Y., Aug. 20——'[‘\\0} of the seemingly ornate chandeliers | of the Eastman theatre here are washtubs—of the very ordinary gal- variized iron variety. The explanation is found in a {ast-minute suggestion of George | Eastman, the multi-millionaire man- | ufacturer who built the theatre at| a cost of several million dollars afid | gave it to the University of Roch- ester. Just before the theatre was op-| ened in September, 1932, Mr. East»; man thought the foyer could stand a little more light and suggested two new chandeliers be added. Reluctant to inform Mr. Eastman | that they were specially built and could only be obtained by order and subsequent delay, the architect gild- ed and wired two iron washtubs and put them in place just in time| for the opening, thinking they per-| haps would do for the emergency. When Mr. Eastman learned of the | architect’s ingenuity, he was so amused that he would never allow the tubs to be supplanted by regu- lar fixtures. They still hang up there.
