THEATRE E nnnnnrn UUUIVILU OLDEST THEATRE IN AMERICA PUT "OX BLOCK" Bowery Theatre In w l'ork Built ' : Sine: 1828 to Be Sold. New YorkMarch 29. (Special) within a few days the oldest the atre in America is to be sold at auc tion and probably ' will end its career as a place of amusement, giving way to some big business building. Sine, 1826 this . old playhouse, originally named the Bowery theatre, and In more recent years the . Thalia, has stood in the Bowiry a few doors above. Chatham square and has fur nished entertainment for four genera tions of New Yorkers.' In its early days nearly all the famous figures of th artor'a profession trod Its boards and It was h re that the "greenroom" as a feature of theatre equipment ori ginated, taking its name from the fact that this pioneer meeting room for the players was decorated In gr.en. In 1879 the preponderance of Ger mans in the population of the sur rounding section caused it to be turn-1 ed Into a German theatre and it was here that Helnrich Conrled began his progress toward fame as an actor and manager of German plays. As the Germans moved further uptown there was another change in the fortunes of the old playhouse and for a time It was devoted to melodramas of the "Nellie, the Beautiful Cloak Model' type. Still more recently the Jewish Influx Into the lower East side con verted it into the Borne of the Yiddish drama. In a city with more venera tion for age the old theatre doubtless would be preserved for Its historic as-1 sociatlon, but here the demands of trade are likely to mak: short work SUNDAY CLOSING DESIRED POSTMASTER GENERAL WAJiTS CARRIERS TO REST SUSDAY. Proponed Plan Simply Does Away With Carrier Windows. Acting on instructions from Post master General Hitchcock, the local postofflce officials are discussing the proposition of conforming with the newly instituted practice of closing ih. carrier windows on Sundays. This has been done in many of the metro politan postofflces and the postmaster general is anxious to have the system adopted in all cities, though it Is op- ional. of course. The propos.d plan is to keep the general delivery window open for a fhort time to accommodate transients, handle mall and dispatch it as now, drop mail Into lock boxes as now, but closes the carrier windows and the registry department. In this way the entire carrier force would not have to work on Sunday and about half of the regular office force would be allowed to let a Sunday go by without work- ag. Expression of public sentiment on thf proposition is desired by the postoffice here. .. ,)V . . , , J""" '""""' . . '" 1 " ', "' 1 1 " ,""" ""' I 1 ' Ivcrvbddv Wants: a Mem Hat Mnvu ',. J jT - WWV'.

On this statement he hinged a greater nortlon of his Introductory address. The construction of lakes, the build ing of parks and. introducing border plants on yards and parks alike, were toine subjects handled. In this phase i !;eautlflcation he took occasion t- compliment the natural sceuerv of s local park Us nnturfl setting ''r t !i!::I anl fur tetter than '.hat J lha handiwork ut uiaa tan proviJ.j atd outline. ' Cemeteries came in for discusHion. "Get away from walks around each lot in your cemeteries and glvs loaS at tention to raised mounds,' he s.id. "One stone is enough the font stone is superfluous and retards proper care." The proper manner to trim trees is to cut the limb off close to the tree and let nature heal the wound. Ho threw pictures on the screen to reoreseul how many of the La Grande trees had been mutilated by having their tops cut off. This is disastrous from an artistic standpoint and should be dis couraged here. " Home grounds should be beautified to the highest possible degree for it Is th:re that character is built anvir onment where one lives has a vast amount to do with character budding. In this relation he Impressed upon his hearers the necessity of simplicity as the heart of iconomy. The resi dences should be built on one side of the lot and the border planted to trees and shrubbery but the center of tha lot should not be marred let the fore ground be simply green grass. The unpaved .streets "in La Grande cam.- in for heated crhicism. His sug gested panacea, however, wae the split drag, which can do more for the streets of La Grande than all the pat- ;nted tools put together. He hint d that in place of one "clean up" day a year, there should be 363. It was also his advice that there be a weekly garbage collection. DIscussInj epidemics, he said tha. mosquitoes do not br.ed In- larg4 pond or in running rivers. 1 May Bid1 Flies. "No," he insisted holding up a warn ing finger, "the place where mosqui toes breed is at the bottom of garbage cans. "They tuil mi you have a lot of files in this city. The reason for that la the numerous manure piles. I saw many of them. Get rid of the manure piles and you will have gotten rid of the flies. i "Th n vnn rinova Tha aav ,.,. bma likely to be somewhat dissatisfied with the showing of your census; why, I tell you, if the dogs could be added to the census, you would have fully dou ble thetpopulatlon." Mr. Weed thin showed that the fleas on dogs' backs brought disease. home of the speaker's epigrams were admirable. Among tlum: "The bury boy of today Is the busl ness man of tomorrow. Coys brought up in idleness become the tramps of civilization." "Environment has more to do with the formation of character than he redlty." 'if w; went orr children to have tht 'bot cdi'catlrn muf nurround the:r , witii best possible conditions. Schoo grounds ought to he beautified." "If you want to know where to put a sidewalk, don't put It until a rUt ' worn. Stop 'cutting across' by building sidewalks in the direction of the traf fic." "Take advantage of your small yards. I often get tired of hearing, 'You can't dovanything on a small lot.' It Is far more Important that what you do you do well. The front entrance to your house should be a beauty spot." "The cost of Improvement is not. much. The principal requirement is inclination." Mr. Weed Intimated that Bldewalks should not be placed close to the curb This was to give some relit f from the glare. He contended there should be an edging of green, He opposed the "gang" method of cleaning the streets and favored the "one man" method one man being given a defiite allot ment to clean. The High School Glee club under the direction of Miss AngBt, prefaced the lecture with two well-rendered numbers. ' MIKE WALLER BUYS. EHjhtjNUre Farm of Chas. E. Smith JnsKEast of City Is Sold.
