Committees Formed
To Push Initial Plans
For Cultural Center
Temporary committees were or
ganized last night by the Washing
ton Arte Committee as Its program
to set up a city cultural center here
got under way.
The group, which seeks "a healthy
coalition of the arts" here and co
operation of various cultural groups,
again discussed the possibility of
obtaining the Belasco Theater. The
theater is now owned by the Treas
ury Department.
The committees Is to contact other
groups in their respective art fields
to seek their representation at forth
coming meetings when further de
tails on use of the Belasco will be
discussed. Another duty of the com
mittees will be to aid in formulating
a "cohesive program." All the com
mittees will work in conjunction
with a general steering committee.
Jack I. Berkman, who presided
with J. G. Frain of the East and
West Association, suggested the
center should be operated on a co
operative plan, and if the Belasco
cannot be obtained, that an attempt
be made to get the former WAVE
Barracks at American University or
a similar structure.
"However," Mr. Berkman said, "I
think the Treasury Department will
listen to us very seriously."
Many persons prominent in art
circles gave their opinions on practi
! cal aspects of the plan for the
! center, particularly in respect to
! administration and finances.
Mr. Berkman pointed out that
the center must have city-wide
participation. "It must be a com
munity enterprise in the full sense
of the word," he emphasized.
Among activities which the center
would foster would be a repertory
theater and lectures, creative pres
entations and adult education in the
arts. Another meeting of the group
Is scheduled to take place shortly.
The group of District artiste seek
ing this outlet for presentation of
drama, creative dancing, music,
painting and other creative work,
met last night for the second time
in the library of the parish ball of
St. John's Episcopal Church.
The committees and their chair
men are: Batya Helen, dance;
David Campbell, drama: Sophocles
Pappas, music; Mr. Burkman, visual
arts; Sol Panitz, radio, and Mr.
Frain, Lay Committee.
The function of the Lay Com
mittee is to present the community
and community organizations in the
work of the proposed center.

SPRING will have a special meaning for you this year when you see this beautiful acre of ground
expertly planned and planted in rare trees and shrubbery. The picturesque gardens and lawn
are the result of years of patience, care and considerable expense. Featured, are 450 English and
American Boxwood, laid out as garden borders and in circular hedge, Japanese Cherry, Peeling Birch,
Redbud and Dogwood and one of the two smalt leaf Pines in this part of the country. Flowers and
plants of almost every description abound here. Fruit trees are plentiful and are bearing.
IN the midst of this lovely setting there rests one of the finer homes of the Washington area. No
expense was spared in the construction of this home and only the best of materials were used.
The fir lumber and quartered white oak flooring was bought and cured three years before the house
was built. All brick twelve-inch walls, copper piping and twelve-inch fir joists. The rooms are all
spacious, three master bedrooms, one with fireplace; two baths on the second floor. There is a wide
Colonial entrance hall with low riser stairway with landing, thirty-two-foot living room, with fireplace
and side porch; a stately dining room and a large efficient kitchen with ample pantry and cupboard
space. Half bath off the hall. Attractive recreation room with half bath and fireplace. The recreation
room floors are of two-inch baked tile, the same tile as on the porches and outside walks. General
Electric heating plant, oil. A three-car Cape Cop garage with space above, conservatory. The
shrubbery is insured for $10,000, and in time, will be worth considerably more, due to aging of the
boxwood. This home will warrant your personal inspection today. The house alone could not be
duplicated today for the asking price of $45,750.
