COLISEUM IS READY
FOR WINTER SEASON
Always on the alert to
add to the pleasure and com
fort of patrons of the Colis
eum, Manager Joe Burns
has introduced several inno
vations during the week
which promise to add mate
ially to the popularity of the
playhouse during the winter.
The ventilating system has
been perfected so that it is
now possible to change the
air contents of the building
every few minutes, by means
of the large fan under the
stage and a system of vents
in various parts of the build
ing, thus insuring pure air
throughout the evening, no
matter how large the crowd.
Another innovation is the
introduction of de-odorizers.
six of which are placed in
the building in such a man
ner that the air is both pur
ified and gently perfumed,
the large fan carrying the
sweet-scented air currents to
every nook and corner of
the large building.
Still another innovation is
the introduction of individ
ual sanitary drinking cups'
and the installation of a new
water cooler, which will be
kept filled with cold drinking
water during show hours.
Manager Burns declares)
that the Coliseum, as now ar-j
ranged, is the best ventilated i
theater in Alaska.
