 Tonight-C.hcr News Items. lt Is understood from authentic sources that the Newton repository on Whiting street, will soon be chang ed into a moving picture theater. The place is owned by c. Eberstein of Bristol. proprietor Of Bristol theater, Mir Eberstein could not be reached this morning to discuss his plans. It has also been learned that the par ties involved have secured license from the state to operate a motion picture theater there when some changes are made.
 The place has been vacant for sev- eral months since the arrest of the persons who operated it as a garage. Brock Barnes post of Plainville, con- sidered purchasing it but the price asked, which was $S,000, was out of their reach.
 Centrally located, it would make an ideal place for a theater. It is large enough to accommodate good sized audience as it stands now and with some changes such as breaking away the second floor, 1t would be capable of holding q small balcony.
 The Airdome theater now standing on East Main street, purchased from Thomas Cafferty by the Neri broth CTS, has not been used for more than year. It did not pay and the own CTS have not decided upon any parti- cular course to pursue. It is thought by many of the residents that a nov ing picture house in the town would be we'll patronized.
