doors were closed. About thia time James Hallinan started the Mazda on Main street and William Mueller the Broadway on Arch street.
 The greatest film ever shown al the Broadway was that of "Ten Nights in n Barroom," reissue of which was shown at q local theater several months ago,
 Sunday Movies. During this time, however, moving pictures were shown at the Lyceum and Keeney theaters as regular Sun day night features and occasionally on week day nights. Mr. Glackn CO., operated with MT. Lynch in showing films at the Lyceum for two seasons.
 About the time the last of the small movie houses went out of ex- istence Fox's theater on West Main street was built. This thcater started with regular vaudeville and picture policy but after q few months discon- tinued playing vaudeville and was for a time a strict movie house.
 LycctM For Movies.
 A season or two later George Le. Witt took over the Lyceum theater and started straight moving picture policy in that house, but 1t was not a paying proposition and he was fore ed to start vaudeville as a feature to keep the people coming. Later Fox's again inaugurated vaudeville as a per manent feature and when the Keeney theater was taken over by the new owners and renamed the Palace, vaudeville was regular feature at that house. The Scenic theater on Main street also ran vaudeville for a time. although 1t has been a picture house for the past several years.
 In Many Theaters.
 Mir. Glackin. the pioneer picture operator, has worked in several mov- ing picture houses. among them being the old Keeney house in this city, keeney's Fulton street theater in Brooklyn as we'll as the Third ave- nue theater
 He then returned to New Britain and assumed managership of the Elm pire theater in Hartford, later com ing back to New Britain at the Ly- ceum theater and then going back to Hartford at the Liberty theater on North Main street. He is again back at the Lyceum as manager.
