. The Higbland Park Press| Vol. 40; No. 25 Honorable Mayor and City Council, City Hall, Highland Park, Tllinois Gentlemen : ' When a controversy existed last winter as to the advisability of renewing the permit for the Tenthouse Theatre to operate ofi the high school athletic field, the, management of that organization seemed anxious to improve ‘ils public relations. The situation, however, has been worse this year than before. s As a pretty well confirmed "middleâ€"ofâ€"theâ€" roader," we often wonder why a certain type of selfâ€" styled® "liberal" is so passionately convinced that in order to appreciate the benefits of some sort of a world political organization, one must first lose all sense of appreciation of the values that have made America and the American standard ‘of living the envy of the world. i o vThey have never given what we consider a satisâ€" factory explanation of how one can respect mankind the world over without first respecting his own counâ€" hint Anrenicos io â€" apressentamnntinlite viedin enizsirycs n umenamenteow â€" ececmmcccce *~Their attitucd@=is almost â€"as ineowmprehensibleâ€"as that of the confirmed jingoist, who seems to think that if one recognizes any virtue in any other race, nation or political system, he must automatically be a foe of his own country. maibinaiths Bltcall cA m d cbatricbs it fhaiatabant" Aud ; + Costly repairs and maintenance We don‘t think you can reform the world by first Ion deteriorating buildings plus reâ€" wrecking this country any more than you can save *Iplmmen; of e;?ucatiomg equipâ€" & + s _ ‘ment and supplies are ever reâ€" it by telling all nations that they must become CAtâ€" )SX i/Z ifoms in each school bon copies of the United States. {year‘s budget. ;These accumulated We think that there is a lot of loose, muddy and |during the war years.

While ‘the program indicates that the performance is to start at 8:30 p.m., it really starts about 8:45 and the performance < is rarely ended before 11:20 to 11:30 p.m. This means that any disturbance caused in the neighâ€" borhood comes at a very late hour. 3 A number of people in the. viâ€" cinity have discuzsed~the.matter with an attorney, and they â€"have come to the conclusion that the location of such project is a vioâ€" lation of the zoning laws of the City; andâ€" that unless something is done to correct these abuses, this group will, during this winâ€" ter, have the "entire situation reâ€" viewed by a competent court. I offer the following suggesâ€" tions: In ‘line with sutute_s‘ in many of:our States, which stipu« late a time beyond which‘a perâ€" formance cannot go, I suggest the City immediately advise the management that no performance whall continue after 10:30 p.m. If that time happens to be before the end of the final Act, the show must be stopped promptly at that hour. This would necesâ€" sitate that the performance start an hour early enough to assure the completion of the play by 10:30 p.m. > As the seats are not reserved, the people start to congregate about 8:00 p.m. and at least threeâ€" fourths of the audience are in their seats by 8:15 p.m. Most of the audience come from Highland Park and immediate vicinity so no hardship would be worked if the performance started promptly at 8:00 or 8:15 p.m. . When the performance.is not in progress, a very loud Victrola music is used, and this seems to have a quality that carries very broadly; and that should be proâ€" hibited also as well as any other In other words, the management should think something of pubBic relations . and avoid everything that might antagonize its. neighâ€" Up To Now .
