SATURDAY, AUG. 4, 1081 _ Risky Business— Theater | Insider Tells Story

(Anthony B. Farrell, who wrote the following dispatch for Jack Gaver, on vacation, is an Albany, N. Y., businessman who was Broadway's most spectacular “angel” until he turned producer.)

By ANTHONY B. FARRELL Written for the United Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 4—No matler what you think about the theater from the outside, you don't realize how little you actually know until you get into it as a producer, writer, director or in some pther capacity closely associated with the business. Like so, many others who have| been fascinated spectators of] Broadway shows, I had my own] ideas of plays and musicals.

The Indianapolis School Board] Monday will act on a record budget request which is expected to hover near the $19 million] mark. : If this level is reached when the proposal is presented to the board at its 4 p. m, session, it wlil| represent an increase of more] than $4 million since the 1949:50 school year. - It will be a jump of nearly $2.5 million over the last budget schedule. i A rise in the tax rate from the current $1.65 was foreseen today, but school authorities:..were re-| luctant to estimate the increase, Last year their bid for a $1.70 rate was trimmed 5 cents by the State Tax Board.
