HEILIG ASKS DAMAGES CLOSING THEATER HURT HIM $5000 WORTH, HE, SAYS. Sues Associated Investment Company on Guarantee Posted When Playhouse Was Opened. As a result of the closing of the HelHg Theater by the authorities on the grounds that the structure Is unsafe, legal means are being resorted to by Calvin Heilig, lessee to recover from the present owners the sum of $5000 posted with him as a guarantee on a lease of five years. This money Is now held by the Associated In vestment company, of which S. Morton Cohn Is the moving factor, and which has acquired the building from the Belasco Mayer interests, which erected the place. Suit was instituted in the State Circuit Court, yesterday, by Mr. Heilig, through his -attorneys, John F. Logan and John II. Stevenson, to recover the sum. It is Bhown in the complaint that the building was leased for a period of five years, the $5000 being posted to cover the last five months of the period, which began April 1. 1906. In the event all the requirements of the contract were covered and car ried out the money was to be returned with interest at the end of the five years May 31 the building was closed at the Instance ot the building Inspectors, who found that the supports of the structure were rotting. Since then lthas been im possible to conduct the theater as a place of public amusement and so Mr. Heilig contends that the lease is broken through no fault of his. Although the $5000 was originally posted with the Columbia Stock Company, which opened and failed under the Belasco regime, it was transferred to Mr. Conn's company when the sale was made. It develops that the original owners who spent $90,000 in erecting the building and then lost $10,000 on a stock company venture, have really come out nicely on their Investment for it wsb taken over by the Associated Investment Company for $115,000 which put the Belasco-Mayer interests $15,000 to the good.
