Greenbelt Theater Boasts The Only Girl House Manager in Washington
n~· R<-•hh~· S<ll••t
Tw(·nt v-frmr vear old ShirJ,·y KopJ)(·nhaw·r, (;re•:nbdt Theat1·r"s new house- manager, iR the only girl house ma.nag..-r in the entire Washington Ar{'a Exchange, which covcrs some 800 th~aters in the District, Marylard, Virginia: and Delaware. Fiw· f'·et-five, brown-haired, hazel-: ~yed and slPnder, Shirley dr_,esn't look quite sturdy: enough to he the secn•tary - book-keeper - nursemaid - executive - advertising genius - receptionist - usher combination that makes for a theater house manager. But Jack Fruchtman, making puhlic Shirley's appointment as of November 25, expresHed sincere satisfaction "with Shirley's future and her attention to the theater on the daily scale that is needed."
''We are pleased," Fruchtman sa.ld, "with the r<.~eption from GCS and from the people, and Shirley know how strongly wiah to make th theater a ceiN!." This

no "overnight ctalon", he pba.slzed. Sh has been working in the theater ever she came Greenbelt eight months a6o and early showed uncsual interest in the manifold operations needed to ma.ke a. movie·hou:~e run. When the vacancy for houae manager occurrt."<i, Fruchtman admits he WNI reluctant to take on a girl, but the record In Shirley's OW!e and the will to succeed were t.o obviously outstanding that he was won over.

During the put 3•ear they have tried double t~atures, Saturday morning shows, change of billing for Saturday night, jackpots, prizes, all without the necessary response to ke~p th::! i.11novations going.

Expanf'lion In M~ny \Vays
Tht• new house manager will be particularly concerned with pub· licity and puhllc relations. Th-:! theater wants to make itself known in a.s many adjoining com· muniti(•s as po:saible since the sail yd undeniable lesson of experience haR b<·en that Gn~cnbclt alone .~annot or wi !I not keep their movie-house solvl'nt. In a program designed for expansion, pub· lie service l0<1ms large Fruchtman hopes to work closdy with schools and P'l'As on •Jarious piclt;,r~s. such as Th0 Day the Earth ~toDd StlU. an•l the D:sney trlpk~t.s on nature, one of which --· ''atun-'s Hnlf-Af'rf" -- haa already appeared ht>rc. Advance publicity wm be a must to-: all t.tunts and special prograzr1s, 11uch as amateur nights. local talent shows, and even more professional stage entertainment. F'rnchtman t>mphaslzt'd that the theater's facilities will be available at all times to community orga1nlzat1ons: the only limitat!on on management's helpfulness wl!l be a financial on('.

