Auditorium Seat For Lecture Hall

The citizens said that there should not be any plans involving the loss of green skins.  

As part of the Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium's smart upgrade plan, a total of 43 trees will make room for the new building. Bengaluru Urban, the deputy forest protector, has issued an announcement about the project, stating that 43 of the 190 trees in the project area must be cleared and 28 of them can be transplanted.

The Rs 20 crore project announced in February 2020 will be implemented by Bangalore Smart City Co., Ltd. The project will have a fully equipped auditorium and lecture hall with a total construction area of ​​40,350 square feet.

The planetarium curator Pramod G. Galgali told

The COVID-19 pandemic has stalled the project, which aims to provide the necessary infrastructure for the non-formal science education activities of the planetarium.

"Since two decades, we have been organizing non-formal science education activities. Science lectures are becoming more and more popular. However, we do not have the necessary infrastructure and therefore require the government to provide them. The new building will accommodate an auditorium with a capacity of 600 people and some Classroom." he said.

In addition to a small coffee shop with seating and underground parking, the proposed building will also have an observation deck for events/solar eclipses, toilets and toilets. "We will do our best to accommodate everything. Experts will decide the details," he said.

The public is not entirely enthusiastic. Sandeep Anirudhan, the convenor of the Bangalore Civic Agenda of the Citizen Movement, said: “The EIA requires a public consultation, but they must provide drawings, site surveys and other details. Without all this, how will the public raise objections? ?" He also said that there should not be any plans involving the loss of green skins. "We have destroyed the city. The transplant success rate is only 10%. They should consider designing a project around the trees," he said.

Since its reopening in mid-November, the planetarium has been a regular program. The planetarium is a popular landmark in the city, attracting science lovers and children. "The number of visitors is much lower than before, but people are coming. Measures have been taken in accordance with SOP, including temperature checks, disinfection, etc. Because there are other seats, the operating capacity of the sky theater reaches 60%. In the existing capacity, The weekend is full. On some weekends, we have to hold other performances." Mr. Galgary said.

Erving McElroy, the proprietor of the crumbling 1909 old opera house, decided that Lubbock needed a suitable cinema. His idea produced the first big bright lights in a dark small town. In 1913, he established the Lyric Theater on Texas Avenue in a prime location opposite the Lubbock County Courthouse, and the Opera House soon disappeared.

The lyrics were originally famous for movie theaters, but McElroy provided a stage for civic events and live performances, such as cabaret performances, Sisterhood of Christianity and Quincy Lee Morrow's temperance lectures. Sometimes, McElroy hired the town’s champion wrestler, Bomar Moore, to fight a muzzled bear on stage. One Sunday morning, the theater opened its doors for the "Urban Bible Class", which has been here for many years.

Lyric poetry was a huge success, so in 1917, McElroy moved the theater to a new building with several doors to the north-1112 Texas Avenue, and signed the first in the history of Lubbock Real Estate Ten-year lease. At the same time, he went to Chicago and commissioned a state-of-the-art electronic sign worth 700 dollars, which boldly flashed the words "Lyrical Theater". Once established, countless people will stare at the "large modern mobile electronic sign." The bright lights of the theater have attracted the South Plains residents' screens for nearly 50 years.

In 1918, "Avalanche" praised the development of local film entertainment. "McIlroy now runs three volumes of new photos every night, and he has only run two volumes so far. This... There is no doubt that people who participated in the film screenings in this city would be very grateful."

McElroy remembers his first movie in Lubbock-the five-volume Italian movie "The Fall of Troy" from 1911. The early popular star was the actress Flora Finch (Flora Finch). Theatrical actresses Constance and Norma Talmac; actor Francis X. Bushman (Francis X. Bushman) and comedian Charlie Chaplin (Charlie Chaplin).

Tickets are very cheap, only 10 cents, but the cost of McElroy to show movies may be 6 dollars, so a house with 400 customers can bring a handsome profit of 34 dollars.

Crosbyton (Crosbyton) regularly arranges trains to run, attracting major attractions and conducting road shows in Lyric. McElroy recalled the play "The Modern Eve" and charged a $1 ticket for this. 40 seats have been reserved for passengers on the special train, but on an important day, 120 tickets were sold in Lorenzo alone, so the enterprising theater owner placed chairs in the aisle and placed them in front of the stage. Up a bench to accommodate everyone.

Oscar Phillips ran back in front of the lyrics. Phillips added an attraction in the back mezzanine of his store, where customers can sit at the dining table and watch movies, and they can also deliver soft drinks and popcorn through a clumsy, manual waiter.

McElroy sold Lyric in 1925, and the business went through several ownership transfers. He entered the construction and loan industry, raised five children, and died in Lubbock in 1974 at the age of 94.

On June 13, 1930, a luminous advertisement was published in the "Lubbock Daily". The lyrics changed dramatically. It was announced that an "airplane" would fly over Lubbock. The notice and dozens of passes were put down. Perform a new show. The show is an audio film proud of lyrics. On Sunday, June 15, "Flying" began a four-day run. Released by Columbia Pictures nine months ago, the show starred Jack Holt, Ralph Graves and Lila Lee.

The lyrics were burned in 1934. An article in "Avalanche" reported "opinions" that someone on the balcony (black customers were quarantined) might have fallen out of smoke and started a fire. Earlier in the week, the electric motor in the building started a small fire.

After repairs, the theater reopened in 1935. In the 1940s, Lyrics screened many singing cowboy films, but then it seemed to decline. In 1956, "The dancing legs of a fashionable Tonk Mistress" was advertised as "an adult photo of a profitable girl." One of the last commercials of the lyrics was the 1963 "Tarzan to India" commercial. Admission fee: 20 cents for children, 40 cents for adults.

The lyrics closed in 1964. In 1965, the property was purchased by former Lubbock County Judge Bill A. Davis. His wife Paula (Lubbock's first female house builder) razed to the ground and built a two-story office building, where Davis remained a lawyer until 2000. Judge Paula Lanhart, their daughter's retired, recalled the remnants of the theater, including burn marks, during the demolition. Fire and problematic inclined recessed ground must be filled.

Judge Reinhardt fondly recalled her years of legal work with her father in the footsteps of the old theater, and pointed out: "We may enjoy as many comedies there as lyrics clients!" The property is now occupied by lawyer Ted Hogan .
