TO AVOID ANY miscon-
ception at this point, it may
be well to say frankly now
that Mr.. Marris had written
no diatribe against urban
renewal as a "Socialistic"
experiment.
Instead, he took it quite
for granted that urban re-
newal Is a tool which can
only be effective in a pre-
socialist environment.
He was likewise clear in
many of his other judgments
and analyses.
As an expression Of a
proper aim of urban renewal
activity, for example, his
statement could stand as a
model for every agency and
individual involved in this
work, to be framed and
placed over every desk:

Like a lonely, aging actress,
the Capitol Theater knows the
day is coming when even a bit
part won't be hers.
Behind the fading opulence Of
gilded ceilings. brocade Grapes
and red plush seats is another
world. Backstage, metal ham
dies for ropes to lift sets are
rusted from rain drippin 9
through a leak in the ceiling.
Clipped paint patterns dim
walls. A piano sits in a corner,
draped in black cloth.
Thirty years ago. when both
the Capitol and movies were
young. nearly every famous per-
former came TO that stage and
a full house OF 3,240 people was
out front almost every show.
In the sos came Rudolph
Valentines girl friend, actress
Pola Negri. So did Norma
Shearer. Two young kids named