City Council Approvu 1952 Budget · Of $256,527.14; PHA Ac.tion Awaited
B)· .l. J. Parker
The 1952 budget for Greenbelt was passed unanimously by the l ity council at its regular meeting last Monday night. A total of ::::!fl6.527.14 will be nee·ded for the eoming year, with $202,614.73 tu be requested from the Public Housing Administration for "paynwnt in lieu of taxes." The real property tax rate wa.s established at S3.6.S per $100 assessed valuation and the tax "ate or. pP.~onal J•n•ru·rty remains $1 per $100 valuation.
Housing Group Plans To Increase Members
.-\ preliminary organizational m•.:eting of a new Gr..:enbelt Vett·r·an.s Housing Corporation c.>mtnittee to incre~ membership «nd obtain deposits on the pure hase price was held Tuesday :•!ght. Anticipating the early announcement ot the sales price of Greenbdt by Public Housing Administration, work will now begin to prepare GVHC membel'Ship for the "'tim<!-table" established for the nlgotiated .sale .
Mik(: Salzman, president of GVHC, disclosed that the pric~ 1,hould be forthcoming t:his week. If not announced by tonight, ofhcers of GVHC plan to visit P.HA for consultation.
.Members of the c<m1mittee are Robert Davenport, cha!r:man, and four vice-presid~nbs: Helen Cowell, Carolyn Miller, Lloyd Moore and Earl Thomas. The city has been £Lvided into four sections which E.'ach vice-president wili o!"ganize into district.l! for "blo.:k captains."
According to the negotiation ;,o::hedule, GVHC must have a min· tmum of 800 members, and deposit ··earnest money". Ten percent of ~ut::h money will bi! a "good faith" df'posit. This must be done three months from the date ot the announced price. 1n the next thr~ months, the 10% down payme:nt must be made, plus pre-paid, taxes, insurance, and money for an op<·rating fund. <Thls may amount <o 12-13'"L> At the end of .six months. ':.itle ca:1 be transferred if all the conditions arc n1et.
CO-OP NURSERY The Greenbelt Cooperative Nurs
t ry School !las a few vacancies in it,; morning class for three year o!ds, and in it:; afternoon class for four year olds. A week's free trial is being offen-d to prospective MPmb('rs. For further informatj.on about the school call Mrs. Robert Anders. Gr-2926.
.-\ bake sale for the benefit of the S('hool wiil be held ()n Friday, De(';·mb<'r 21, in front of the Green· belt Theater.
The budget was unaltered af+..er last Thursday's public h~aring on the budget. About twelve citizens attendoo the hearing and several minor ·suggestions were made. It \\as determined tha.t the sutrgE>S· tions .:ould be undert.l.ken later within the present budget.
Mayor Frank La.stnttr was .lU
thorized by the counc!l to sign R.
l:udget agreement with PtH:A for the budget amount requested. The budget is now at PHA's o111ce· awaiting t!1eir approval.
There were no indications from council as to the reception the budget would receive by PliA Close scrutiny is anticipated since there will be no surplus declared from this year"s budget and the 1952 budget exceeds last year's b~ almost $28,000. Most of this aJnOunt re,;mlts, however, from "COIQ of liv.ng" pay increases to cUy employeea; these followed simllar federal government pay increases.
Phone Issue The most "controv~raial" issue tO
confront the council during the budget deliberation was a plea by councilman Ben G<lldfaden to re· place the private phone .service for Public Health Nurse Frances· Stauffer. He reported that many t:itizens had called him recently ex· pressing dissatisfaction with the present arrangemi'nt. <P..esidents must now use t'he city switchboard, b:; oalling 2011, to contact the public health ofllce. Previ09Bly, re.sidmlts could eall her directly.> Mrs. Stauffer stat<?d that many resit'!ents told her the.y wet,:, reluctant to call her on health matters because they considered the;r privacy was jeqpardized by the present :~ystem. She suggest<:!d that citizens were not using this public i
service !lt a result. City manager Charles McDon
ald explained that the eonsolidation was effected for purpoBes of efficiency and economy. A!l call.s are now recorded and .n~g<J:s are relayed to the pub!ic health nurse if she is ·not available at the time of the call. He stated that there is more "privacy" at present than before; all the calls are taken, with no ri::~k that the nurse. may miss them.
The council felt that the present system is the Ler:.t. Uoldfad<>n stated that he would .lppreciat1;
the presen~e a.t council m~tings o! those residents dis!::atisfied with the prrsent phone- arrangement.
Subversive Issue McDonald is Sull investigating
the publications being sent. . to the public library by t.he Soviet Em· hassy to deter-mine whether they are subversive. He has .been m contact with superintendent of schools William Schmidt; there is n board whic.'I surveys such matter in the school system. He has been informed that the pubHcation is available at the Congressional Library. Meanwhile, the material has been witlldrawn from the library shelves.

But when she got h•'r fust job in a theat<·r, she· changPd h('r mind and ··- apparently -t·hanged it for good. Unlike most attractive young girb exposed to any phase of movie lifE~. Shirley never wanted to be an actress. When she has the time, she like• to read. "! read everything," she> told us, but she likes best the seriomJ fic~ion turned out by Lloyd C.
