THEREFORE, ERNEST FRED
ERICKSON ASKS THE COURT
FOR A DIVORCE AND IS
GRANTED HIS REQUEST

A workhouse helpmate is not to the
liking of Ernest Theodore, Frederick
son, who appeared this morning as a
plaintiff in divorce case against

Worse.
"Silberberg's bail has not been reduced
to $1,000. Such a step may be taken
later, but at present wish to watch the
progress of his disease
This statement by Judge F. c. Brooks
dlsposes Of rumor .afoat this morning
that the prisoner would be allowed to go

.BERE WITH CASH
FOR THEATER SITE
ORPHEUM COMPANY OFFICERS
COMPLETE THEIR PURCHASE.
President Meyerfeld Says Safety Will
Be the Big Factor Considered in the
Construction of the New Playhouse
viii Have Exits on All -Four Sides.

Morris Meyerfeld, Jr., of San Fran
cisco, president of the Orpheum Cir
cult company. which yesterday pur-
chased the Seventh street site for the
Compromised polite vaudeville"
theater, arrived in Minneapolis this
morning in company with General
Manager Martin Beck and Superin-
tendent Of Construction B. r. Hender-
son Of New York.
The three spent most Of the day in
Walter L. Badgers office considering
the details of the big real estate
transaction which he closed yesterday
and which gives them title to 194 feet
on Seventh street between Hennepin
and Nicollet avenues and will give
Minneapolis another first-class the
alter.
1--WE cannot go into the details of
the building plans we have in view be-
cause they are not completed yet"
said Mr.. Meyerfeld. I'VE are not
sure that we will build on our entire
frontage at this time or whether we
will at first build the theater only.
"One thing is certain. We will
make very effort to have one Of the
safest theaters in the country and
the local authorities you can say that
we will gladly build just as they want
us to.
ITO my mind a safe theater is better
than fire proof theater. That is, a
theater which has plenty Of exits
which can be used in emergency is
much better than an iron theater in
which the people can be locked and
roasted to DEATH
No Elaborate Scenery Used.
zone thing greatly to the advantage
Of the Orpheum circuit theaters is
that the performers are the show in
our houses and not the scenery" said
Mr.. Beck. I'VE produce no Specta-
cles and our people need but very
few drops or set pieces to give them
all the stage effects they want.
has its merit and people like to see
pretty stage pictures. But with our
patrons 1t is a case of the looking at
and listening to the performer almost
altogether, and that greatly lessons
the danger of fire."
The first draft Of the plans for the
new Orpheum theater which will be
built on Seventh street this year, con-
template an auditorium which opens
onto an alley on each side as we'll as
into the street in front. It is proposed
to have nothing but exits on each side
Of the auditorium and on each floor
so that the danger Of holding a panic
stricken audience in the building is al
most nil.
Property Bought Outright.
Mr.. Meyerfeld came armed with
letters Of credit which enable the the
atrical managers to buy their proper
ty outright. 1--WE always invest our
money and do our building before we
begin to take anything in,' said Mr..
Beck. The company holds title to the
circuit houses in San Francisco, Los
Angeles, Denver New Orleans, Kansas
City, Omaha and ST. Joseph and will
by next season have similar invest
ments in Minneapolis, Seattle and
Portland, Ore. 1t also controls
houses in Cincinnatti Indianapolis, ST..
Louis and Chicago.
