Philadelphia hotel:
The final victim
PHILADELPHIA () - The Bellevue-Stratford Hotel,
where kings and presidents have slept in luxury, closed at
midnight last night, perhaps the final victim of the myster-
ious Legionnaires' disease. ,
A sign in the rear of the lobby headlined, "Daily Events,"
lists a United Way dinner, the last event at the 19-story
hotel that was built in 1904 as a rival to Europe's finest
hostelries. Starting today, the sign will be blank.
THE MAHOGANY grandfather clock that chimed for
presidents from the time of Teddy Roosevelt was trucked
from the lobby this week and placed in storage.
Tony Delia, bell captain for 31 years, stood in the
lobby Wednesday as a crowd of photographers snapped
pictures of the hotel's next-to-last day.
"It's like going to a wake and taking a picture of your
mother in the coffin," he said.
A PHILADELPHIA public relations firm, Spiro & As-
sociates, was assigned the task of erasing the disease stig-
ma. Ten thousand "I Love the Bellevue" buttons were,
made up. How many were distribufed is not known, but
the hotel's 350 full-time employes and 200 part-time em-
ployes were given notice on Nov. 10 that the 19-story hotel
would close.
Two suits were filed seeking court orders to stop the
owners from shutting the hotel and offering it for sale at
$15 million. One was brought by unions to save the jobs of
Delia and the other 350 employes. The second by two eld-
erly women who didn't want to lose their $1,750-a-month
hotel apartments.
The Legionnaire's disease that killed 29 persons and
hospitalized 151 last summer was linked by health officials
to an American Legion convention headquartered at the
hotel. Medical sleuths have searched in vain for the cause
of the disease.
BUT THE publicity was enough to reduce "the Grand
Old Dame of Broad Street" to poverty. Thirty of 50 con-
ventions scheduled this fall canceled. The room occupancy
rate tumbled from 84 per cent to as low as 3 per cent. The
owners set the losses at $10,000 a day.
"The cancellations began coming in seven or eight days
after the first story appeared," William, G. Cladwick, the
hotel's executive vice president said.
Since the announcement of the shutdown, souvenir
hunters have been picking clean the marbled bones of the
Bellevue.

(
Opryland '77, with 11 fully-staged productions featuring over 300 sin'gers, dan-
cers, and other artists, offers tremendous opportunities to aspiring young talent.
Some of our performers have won solo spots in network and regional TV produc-
tions originating from Opryland. Opryland talent has traveled afar to entertain at
special events (twice to Washington to perform for the President!). Several have
received major-label recording contracts. For all, there's good money, exciting
work, exposure to people who count! University of Michigan auditions will be held
Thursday, December 2, 1976, from 12:00-5:00 p.m., at Michigan Union Assembly
Hall. A piano accompanist, record player, guitar amplifier, and tape recorder will
be available for performers. Conductors/leaders, stage managers, lighting technicians,
sound engineers, stagehands, and follow spot operators should report with typed
resume ready for interview.
