Essaness May Invade Chicago South Side Area
Chicago Bureau
The Essaness theatre circuit or independent theatre interests may contemplate an "invasion of the Chicago south side, which heretofore has been dominated by the Balaban & Katz and Warner circuits. Plans have gone ahead for future erection of a 2,000-seat house in Chicago's south shore district.
Randolph Bohrer, an attorney, is a partner of the Bohrer & Barkhausen firm which, as the "Double B" Corporation, are the present lessees of the 32 W. Randolph Building, housing the Oriental theatre. The Oriental is now operated by Essaness.
Mr. Bohrer is seeking to obtain a zoning variation so that a theatre can be erected at 71st and South Shore Drive. However, numerous residents of the district appeared at a hearing of the Zoning Board of Appeals February 17 to oppose any zoning changes.
Mr. Bohrer's petition stated he was desirous of erecting "a theatre of not more than 2,000 seats although erection is not contemplated at the present." Mr. Bohrer acquired the property from the Marshall Field Estate.
Ambrose Finn, an attorney representing important property owners in the area of the contemplated theatre, said that the block involved is the only one zoned for business, although half of the area is actually residential.
The matter was continued to March 24 to enable the objectors to prepare their arguments against the re-zoning.
