SIRS, AMBROSE SMALL
STARTS CHAPEL IDEA,
A devout widow’s idea to honor
the. memory of her husband, who
passed away under tragic circum
stances, by insisting that in a great
hotel, planned for tlw site of the
threwtre property where he made his
millions, should contain a shrine
and small private chapel for medita
tion and prayer, has been adopted
by one of the great hotel concerns
in the U.S.A, who are already 'in
stalling these chapels in more than
one hostelry.
This faculty for worship has re
ceived the tannest approbation from
devout people who form part of the
transitory hotel population and who
otherwise would be forced to locate
n church in a strange city.
The idea of erecting such chapels
it transpires, was first mooted by
Mrs. Ambrose Small, who insisted,
when the General Brock hotel was
projected for the Grand Theatre site
in Toronto, that it contain a shrine
in honor .of he missing Ambrose
■' Small, the theatre magnate, whose I disappearance is still a mystery.
