MOVING PICTURE THEATRE MAY REPLACE BECK HALL

The University may have a moving picture theatre next year, if the new owner of Beck Hall favors a proposition made to him recently.

No site in the University is more fortunately situated for this purpose than the Beck Hall plot. It is virtually on the Square and immediate to the Yard. So far as the new owner can determine, the zoning laws permit the erection of a theatre on his property.

The erection of a moving picture theatre is not the only plan being considered. Either a hotel or an apartment may be constructed on his holdings, the owner said. If the building should be a hotel it will fill an acute need in the college life, providing for visitors accommodations which are satisfactorily near the Yard. If the building is completed in the form of an apartment, the appointments will be in great contrast to those of the present Beck Hall.
