Pursuant to the call of the Public
Improvement association body of
representative citizens met yesterday
for the purpose of suggesting a name
for the Grinnell theatre After con-
siderable expression of opinion the
name Auditorium" was chosen. The
architect of the building. Geo. E. Hal
lett, of Dies Moines, is in the city and
ton of name were mixture of
amusement and chagrin. He says as
follows: Public buildings of this char
acter are of several varieties, accord
ing to the use for which they are de-
signed. For instance: opera house,
theater. coliseum. music hall, auditor
ium, lecture hall. forum chapel, etc.
This building in Grinnell is a theater
and as such has theatrical design
1t is not an auditorium in any sense of
the word, and to give 1t such name
would be Inappropriate and display not
only lack of taste, but lack of infor-
nation on such matters. Inasmuch as
the meeting yesterday was merely to
suggest and not to adopt finally, 1t
seems that the directors will have to
decide the matter. Malcolm has an
auditorium, which is enough for one
county.
