So many wild and groundless
rumors have been circulated as to
what has and what has not been done
at Crandalrs Metropolitan Theater
during the four weeks that the house
has been closed that Harry NJ. Gran
dali, with characteristic frankness,
has made a public statement OF what
has transplred at the Metropolitan
during the closed period.
AS a preface to the Crandall state
ment. it is said that no theater has
ever been subjected to more rigid
series of examinations than the
Metropolitan has successfully under
gone. According to Mr., Crandall, 1t
has been checked and rechecked by
District. army. navy and civilian
engineers; every steel stress has been
computed, every dead and live load
borne by any part of the structure
carefully figured; every truss and
beam bearing has been uncovered; !;
every bolt has had a wrench on II.
every rivet a hammer. Nothing, il
seems, has been left undone that
could in any way have even a re-
mote bearing upon the safety OF the
building. Every request and every
suggestion of the authorities and Of
the consulting engineers has been met
and much has been done solely at the
order Of Mr.. Crandall to improve the
theater's stability and comfort. AS
one observer OF the entire work at
the Metropolitan remarked:
