of a broadway musical comedy apparently released nightly from new york city the arena was not responsible for promotion of the show or for the sale of tickets the rental fee agreed upon was 400 and 100 of this amount was paid with the remainder promised prior to its opening the at tendance was limited to 2000 to adhere to fire regulations let it be known that the management and directors of the arena had never heard of the play oh calcutta at this time ten days ago the directors had received about 10 calls voicing objection among these was a request from village council asking the board to do all in its power to have the presentation quashed as a result of these objections the directors called a special meeting since no one on the board had seen the show it was impossible to pre judge its suitability it was agreed that the 400 would constitute a good onenight rental fee but to cancel out could bring about a lawsuit and financial troubles however on the friday before the show was to be held the arena was in formed that the opp morality and or rackets squad had obtained suf ficient information to close it a few minutes after the opening scene this the board learned could lead to charges in the afternoon of the same day a meeting was arranged with the stouff ville police chief and a representative of color media communications corporation a program containing some pictures from oh calcutta was the final proof the board needed the 100 deposit was returned and the show cancelled the stouffville arena is a limited company owned by about 300 shareholders most of whom still reside in the stouffville com munity the company pays approximately 10000 annually into the village coffers by way of taxes and puc charges and in no way is under the jurisdiction of the village except by agreement to 100 per year lease of the land on which the arena is located the arena directors appreciate the response both pro and con in con nection with opinions expressed on the issue to the volunteer firemen the police and the tribune for the fair way in which they reported the incident the arena board also wishes to make clear that at no time was any story released to the toronto press or tv that had anything to do with reports of threats or violence some good things have resulted from this issue the board had an op portunity to meet with 13 ministers in the area some of whom
