IMPROVING IRE MOVIES
Every effort is being made to
provide patron# of the moving pitc- j
tpre theatre with a maximum ofj
comfort. During the past week a,
parquet flopr, fdopejag toward thej
front, has been installed, and the
seats fixed up to conform with the
restful attitudes required by thea
tre-goers, In addition, a storm
porrh has been built. Operator
IBeaudreau has cured the machine
of its inclination to do the "shimmy”
and the management has been suc
cessful in securing an improved
film service. The mid-week show
tins week was held on Tuesday
evening so as not to conflict with
the Hi tiiksgiving ball, and the at
ftiii lanca was the greatest yet seen
nf any performance. The movies!

so far as securing new members is
concerned. Every unprotected side
walk and planked street intown har
been securely fenced, 3600 lineall
feet of 2x4s and 1x4s having been
employed. The railing around Vol
unteer Drive, where the heaviest
traffic occurs, was made exception
ally staunch, standards having been
set every six feet, and the railings
carried around well onto Interna
tional avenue on each side. Mar
