13 February 1929 - A special meeting of the Town Council of the Town of Bronson for the purpose of receiving a proposition from Mr. Victor Canares, the Representative of the Travel Theatrical Managers Association. The Association is seeking a location for winter quarters for the training and rehearsing of the five theatrical companies operated under his charge. If a suitable site could be found, the group proposed to erect permanent buildings and work shops covering an area of approximately two acres. There would be a permanent staff of twenty-five operators to take care of the scenic painting, baggage, tent repairs, and other general repairs. There would be a total of 320 actors and actresses who would reside in town housed in the local hotels and boarding houses. Council President J.P. Kimble appointed a committee of P.L. Fender and J.A. Dixon to cooperate with Canares to further this project.
