road company prepared to fight it to
a finish and appealed on the six cent
verdict. The second trial in the

PICTURE BOOTH
One Theatre Fails to Comply
--Enf0rce Law.

Fireproofng of motion picture op-
Grating booths in accordance with
provisions of the latest laws on the
subject, are now being enforced by
Building Inspector Mcnamara. He
has ordered proprietors of one thea
tire to cease using a frame booth un-
til it has been altered to conform
with law. The law prescribes that
rooms in which motion picture ma
chimes and the like are operated
must be lined with fireproofing ma
teria1 capable of withstanding a
weight of ESQ pounds, and be of suf-
ficient thickness to resist a tempera-
ture of 1900 degrees Fahrenheit for
a period of at least thirty minutes.
After immersing in water it must not
lose more than fifty per cent of its
initial strength.
Some theatrical men plan to use
asbestos sheets, others are investi-
eating prices and merits of a pat
ented asbestos wood" which it is
claimed will meet every requirement
of the law. Theatre owners are par
ticularly interested in portable iron
and asbestos wood" booths made
by a firm. The first of that kind
in this city may be installed in the
Bijou theatre shortly.
