Will Be Opened About De- cember 1 With Equitable
 Drama 'Trilby"
TO BE CONNECTED
 WITH CANDY STORE
Provision For Orchestra To Entert ain Patrons of Both Places-To Avoid Gardening Theatre By Use of
 Daylight Scireen

Il. M. Newsome, the we'll known moving picture theatre owner. an- nounced yesterday the plans of his new s25,0Q0 house which he will open on or about December 1. The new house will be located at 1923 Third avenue, on the site of the old Bonita theatre.
 The new theatre will open with the Equitable film. "Trilby," in which Miss Clara kimball Young and Wilton Lackaye are co-stars. After this pie ture offerings from the Equitable. World and V l.. S. E. features will make up the programme of MT. New some's latest theatre.
 William Leslie Welton drew the plans for this new structure which is now in the process of construction and they are said to be of a most elabor- ate design and mark distinct advance in the artistic interiors of film thea tres.
 Orchestra For Both Places
 According to the plans the new thea tre will be 40 feet deep and 50 feet wide. It will be adjacent to New some's, an ice cream and confectionery parlor, and the foyer of the theatre is planned to cover both entrances. The wall separating the theatre and the confectionery parlor will be cut through, also that an orchestra may be placed on a raised platform which Will give musical entertainment to both the picture patrons and those enjoy ing light refreshments. A glass mar quis extending completely over the sidewalk is also planned for the en- trance of the new theatre
 As to the interior decorations. they Will be of quiet tempo and indirect lighting which in connection with the daylight screen that will be installed Will absolutely prevent the darkening or the theatre. The floor of the thea Ire is planned to be of Tennessee mar Die Of the same quality as used in the Tutwiler.
 Marble Foyer
 This marble will also be used in the 1oyer, and the grand stairway which will lead to the balcony from the main entrance. As to the ventilation 1t Is planned to use two siX-foot blowers to bring in fresh air from the top of the building and then to force it out again. It is further planned to install every modern device to insure the com : fort of the patrons
 As to the name of the new theatre. MT. Newsome will conduct a contest and the fortunate young lady who plcks out suitable name will be given a prize. This plan was highly successful when the Trianon was opened.

 Changes in Two Years
 Birmingham is showing it's heels to the rest of the world or course, l ire quently return, aud as u result the changes do not effect me as greatly as they would were I an infrequent visitor But the Birmingham of six years ago would scarcely be recognized today, and since my last trip two years ago changes have been phenomenal This is the best town in America, and it's future Is the most certain.
 .As I understand it, Birmingham bore up splendidly during the hard times and as result will profit quicker--or recover it's stride more rapidly-than other cities which were harder hit. Throughout the country, the idea obtains that prosperity Is not only en route but that it is within hearing distance. In the west we have felt the return of the era of plenty and on the coast the most optimistic spirit prevails.
  business men of Birmingham and their opinion coincides with that expressed by leading financiers in the west. And there seems to be good reason for their optimism. The war has made this coun- try the market of the world, and our reserve supply of gold will, by the conclusion of next year. be larger than ever before in the history of the coun- try"

 His death was very sudden" said he suffered a slight stroke of paralysis, but his condition was good. He and Mrs Spalding had been discussing their annual pilgrimage to the east for the purpose of attending the world s series ef baseball games. They had mapped out the route and laid all plans

7. R. PELL VICTOR
in TENNIS MATCH
AGAINST H. WEIR
New Yorker in Delaware
State Championhip Has
60 and 81 Score to His
Credit - Kennedy, Mer-
ion, Is Also a Winner.

WILMINGTON, Del. June 22.-Threat-
ening clouds cut down the attendance at
the second round matches of the Della
ware State tournament here today, but
all the players were on hand, and play
began early In the afternoon, many of
the out-of-town players having spent the
night at the club or with friends, while
a large number came down from Philadel-
phia on the earlier trains.
The gallery seemed undecided as to
whether 1t was more interested In the
play of T. r. Pell or i'm the performance
Of ]. ]. Armstrong, the present Pennsyl-
vania State champion. Pell played his
first match early, winning from Herbert
Weir. 60 and 6-1. one of the Wilmington
Youngsters who, however. gives promise
of becoming a star. The famous New
Yorker was not pressed, and took things
easily, his backhand shots being loudly
applauded as they skinned the lines.
N, w. Swayne. Of Plymouth. was in
splendid form in his match with f. w.
Paul of the Philadelphia Cricket Club
and It seemed as II he would come
through to meet Pell in the round before
the semifnal j. S. Disston, Jr., also of
the Philadelphia Cricket Club, started off
at top speed against j. Biggs, Jr of Will
mington, and by taking the net at every
opportunity won many games In the hrst
set.
Disston, who played on the University
of pennsylvania team this year, is going
very well and should give Armstrong a
good fight If he meets him, as II seems
will be the case, in the round before the
semihnaI. All OF the members of the
University team are playing remarkably
good tennis, as Kenneth Kennedy and
Joe Rowland Oast years captain are
still In the tournament with Disston. while
