KNOWN industrial designer Norman Bel Geddes has come up with an interesting idea that could verv well resolve theater dilemma Bel Geddes who has been involved oh and off in the theater for better than 30 years is currently work ing on a plan to transform a hotel ballroom into an arena type playhouse His immediate object is the grand ballroom of New York swank Savoy Plaza on ifth avenue The cost of the project would be 'somewhere around $300 000 7 It's not a but' it represents quite a saving over wbat it would coflto build a new theater from the ground up Geddes envisions 12 rows of seats on each of four sides of a souare stage making it possible for the theater to take in about $24000 a week Another selling point is the additional revenue which would accrue from bar and food sales a sunpie matter to arrange with the facilities already on hand If the plan works in New York Geddes would go ahead and try to install a chain of hotel theaters around the country IT'S certainly an ingenious notion and offhand I can think of a single cbje fon The arena theater has its limitations but itshettpr tban no theater at all of giving us back our theater and with the prospects for the Belasco as remote as ever a hotel theater in Washington would be very welcome All it takes is about 300 grand and enough persuasion to convince the hotel people it wouldbe a profitable arrangement Remember the National was always one of the legit theater's top money makers And what theater goer prefer room or would it be ieat to that watered lemonade usually offered tor sale between the acts?
