.LUB|N'S OPENING
HALTED BY BECK !.
Crowd Waiting Outside to See
New Vaudeville Theatre Had
to Wait in Vain

BY order of Building Inspector Beck,
Electrical Inspector Speights and Chief
Joynes, Of the Fire Department, the
Lubin Theatre was not permitted to
open its new addition or the gallery
yesterday. Inspection by the officers
showed that the building was incom-
plete in several details, and 1t prob
ably will take at least two days TO
complete the work.
A short time before the matinee
yesterday afternoon application was
made to the Building Inspector to per-
nit the opening, which had been wide-
ly advertised but noting the unfnish
ed condition of the structure, each
grant the request.
As a large crowd had gathered, ver-
bal permission was given to use the
main auditorium the old part OF the
building, for the rest of the matinee
time. and one act was put on. Last
| night a temporary permit was issued
the management to use that portion
OF the theatre. the new electrical fix.

and found safe by Inspector Speights.

the contractors that his house would
be complete in every detail by rto-mor-

! Inspector Beck found the addition,
| the capacity of which is about 100
seats. TO be in an unfinished condition
and certain parts of the concrete con-
struction not sufficiently set to be
safe
The new stairway leading to the
gallery has not clearance enough and
must be partially cut out overhead.
! After a conference with Mr., Speights
and Chief Joynes, Mr.. Beck decided ,c
close the theatre. and 1t was with their
| sanction that the temporary use of the
old part was finally allowed. The COM
pletion OF the electrical system has
been delayed. IL is said, because an
important portion Of the equipment
has been held UP in New York ny tbs

( made he was not aware that the de-
fects pointed out by the inspectors
existed. He was satisfied with the
