Commissioner Cuno Rudolph.

any conference with the theater

CrandaII Surprised.
Harry NJ. CrandaIl. owner Of the
Metropolitan. yesterday said:
The closing of the Metropolitan
will throw about seventy-five per-
sons out Of employment. The
weekly payroll of this number rs
close to $500. Having heard no
particulars from the inspectors. /
am at a loss to understand what
caused the closing of the Metro
politan.
IF there is anything the trouble
with the Metropolitan, 1 certainly
would be the last person to wish
II to remain open. Two of our en-
gtneers have been going over the
entire theater during the last few
days and they report having found
nothing that could be considered as
unsafe. However. if there is any
doubt in the minds of the inspec-
tors, the theater should be closed"
Bookings Are Cancelled.
Lawrence Beatus. manager OF
Loew's Columbia. stated that fifty
woald be unemployed because of the
closedown of the Columbia. He
declared he knew no specific rea-
sons why the theater was considered
unsafe. All the advance bookings
for the theater have been cancelled
and it Is expected that the loss to
the theater will mount into the
thousands of dollars.

JOSEF HOFMANN
at his Steiowau

His moving fingers touch the
Steinway into life-the
master and his instrument
are one-there comes a
shower of gorgeous sound
a sense Of beauty fills the air
there is a hush of breathing
while the listener drinks the
beauty from each fleeting
note. Perhaps the master is
Holman, perhaps Rachmani-

been Paderewski. Half a
century ago Franz Liszt and
Anton Rubinstein were kings.
But whenever the time and

remains the same-Steinway,
