TVhere It had expected to begin opera tions In a short time, plans for thN de velopment nre now nowhere in sight officials of the company deny that thej have abandoned the project, but on the other hand they Hre unable to state when the Improvement will be started According to the arrangements which had been made, the lease on the Forreif Theatre, which occupies the Broad street site, expired this year, after which time the plavhouse was to have been rared to make room for the new building.
