WILL PROBABLY NOT REOPEN.
Large Percentage of Chicago Theaters
May Remain Closed.

Chicago, Jan 6-The special COM
mittee composed of members of the
city council appointed to investigate
the condition of the local theaters and
report upon what alterations are neces-
sary to make them conform to the
building ordinances, held its first
meeting Tuesday.
According to the statement Of Al
derman Friestedt, one of the members
Of the committee, it is doubtful if 95
per cent of the theaters will ever re.
open their doors. Strict adherence to
the building laws would require that
every one of the playhouses in the city
be of fire proof construction and this
would require the demolition and re-
building of the majority of theaters.
