THE FACADE, extended somewhat from the building proper, laces on the intersection ol two streets. The marquee, with silhouette letters to sell the current attraction, has been angled slightly to lollow the contour ol the building, that, in turn, iollowed the adjacent thoroughlares. THE NEW LINDEN THEATRE Baltimore, Md. Architect JOHN J. ZINK. Baltimore. Md. Owner LINDEN THEATRE CO., Inc. Baltimore. Md. Size ol Lot 98 x 140 Seating Capacity 834 Cost without ground $150,000 Creating new ideas in theatre design, alter years and years in the held, is not always easy, but John J. Zink, the eminent Baltimore architect, achieved that end when he was commissioned by the Linden Theatre Company, Inc., to put on paper that which would ultimately be materialized as the Monumental City's Linden Theatre. Seating 834, the new house adds not only another creditable link to Architect Zink's long chain oi theatres throughout the Washington exchange territory, but in the Linden, potential patrons in particular, and the whole oi Baltimore in general, have a theatre to which they may point with pardonable pride, a theatre which is up-to-date in every respect. Beyond the obvious architectural aspects of the front, foyers, and hexagonal auditorium, attention should be called to the placement of the compressor and boiler rooms quite outside the theatre proper, which adds a further safety factor to the structure.
