SAVOY THEATRE
NOW BEAUTY SPOT

An interesting building operation
that has been going on without much
fuss. and which has worked re-
markable transformation is that Of
the enlargement of the Savoy Thea
ire, of which Nicholas A. Jones is pro-
prietor, at No. 515-517 Market street.
During the past six weeks the inter
ior Of the building, only half of which
had been used, has been completely
torn out, and the theatre now 90
cupies the entire building. II con-
tains $50 chairs. and the interior is
finished in oil painting. sky effect, for
the walls. with maroon wainscoting.
The picture screen is about six feet
above the floor, so that everybody can
see. The floor has a gradual in
cline, and the picture machine room
is on the second floor, entirely inde-
pendent of the auditorium. The
theatre has cold air circulating out
fit, and there are two emergency exit
doors opening on Shipley street, in
addition to doors the entire width OF
the Market street entrance. Cathedral
glass Of ornamental designs is used
throughout in doors and windows. II
certainly is pretty little theatre.
The Savoy is to be re-Opened this
afternoon.

INTEREST in
ROOF GARDEN

Much public interest has been arous-
ed over the announcement that Build
ing Inspector Cassidy yesterday had
issued permit to the Manufacturers
Contracting Company, a DUPONT con-
cern, to erect a roof garden on the
present addition to the DUPONT Build
ing, which is nearing completion. AS
a matter of fact the roof garden has
been in course of construction for
some time, the drawings for it being
on the original plans of the addition,
but the permit was not taken out un-
til yesterday. The cost of this improve
ment is estimated at $50 900
The architecture of the roof garden
is continuation Of the present build
ing The garden proper is spacious
with a pent house covering the stairs
and elevators. There is also floor space
for kitchen, pantry, dining room, etc,
and in addition two water fountains
are provided for in the plans and will
be operated during the time the root
garden is open.
II was said today that this garden
will eventually be a part of the pro-
posed twelve story hotel adjoining the
second section of the DUPONT Building
when 1t is erected
The roof garden building will prac-
tically be a three story structure
making that portion of the DUPONT
Building fifteen stories high.
Evening journal., 1911-05-13

Property values undoubtedly will
be given big boost uptown by the
building of the hotel adjoining the
present DUPONT Building. Indeed,
values have been leaping all along
Market and adjoining streets in re-
cent years, and more than $4,000 a
foot has been obtained for one Mar
ket street store that is not a corner
property. either. Some persons con-
tend that present high valuations are
inflated but there has been no ten
dency for values TO fall.
That the proposed hotel will be
built now seems certain. Even if
the city does not have the ready
money, the proposal made by the Con-
tinental Life Insurance Company yes
terday to take the city's obligation for
the purchase price until the city gets
money available should remove the
last obstacle
Some persons have had an impress
sion that the Continental Company
has been unwilling to part with its
property and had baked the extern
sion of the DUPONT Building to Elev-

rectors in calling their special meet
ing yesterday and deciding 10 begin

Gates that the directors are not going

can begin on the proposed new hotel.
II will be recalled that the Whining
ton Trust Building Corporation said
1t would begin actual operations as
soon as the widening Of Eleventh

year and a half to build the hotel and
make It ready for occupancy.

Uptown Improvements to
Boost Properly Values

enth street. but John J. RasRob on
Thursday night at City Council said
this impression was wrong as the
Continental Company had not held up
the dupont Building extension. The
action of the Continental Company
yesterday in offering TO dispose of its
property certainly show no inclina-
ton to hamper the hotel project.
Desirable properties uptown now
are scarce, in many instances the
owners holding on to property for
higher values that are expected as a
result of the many improvements now
