Theaters Make Plans To Reopen Saturday

• Theaters have been fumigated, and sometimes redecorated, in anticipation of possibly reopening on Saturday, should the ban lift, though owners aren’t sure how the public will respond. Vaudeville jokes about influenza aren’t anticipated.• 68 new cases and 20 deaths reported in the 48 hours preceding Monday morning. 68 is Manning’s estimate, however, as only three cases were officially reported. Manning said: “I do not want to report such a falling off as the actual reports would indicate because, from conversations with doctors, I believe the big drop is due to a failure to report rather than actual conditions. Of course, if the reports don’t come in today, we will assume that the low figure is proper.” • Manning agrees with pool hall owners that if no more than four to six people are permitted around a pool table, this will not violate the no-more-than-twelve crowd rule.• Influenza vaccine release has been delayed to later in the week.Newspaper article
