The Northwest section of Washington, D. C., is soon to be the home of another picture th ter, costing approximately $300,000 and seating about 1,200. Announcement has been made | Clare B. and Graham Hoffman have acquired under long lease terms a site on Fourteentl street, Northwest, between Crittenden and Buchanan, and ground has already been broken for the building. The Hoffman brothers say the house, which will be known as ‘‘The Park’’, will be one of the finest appointed strustures in the city. GLIMPSES OF INDIA (Continued from page 52) was completed. The Taj is not a ruin. It has been plundered. The sheet of pearls that once covered the cenotaph is missing. ‘The solid silver doors are gone. The Persian carpets are now trod upon by European kings. And those carpets now in use trod upon by wandering proletariats. The precious stones remain as well as the gold lining im the sarcophagus. It appears that Mumtaz-i-Maehall's resting place has not escaped every kind of plunderer—except those who would open her grave for its gold lining. The Taj is glorious, but the love story that it holds is more so, The great Moguls were not alone in the matter of building mausoleums. There ere tombs without number in India which have remained unidentified for years. Many of them in perfect state of preservation. Others represented by nothing but a broken cenotaph or a mixed mass of brick, red eandstone and marble. They are interesting because no one is interested in them No one is interested enough to repair them. No doubt, when building material is needed, the old tombs contribute liberally. For year by year the mass of ruins slowly grows less. What remains are broken pieces of no apparent use unless they are hauled away to make beds for concrete foundations for new jute milla. Here, there and over all of India candles flicker in small openings of tombs. Some of these are in the hearts of cities. They are tombs, but whose, no one knows, but somebody eares enough to place lighted candles in them. Along cOuntry roads, or looking from a train window, many tombs clouded in mystery and long forgotten are to be seen. The Mohammedan builds his tomb where he pleases. The only requirement is that he acquire the land honestly. One may be on a river bank, another on a mountain peak, another stands conspicuously alone in the heart of a desert plain. There are tombs scattered the length and breadth of India. And the wealthy Mohammedans are still building them on the river banks, in the hearts of deserts and in the hearts of cities, in the jungles and on lone mountains. Without her Mohammedan mosques and tombs, her Jain and Hindu temples and her imperial palaces India would not be India.
