been taken by Hunter College which will celebrate its 50th anniversary here tomorrow with a festival includ- ing a benefit performance of "The Two Orphans," a play just a half century. old itself. The box office receipts will be used as a nucleus for Mr. James' theater enterprise. The Bohemian art- ists, Mitetka and Myresek, who have sympathized with the dramatic efforts of their fellow countrymen, have of- sfered to co-operate, it is said, in the decorative arrangements and prepara- tion of scenery. Indianapolis to Observe Centennial Indianapolis, Iod., May 20.-Indian- apolis will observe the centennial of its founding on June 7. Celebrations of the event will be held over part of a week, F, WYrr,.ti IN LRUN Ut UUI MNI Reports of the special Building com- mnittee which have been sent by the Board of Education to all the voters in the Ann Arbor school district show that the University is not the only ed- ucational institution in this city which has suffered from rapid increase, and lack of proper equipment. The re- port of their needs is accompanied by an appeal for the voters' support when the $750,000 bond issue is to be voted on. These bonds are to be expended only as the money is absolutely necessary, rather than all at once. Four new buildings, with the necessary equip- ment are to be built with this money, besides some necessary improvements and property additions. Two of the buildings will be started next fall if the bond issue is successful. There il no more doubt that the grammar and high schools need room than that the university is over-crowded. ,The average number of pupils in a school-room should be 30, and under existing conditions there are more than 40, while it is not at all uncom- mon to find more than 50 in a room. According to the plan now under con- sideration there will be 77 class rooms for the grammar grades besides audi- toriums, physical education rooms, rQnms .for domestic science and mang ual training, necessary offices, rest rooms, and other facilities for com- munity work. larg erved ger 1. w- I UNION PACIFIC EMPLOYEES START CO-OPERATIVE STORE Tas very good, buitJunction City, Kans., May 20.--A co- found nothing fav- operative general store has been open- report. g ed here by employes of the Union Pa- hogs have resulted cific railroad company.
