Chaloner Opens
Film House Named
After Himself
$250,00O Theater on Land In.
herited From Mrs. Laura
AstOr Delano.

The restless energies OF John Arm
strong Chaloner, drame.ist, poet patron
of art and lecturer. led him last night
to branch out into the Fifth Estate--the
movies.
He opened on the northwest corner
OF Ninth avenue and Fifty-ffth street
the Chaloner Theater, a commodious and
tastefully decorated playhouse devoted
to the uplift of the photodrama. Little
but the most formal. records appeared
in print about the enterprise in advance
of the opening which was known to few
beyond those who received the owners
Invitations
THE Count of Monte Cristo' was the
feature film of the opening night. State
Senator James J. Walker, Alderman
Charles z. McManus and Magistrate
William Blau spoke.
High class pictures and low prices
instead of low pictures and high prices"
is Mr.. Chaloner's motto in this enter
prise. He wrote himself and sent 1t to
the newspapers in his first press story.
The prices are 10, 20 and 80 cents. and
Mr.. Chaloner announced that only "flrst
run" pictures will be shown here. He
advances the claim that his new ven-
ture will present the same class of
pictures as the higher priced Broadway
cinema palaces, because their overhead
is far lower. He points out that it has
an orchestra of twelve striuged instru-
ments, instead Of one OF twenty-seven.
On the other hand. the organ, which he
values at s25.000. compares favorably
with that in any other flnl theater
The structure cost S25C.000. according
to the proprietor. He says 1t occupies
the last of fourteen lots OF the old
"Cosine Farm property which he in
herited from his grandaunt, Mrs. Laura
Astor Delano, to be improved. The
other lots are all built upon and rented.
The Chaloner Theater is about 95 by
$50 feet and seats 1850. The architect
was George Keister, who designed the
Astor. Times Square, APOLLO and Selwyn
Theaters.
The project had its inception in the
Merry Mills Movie" former cow-barn
on his estate, THE Merry Mills" near
Campbell, Va. Here high class pictures
were given, fourteen miles from NOV
ing picture town, for 5 and 10 cents.
The success of this venture led Mr.
Chaloner to try a wider field in New
York.
Mr.. Chaloneer, who lives at 80 Wash
ington square east, had to send his
regrets to the management last night
for being unable to he present at the
opening Of his theater. He said he was
called away by legislative work at
Washington, totally unconnected with
either moving pictures fol the farmers,
the Volstead act or the Ku Klux."

So she determined TO go to see

One morning I met Jane. who

she and Mary were going to Lon.

and whose hand had hardly before
been touched by the hand Of man,
to give so much, no power Of
prudence could keep him away

had given her gold for his dross.
This conclusion was more easily
arrived at owing to the fact that
she had never been entirely sure
OF the state of his heart. There
had always been a love-exciting
grain Of doubt; and when the
thought came to her that she had
been obliged to ask him to tell
her Of his affection, and that the
advances had really all been made

that she had been too quick to
