BLACK EXCEPTS
TO STATEMENT
Says Statement That His Offer for Au-
ditorium Was Less than That of
Mr.. Fenton Was Not So.


Alfred S. Black, president of the
Black New England theaters, takes ex-
ception to certain information furnished
The Reformer by the Brattleboro Sc
lectmen relative to the lease of the Au-
ditorium to Edward ]. Fenton for $35
night and graduated scale, in the fol-
lowing communication:
Editor of Reformer:-
Your article of July 31st regarding
the Auditorium being rented to Mr..
Fenton has been brought to the writer 3
attention. / wish you would please cor
rect statement made in your last para
graph, that the writer made an offer for
the house for another year but was less
than Mr.. Fenton' 3 offer.
This is not correct statement of
facts. The facts are these. I stated to
Mr.. Wyatt of the board of seleetmen
that l believe graduated price of $25
night to be 800 for the week, plus
the lights and help, was fair and
equitable price for the town to receive:
that if the seleetmen were not satisfied
with this price, to advise me what they
felt was equitable; that we had had the
Auditorium for the past year and had
demonstrated that we We're in better
position to run same in the way of pro-
viding good entertainment for the cit
izens of Brattleboro and vicinity than
anyone else, and | believed we were
entitled to first consideration and so
the matter was left with Mr. Wyatt
to take up with his associates.
/ called Mr. Wyatt on the phone Fri
dav afternoon from Rutland and he
had not made decision That EVENING"
| again called him on the telephone and
he stated that the board had decided
to rent the Auditorium to Mr. Fenton,
and furthermore, that even if we would
pay the price that Mr.. Fenton had of
fered to pay, they had decided to give
Mr. Fenton the preference, irrespective
of the large amount of money which
we paid to the town of Brattleboro last
year at a material loss to ourselves
As to the ultimate motives that Mr..
Wyatt and his associates may have had
in leasing the hall to Mr.. Fenton, have
no comment whatsoever to make and
leave that to the citizens of Brattleboro
TO Judge for themselves.
In summary, we had booked up a
large number of road attractions for
Brattleboro the coming season, as by
making early bookings we were in
much better position this year than last
TO get high grade amusements. Natural
" all of these bookings have now been
cancelled, although l regret that the
citizens of Brattleboro will not have
an opportunity to get the same high
class of shows we show in our other
houses throughout New England.
I believe this statement is, in Justice,
due to the public of Brattleboro and /
would appreciate very much if you
would give it the space in your paper
that you gave your original article.
Yours very truly,
ALFRED s. BLACK.
