The Alhambra, situated on one of the most ventral sites in London, has been cinema, music hall, and boxing arena as well as legitimate theatre before now, but if the present plans materialise it will be transformed into all these combined and a lot more. It is suggested, for instace, that the basement should be a stadium for boxing and wrestling with a seating capacity of 3,000, while the ground floor is to be a beer garden complete with stage and scenic decorations giving the effect of a Tyrolean village. On the second and third floors there are to be different kinds of restaurants, and the roof is to be a sun parlour.

The position of the pile is the centre of the great cen- tral tower, which will rise to 200 fect facing the British Museum.

Photograpers were there to photo graph the scene, which will prob ably take its place in the film which will be taken at notable moments The scheme is ambitious, but so far through the years as the great it is only a scheme. building rises.
