carry four passengers and to come to a
dead stop on the bridge Just at the bot

per hour when he went over the top.
I have watched several expert demou-

His Interests.

Best Talent on the Road Is To

High Class Pictures Also VIII
Be Shown.

L. NJ. Crawford. one of the pioneer
theatrical men OF the west, has leased
the Grand theater to a. D. Birch and
J. c. McCaffery. two prominent To-
peka men, who will manage the house
next season.
II Is probable that Topeka will have
a galaxy OF fine dramas. comedies and
musical shows next winter. The new
managers are planning to bring only
the best productions here, because Of
their firm faith in Topeka as a good
show city. They point out that in the
past. whenever a show of recognized
merit came to Topeka, the S. r. o.
signs always decorated the entrance
long before the curtain was raised.
Crawford is disposing of some Of
his theatrical interests. He has re-
Gently sold his theater at Lincoln and
one OF those in his possession at Ell
Paso, Tex. He intends to devote his
time largely to his other interests. and
TO take life a bit easier after n siren
uous theatrical career.
Grand Built in 1892.
The Grand was built in 1882 by
a corporation composed of some Of
the leading citizens of Topeka. Among
them were Frank Thomas and c. +.
Kendall. the latter a leading dry
goods merchant. In the early days,
some OF the most famous stars OF the
stage played at the Grand. Barrett
and Booth both appeared on several
occasions. Minnie Hauk, the great
est singer Of her day, was heard by
the Topeka aristocracy of the eighties
at the Grand. just after a successful
tour OF the European capitals. John
Drew and Sarah Bernhard played
there when they were a great deal
younger than they are at the present
time. L. NJ. Crawford purchased the
Grand in 1905, altho he had. on one
occasion prior to that time, operated
the theater.
The new management will renovate
the theater this summer. so that in
September the fall and winter season
can begin. Topeka theater goers
have long hoped for a continuous
series Of high class productions and
the season OF 1890. according to
the leading lights Of stagedom. will be
a sclntillating one. due TO the influx
OF men and women who devoted all OF
their time prior to this year in the
army. or entertaining soldiers at the
camps and in France.

"Y" Bible Glasses Successful.

The annual report CT the bible
classes of the boys department of the
Y. VI. c. A. shows that, in spite of the
influenza and the using of the Y. NJ.
G. A. as an emergency hospital, the
association has Just completed the
NEST successful year since the classes
have been started. Each grade school
of the city was organized into a club
under the leadership of high school
boy. An average of $50 grade school
boys met each week for bible study
and supper. frequently the boys were
shown educational and other good
moving pictures at the close OF their
lesson. The records also show that
ninety seven boys outside Of the high
school attended the classes.
The physical department of the Y.
NJ c. A.. under the direction of c. E.
Gilman held competitive tournaments
between the different schools which
were open only to the boys who had
made a certain standing in their sun
day school ana class work. The bible
classes were under the supervision OF
H. A. Whalcy.
The high school section met at the
noon hour for lunch and study. The
average attendance for this class was
eighty-four. These boys were divided
into their classes, the seniors being

Gotta, glazed tile, granite or marble.
AS it is the purpose to make the
building distinctive the plan probably
will provide for huge pillars or
pilasters to cary the heavy cornice
and ornament the facade.
The building will be lighted thru the
roof. most of which will be of glass.
None of the details of the interior ar
rangement or furnishings have been
decied upon, but the banking room.
which will have a lofty ceiling of the
approximate height Of the front ex-
terror, will be divided into commodtons
and we'll arranged departments for the
officers. directors. work rooms and the
public, including n large waiting room.
All of the furniture and equipment OF
the bank, including vaults. desks and
fixtures, will be of the most modern
and handsome in appearance.
Abandon Huge Building Plan.
For several years the bank had been
planning for a new building, but the
war came on and made it necessary TO
temporarily give up the plan. In
cluded in these building plans was one
for a structure of five or six stories
on the Abbott corner. at Main and
Center streets. one floor of which
would have been occupied by the bank.
This plan was finally given up for
number of reasons. Among them was
the failure to reach satisfactory terms
with l.. C. Abbott because Abbott could
not give immediate possession as he
had no place to move his stock, the huge
sum of money such a building project
would have required and the desire of
the bank directors to have an eXclu-
sive building for the bank. 1t was also
desired to build this year which could
not have been done on the Abbott
corner. Investigation among banks
that have homes both in big blocks and
in separate buildings tended to show
that those occupying exclusive struc-
lures were the best satisfied with their
locations and facilities.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1919-05-06

Another large and important build
ing project announced for the uptown
business district was made public to-
day thru the Marshalltown State Bank
of plans for the erection of an ex-
elusive banking building for it on the
lots at Nos. and West Main
cost of the building at from 100000 to
$125,O00, exclusive of the site, which
is valued at $4,000. The work OF
wrecking the buildings now on the lots,
which are occupied by the Oppice Fruit
Company and the Griffis restaurant,
will be begun as soon as possession OF
the buildings is obtained.
Sixty days notice must be given the
tenants to vacate and by that time it
is expected that plans will be prepared
and contracts will be let for the wreck
ing and building. AS now planned 1t Is
the purpose to start building in the
summer and have the structure COM
pleted early in the winter.
Organize Building Corporation.
The building will be built and
owned, not by the bank, but by
building corporation, that is to be
organized and incorporated soon, prob
ably under the name of the Marshall
town State Bank Building Company
with paid up capital of probably
500, 900. This corporation will be
organized solely among stockholders OF
the bank and the corporation will lease
- No L. n
term elyears. The bank, as a corpora
ton will own part Of the stock of the
building corporation but majority of
the stock will be held by stockholders
of the bank.
This plan OF financing was adopted
to avoid the necessity of the bank IN
vesting a large part of it's capital in
the building. :.
To Be Handsome Structure.
Having decided after long delfbera-
ton to build an exclusive bank build
ing it is determined to make it the
handsomest business building in the
city and one of the most commodious,
convenient and modern banking struc-
lures in central Iowa. The lots. which
the bank bought few years ago, have
Main street frontage of forty feet
and depth OF 1870. The building Will
occupy the entire frontage and a depth
of perhaps about 40 feet.
Plans for the building have not been
prepared, but an architect who has
been consulted, and who has prepared
preliminary drawings. Is expected
here late this week to take up the de-
tails of plans and materials.
