The contractor and sub contractors
are rushing work on the handsome new

The Regent in the heart of the down.

designed not only as place of amuse.
ment and recreation for Harrisburc's
rapidly growing horaes of motion pic
ture patrons, but will provide deli ght
tu retreat for tired shoppers, who will
be enabled to find rest in the beauti-
ful upholstered chairs that will be in
stalled, as well ms pleasure in witness
ing the elaborate feature film produc-
tions that Mr. Niagara is booking for
this theatre. Being almost directly OPP
posite to the entrance TO the Pennsyl-
vania railroad station, it affords an
ideal spot for the travelling public to
stop while waiting for trains.
The Regent will be one of the largest
motion picture theatres in the city AMI

persons. The building IS being erected
in strict conformity with the new rcgu-

The management is at present work
ing out plans for the placing of an
elaborate illuminated electric sign on
the roof of the theatre, which will
make the Regent one of the brightest
spots on brilliantly lighted Market

illustrating a woman diver who will
climb to the top of ladder and plunge
into water, all depicted in different col

will be most realistic.
