Until Manager Albert Laurain complies with the requirements of the state police department relative to the equipment of
 motion tcaure theatres and halls in Con-
 necticut North Grosvenordale people
 will be cut off from their favorite form
 of evenings entertainment.
 Union hall in that village has been
 closed by order of State Police Officers
 Howard A Elliott and Arthur W Will
 Hams and will remain closed until all of
 the changes, to meet state police depart
 ment regulations. that they have ordered
 are made Meanwhile the operators i-
 cense has been suspended and the annual inspection card has been taken up.
 Officer Elliott said Thursday morning
 that various requirements of the state
 police department relative to the equip
 ment ol motion picture houses were found to be imperative when the state officers made an unexpected visitation to Union hau at North Grosvenordale
 Attention of the officers was first di-
 rected to what is known as the cylinder i. type of coal burning stove in the main body of the theatre. Heating of motion picture houses with stoves is, forbidden but here was a direct violation of the regulations. A hot fire was burning in the stove when the officers came to make their inspection. Officer Elliott said that he and Officer Williams found chairs not fastened to the floor, @eXit doors barred and. in the balcony, ordinary wooden chairs such as are found in some modest kitchens, and not fastened to the floor So many of tne appointments of the
 mole hall were contrary to state police department regulations that the officers ordered the Immediate closing of the hall and the evenings entertainment was can | celIed
 The state police officers regard the lax ity of compliance with regulations at Union hall as dangerous to the public, l and the place will be kept closed until all the changes ordered have been made Since the disastrous and Iife-taking fire at the Rialto theatre in New Haven re- gently the state police have been giving close attention to inspecting houses throughout the state, and the North Grosvenordale movie place is among those ordered closed until department regulations are met
