YIELDS To
REQlIEST0 OF.
CITIZEN MS
New Movie House Replaces
Theatsr Where 81 Lost
~ ~, Their Lives. ~

Harry M. Crandall will build q
new motion. picture theater at
Eighteenth street and Columbia
road, he decided today. The play
house will be erected on the site
Of the Inflated Knickerbocker,
which collapsed under the weight
Of snow in the blizzard last JAM
nary. killing nearly a hundred
persons and injuring many others.
Makes Announcement ~
Mr.. Crnadall made this declara-
ton after a conference at noon
with representatives Of the Eigh.
teenth and Columbia Road Business
Mems Association, who presented a
petition, signed by more than 1,6oo
residents and business men OF the
neishborhood, urging the erection
of a new theater.
.l The committee was headed by
M. G. Mccormick, chairman OF the
board of directors of the association,
and Francis NJ. Savage, president.
"I have been neutral on the ques.
ton until this moment" declared
Mr.. Crandail. This petition con-
yinces me of the overwhelming SEN
timent IN favor of the theater, and
I shall Immediately begin work TN
the project"
AZ, Feels It His Duty.
II was pointed out to the theater
owner that the ruins OF the knick-
srbocker are an eyesore to the
neighborhood and only serve to re-
call last winters catastrophe to the
minds OF relatives and friends of
those who psrished in the disaster.
ut. has been impressed upon me
that the building of a new theater
would be public service to the
neighborhood OF Eighteenth street
and Columbia road" said Mr.. Gran
dali, both in its financial and psy-
chological effect, and l believe II
my duty to accept this as the will
of the public.
Property in the vicinity of the
ruined show house has deprecated
from 40 TO so per cent since last
January, Mr.. Crandall was informed.
The new theater. 1t is believed,
would attract further business to
that district and would raise real
estate values to normal.
The decision of the local movie
magnate marks the close of a
campaign waged on the question Of
building a new theater since the
Knickerbocker disaster. Mr.. Gran.
dall's office was besieged by resi-
dents and business men of the sec.
tion. who argued for and against
the project.
