Theatre Offered Rent
Free For Harlem Play
New York—Harlem lovers or' com
mun'ty inspired and community man
aged. drama have an opportunity to
launch a program in a regular com
mercial house at no rent expense, ac
cording to Frank Schiffman, manager
of the Lafayet e Theatre, 7th avenue
and 131st street, who closed the house
last week. For several weeks the
Lafayette, formerly a vaudeville cen
ter. has been running ai a motion
picture theatre.
M.\ Schiffman, who is centering his
vaudeville interests at the Harlem
Opera House in 125th street, where
he is managing director, said if a
group of responsible people organized
themselves into a dramatic company
and came to him in a businesslike way
he would give the use of the Lafayette
free of rent as his contribut on to the
effort to revive drama in Harlem.
He said all the theatre expense the
group would have would be current,
such as lighting and janatorial. Mr.
Schiffman said also he would be glad
to g.ve such a group his professional
advice, enabling them to save money
or costumes, etc., and would help in
every way possible as a friend of the
drama to help make the project a
success. He said he has long wanted
to see the drama revived in Harlem,
but was not able to undertake it him
self, in view o’f his other theatrical
interests.
The Lafayette, the oldest playhouse
in Harlem and long noted as the finest
colored playhouse in America, has a
colorful history.
The Lafayette Players became fa
mous fifteen years ago, and many of
them later achieved stardom on
Broadway.

teacher of Estonia, the new indepen
dent. republic, spoke at Spelman Col
lege yesterday morntng. She ap
peared in her native costume.
As a teacher for ten years in Es

witness of scenes .n the World War
and tho Estonian War of Indepen
dence.

member of the Czar’s secret service,
and is a niece of the late Dr. Lepikov,
who served Alexander III and Nicho
las II.
In lie: lecture yesterday, Doctor
Judas told her audience of her person
al acquaintance w.th Rasputin. She
branded as false many stories that,
have been written about him, and
scored the propagandists who have
represented him as an unprincipled
person inim.cal to the welfare of the
Russian people. Doctor Judas is now
working on a study of Rasputin which
will appear in the near future under
the title “Raspub n—Neither Devil
Nor Saint".
Doctor Judas first came to the
United States in 1929 to learn the
English language and to study in
American schools. She represented
her country at the World’s Fair as an
international hostess at the Black
Forest Village.
During the last three years she has
lectured in the United States as well
as abroad in France, Germany, Fin
land, Latvia, and Estonia.
At the conclusion of her lecture

two Estonian songs.
