Town Hall Playhouse in Westboro Cites War Time Restrictions
Alan Gray Holmes, managing producer, says the Town Hall Playhouse will not open this season due to wartime limits on gasoline and tires, shortage of male actors, and rising production costs. Edna Holstrom would run the theatre, but plans are halted as Holmes joins the Army and storage of equipment begins. He remains hopeful to resume after the war, while currently serving as Fort Hancock theater director and recently touring with an all soldier show.
