promise of 1850. Most students of Texas history, even those back
in the seventh grade, know that a part of the Compromise had
to do with the Rio Grande and the boundary between Texas and
New Mexico. Students of economics also know that Texas received
its first substantial "coin of the realm" in the Compromise ar-
rangement concerning the fixing of designated boundary lines
between Texas and New Mexico. There are unquestionably many
serious students of the history of Texas who will be looking
forward to this publication.
A campaign is underway to save another of Austin's tangible
heritages, the Hancock Opera House which contained the re-
cently discontinued Capitol Theater, from the common fate of
"old buildings"-replacement by a parking lot. "It is my belief
that we could use this theater building to put Texas in the
mainstream of the current cultural renaissance, and participate
in the fine arts activities which daily enrich our lives on a
profound and personal level," said Mrs. Howard F. Rase, pres-
ident of the Texas Fine Arts Association. Under the sponsorship
of the Texas Fine Arts Association, plans are progressing for the
restoration of the sixty-seven-year-old structure. A twenty-seven
member committee working on the project is chaired by Dr.
James Pease, an outstanding bass-baritone of international repute.
Familiar with such work carried on in Europe, Pease believes
that the old edifice "generally has potential for a perfect theater."
