Hope For Non-Jirn
Grow Theatre
In d. c. Fading

WASHINGTON, D. C.-We1l, it
looks as if all efforts to secure
the Balasco theatre here will
pass on to the winds, unless some
ether means can be found to Sc
cure funds. The American Ma
tional Theatre and Academy, had
hoped to take it over and operate
it on a non-segregation policy.
But their experts estimate the
cost OF renovation would amount
to more than four hundred thou
sand dollars.
Since the ten year lease that
the government is offering on
the theatre, it can be cancelled
after five years, if the govern
ment should decide to build on
the site, but the deal to the
American National theotre ana
Academy would be extremely
risky. OF course, money invested
could probably be recouped WIN
a long-term lease; but capltal
could not be expected to take
the chance Of operating the
theatre under such conditions.
