Colored Theatres on High St
Portsmouth - Objections of white business firms to the establishment of two colored theatres in the 900 Block of High street between Chestnut and Hatton streets, were brought before the City Council Tuesday night.
City Manager Arthur S. Owens informed the Council that he has received requests from Lichtman Theatres and from Pix Theatres for permits to operate theatres in the 900 block of High street, but, in view of the objections from business firms in that block, he declined to make any recommendations in the matter, leaving the decisions up to the council.

SITE PURCHASED
An attorney representing Pix Theatres informed the council that his client had already property in the block in question and that this property would be worthless to the owners unless a colored theatre could be operated there. The attorney pointed out that the proposed site is in the heart of the colored area.
Another attorney, representing Lichtman Theatres, pointed out that his company had filed a request for a theatre permit with the city manager last July and that no action had been taken.

NEXT MEETING
Councilman Pearle Wilson pointed out that "there are always two sides to every question" and moved that the matter be tabled until the next meeting of council to allow those objecting to theatres to appear before council. 
In the petition objecting to the theatres it was pointed out that these colored movie houses would cause a decrease in property values in that block
Among the objectors listed in the position were the following: Dr. E.T. Glover, Norman Packing Company, City Bottling Works, G.W. Maupin Ice Plant, and Central Motor Company.

CITES NEED
It was brought out in the Council meeting that there were existing buildings in the 900 Block of High street that might be remodeled into theatres. No other sites in the city offer these advantages,

it was stated, and it is at present extremely difficult, if not impossible, to erect new buildings from the ground up. 

The need for these added features of recreation for the uncounted thousands of colored residents here was stressed.
