RUSS BUYS EASTOWN?

The ultimate up-to-date, last minute true reality, exclusive scoop on the Eastown affair. Russ Gibb wants to buy the Eastown Theatre, Bob Bageris, current impressario, wants to sell it. Gibb and Bageris have reached an agreement on purchase price and other liscensing and managerial details. It is currently in the hands of a battery of attorneys discussing the various legalities involved, liability insurance and leasing arrangements. If Gibb does end up controlling the Eastown, it still remains to be seen what he will do with it. There is a very good possibility that it will be closed, for the same setnap that is available at the Eastown (meaning concert hall rather than ballroom layout), is available at several other locations around the city that are more suitable.
