However, Landmarks Chairman Norman said that although the commission believes that the interior ornamentation of a theater is important the commission was flexible enough to make adjustments in its guidelines regulations to help the owners. "They are reacting to the unknown," said Norman. "We will make adjustments if problems come up." Norman cited public testimony by well-known set designer Ming Cho Lee who said that production changes beyond the stage were minimal.

Schoenfeld said that the new trend in theater design was to take the set beyond the stage. In a report to the Landmarks Commission which was commissioned by theater owners, the architectural firm Hardy Holzman PfeifferAssociates, stated that the most important aspect of old theaters was the interior shape of the auditoriums. The report did not recommend interior ornament for Iandmarking. The report stated the interior ornament was a "form of makeup." "So long as no outstanding individual work of art is lost or irreparably altered, such changes (to the interior ornamentation) can take place without a fundamental effect on the significant elements of theater architecture," stated the report on the list so far To date, the Landmarks Preservation Commission has designated a landmark either the interior, exterior or both of the following theaters. The the-, ater Iandmarking process continues until the end of the year.

Landmark hearings are public and are held on Tuesdays at 2 Lafayette St Once designated a landmark, theaters can not be altered or demolished without the permission of the commission. The theaters are: Neil Simon (formerly the Alvin) 250 W. 52d St Ambassador, 219 W. 49th St Virginia (formerly the ANTA), 245 W. 52d St Brooks Atkinson, 256 W.

47th St Ethel Barrymore, 243 W. 47th St Martin Beck, 302 W. 45th St Belasco, 111 W. 44th St Biltmore, 261 W. 47th St Booth, 222 W.

45th St Broadhurst, 235 W. 44th St Cort, 138 W. 48th St Embassy, 46th St and Broadway 46th St, 226 W. 46th St John Golden, 252 W. 45th St Mark Bellinger, 51st and Broadway Hudson, 141 W.

44th St Imperial, 249 W. 45th St Lyceum, 149 W. 45th St Palace, 44th St and Broadway. With the exception of the Embassy Theater, all theaters designated a landmark were recommended for designation by Save The Theaters, a nonprofit theater preservation group. Manhattan Cultural Affairs Editor The owners of Broadway theaters which are in the process of being named city landmarks by the Landmarks Preservation Commission said yesterday that they fear that certain aspects of the interior designation will cause an increase in production costs.

The 11-member commission has tabled 40 theaters for designation during a process that is expected to run to the end of the year, according to Chairman Gene Norman. So far, 20 theaters have been designated landmarks, either for exterior details, or for interior design such as ornamental plasterwork, and in some cases, both. "We are concerned," said Ethan Geto, spokesman for both Jujamcyn Theaters and the Nederlander Organization, two major theater owners, that the overly extensive designation of hundreds of items of surface decor inside theaters will overly restrict the artistic freedom of theater professionals and will cause cost of productions to skyrocket" Interior shapes Both the Theater Advisory Council, which was established by the Mayor, and Save the Theaters, a nonprofit theater preservation organization founded by Actors Equity, have gone on record saying the unique aspect of the older Broadway theaters is the interior shapes of the theater and not the decorations. The midtown theater district was built between 1900 and 1929. One of the battles over Iandmarking occurred in 1979, when the marquee at the Lyceum on W.

45th St, began to sag and needed to be replaced. The Lyceum was designated a landmark in 1975, and is owned by the Shubert Organization. Gerald Schoenfeld, chairman of the Shubert Organization, said that in order to comply with commission demands, the Shubert Organization had to spend $350,000 despite the fact that the highest bid he had received to replace the marquee was $150,000 and the lowest for $50,000. He said the theater had been designated a -landmark against the advice of the Theater Advisory Committee. "The Landmarks Commission staff told me they were not concerned with the advisory committee or cost" said Schoenfeld.

According to Schoenfeld, the Lyceum is more dark than it is used. "This theater won't pay for that marquee," he added. Proof of desire Schoenfeld said that proof of his company's desire to preserve theaters is that the company has restored all of the 17 theaters it owns in the city, adding that the requirement to replicate interior ornamentation following productions would cause a increase in show budgets. One of the requirement of the Landmarks Commission guidelines is that any changes made to accommodate a production at a theater designated a FREE Parakeet CKEOI or BLUE wHfc the pardwsc of ALL TKSIE of the Hems below at oar 11 every day low prices CD Parakeet stjurmt kit STAITER KIT Com tins TREAT SE0 BLOCK GRAVEL BOOKLET rVMd ftwnvui oz.
