Notes Newscopy: "The 30-ton canopy in Civic Auditorium has been cleaned, fire-proofed and redecorated by J. L. Stuart Co., and today was hoisted back into place. The 92,000 square feet of canvas hides the unsightly web of steel girders in the Auditorium's upper area. The great lightoliers that hang from the roof are in the foreground, ready to be raised. It's the first time in over a decade this big laundry job has been done.".
