NEW VALIANT One of the prominent features
of the 1964 Valiant is the grille which extends
the full width between the headlights. Shown
in Detroit is the Signet V-200, a two-door hard
top which is one of the nine models in the 1964
Valiant line. (UPI)

Closing of Washington's Capitol
Theater Ends Some Sort of Era
By DICK WEST
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
famous old Capitol Theater in
downtown Washington was
.closed this
week, marking
the end of an
: era. Actually,
i I'm not sure
which era it
marked the end
of. I just threw
that in to get
your attention.
My journalism
wcii professor once
told me that nobody gives a
hang about a theater closing un
less an era ends with it.
Anyway, the Capitol is closed,
a victim of America's changing 1
cultural pattern. Its interior is
being converted to office space
for lawyers and other profes
sional men.
Apparently, more people go to
see lawyers nowadays than go
to see movies. And with law
yers you have to bring your
own popcorn.
An effort was made to per
suade Congress to save the
theater, but Congress was too
busy doing other things
like watching television. So
the Capitol had to close.
As I crossed its ornate lobby
and climbed its grand staircase
for the last time, nostalgia was
gushing from every pore.

Which was strange, because I
had never been in the theater
before. I'm the drive-in type my
self. What prompted my visit was
the sale by auction of the Capi
tol's furnishings, which included
some valuable antique pieces,
particularly in the rest rooms.
I wanted to see if I couid
pick up an antique "standing
room only" sign cheap.
When I arrived, the auction
eer was holding forth in the
"ladies' salon" on tile mezza
nine. It was called the "Dubar
ry Room." I didn't get the con
nection. Knur cast marble drink
ing fountains with cherubs on
the pedestals sold for around
$200 each. "Any arrangements
for a plumber you'll have to
make yourself," the auction
eer announced.
Eight brass poles from which
velvet ropes once were suspend
ed sold for $7 apiece. I asked
one of the losing bidders what
he had wanted with them."
"Well," he said, "they ought
to make good hitching posts."
"Do you own some horses?"
"No, I live in an apartment,"
he said.
Unfortunately, the "standing
room only" signs weren't put on
the block while I was there. But
I felt richer for the expreience.
I had witnessed the end of an
era.

UPI Education Specialist
Reading programs in schools
have been under attack by non
educators and educators alike.
What effect has this criticism
had on the schools throughout
the country?
In many situations, the only
change has been an increased
emphasis on the teaching of
phonics (sounds).
Some years ago the phonics
method was under attack and
the answer was the present
look-say method.
This cycle has not achieved
much progress.
What is wrong with the read
ing program? An analysis ot
instructional methods and ma
terials seems , to indicate a
variety of problems.
Some of the books leave much
to be desired. Take a look at
your child's reading textbook.
The stories may be dull and lack
imagination. A child is looking
for excitement in his reading.
Our modern world is full of fas
cinating events. These real
events have more creativeness
than made up stories.
Must Arouse Interest I
Would you read a dull novel?
Why should your child? There
cannot be true motivation to
learn unless an individual's in
terests are aroused.
Consider the kind of reading
materials which children do en
iov. Have you ever had diffi
culty convincing your child to sit
and read a comic book? Boys
race through the "Tom Swift"
series. Girls are intrigued by
the "Bobsy Twins." "Alice in
Wonderland" is a classic. Why
attempt to make children enjoy
reading about a boy's dull trip
to his grandmother's house?
A research study, designed to
determine the kinds of stories
most interesting to children re
sulted in some particularly per
tinent information.
An analysis of the combined
responses of boys and girls in
dicated that they were interest
ed in action, adventure, sur
prise, and humor. Boys as a
group preferred themes con
cerned with games, sports, hob
bies, and handicraft activities.
Girls indicated interest in
stories about jumping rope,
playing house, collecting dolls
and doll's costumes, and caring
tor tne baby.
Valuable Information
A study of this type supplies
valuable information as to the
kinds of stories which would in
terest young boys and girls.
Where are the best seller lists
for children's books? Here is an
untapped market. There are
millions of youngsters waiting.
Parents would not intentionally
deprive their child of the oppor
tunity to read a good book.
