New methods have been introduced:

BIGGEST MOVIE
THEArER

Chicago will soon gain the distinc.
ton OF having the largest theater in
the country. Plans are being com.
pleted for the erection OF a six story
building, with a frontage of 225 feet
and Il depth of 1875 feet, in Cottage
Grove avenue, on the east side of the
street 200 feet south of 63d street,
for theater purposes only. The thea.
ter will seat nearly $500 people, sur
passing the seating space of the Hip
podrome in New York, Il is said, and
will be erected by Samuel Katz and
Abe j. Balaban, directors of the RI
viera and Morris Katz and Abe J.
Balaban at cost of s1,OOO,O0O.
Negotiations are being made with
movie producers to make this thea
ter the premier presentation house of
the middle west. The theater Is to
be built along French architectural
lines, with playrooms for children and
women's restrooms. The lobby Is to
be five stories in height and will be
patterned after the chapel of Yer.
sailles, the room next to the peace
conference chamber. The stage will
be as large as that of the average
dramatic theater, and, according to
5. KATE, scenic artist will be EN-.
ployed to paint scenes for each pic.
ture presented. A fifty piece orches.
ira will furnish music and chorus

nection plans have been made for the
unification of the two systems, which
will result in greater efficiency and a
considerable reduction in the cost of
maintenance.
Il is of interest to note how the
various public improvements are
keeping pace with the remarkable
growth of the city. This is of partic.
ular interest this year to those whose
interest in public affairs has given
them a knowledge of the limited APP
preparations granted the various de.
partments for the conduct of their &c.
tivities.
II is only by good business manage.
ment and the strictest economy that
the public is served with efficiency.
One incident Is worthy of more than
passing notice. The Department of
Gas and Electricity was confronted
with the necessity of extending the
fire alarm signal service to new en-
CINE houses recently placed in serv.
ice at 134th street and Indiana ave-
nue., Avondale avenue. near North
Gath avenue, Morgan Park. Western
avenue. near SD street Kedzie ave.
nue. south of 4ith street. and Natchez
avenue near Fullerton avenue, and
also police signal lines to the two
new police stations.
The price of copper wire was so
high and the appropriation for the
work, $4,000. was so relatively small.
that II seemed improbable that all
the stations could be placed In serv.
ice Mr.. Keiths Ian, however. not
only accomplishes ne entire work,
but In such a way ,nat miles and
miles Of unsightly and dangerous
poles and wires were removed from
the city streets in the more improved
parts OF the city.
These lines were replaced by un.
foreground cables and the wire dis.
placed used In the outlying districts
to establish communication to the
new stations referred to.
The establishment of these lines
means much to the residents of the
districts which they serve. not only
In fire protection, but I'm the reduc.
ton of insurance rates. This incident
typifes the efficient and intelligent
study which Is given the various
problems relating to the management
of public service utilities.
The result of the work OF this de.
partment is probably more continu.
ally in the public eye, and from it's
very nature more conspicuous than
that of most other departments OF
municipal service,
The activities of this department
include the fire and police signal
lines, inspection of electrical installa.
tions for private concerns, and last,
but by far the most important, the
construction, maintenance and opera
ton of the street lighting system.
No failure of any public service is
quite so noticeable as "a street lamp
out"
Considering the fact that this city
covers two hundred square miles,
credit is due the head of an organi.
cation which conducts it's various
functions over so wide an area with
efficiency. The present Commits
