The National Democratic Convention
which will meet in New York next
month. has the opportunity of wreck
ing the Democratic party. 1t will not
he done, however, by the delegates
from the SOuthrn states, who stand
true to the time honored historic prin-
ciple of democracy. Pre-convention
predictions indicate that Governor
Smith of New York is developing CON
siderable strength as to presidential
possibility. He is not, however, ac-
ceptable to the South. In fact, his
nomination would cause revolt among
the voters south of the Line. Thou
sands of Democrats whose democracy
none dare question are saying that
should Al Smith be the nominee of the
party they would refuse to vote for
him, but would rather go fishing or
vote for Coolidge or any other good
Republican. Smith is a wet" and
this will not set well with the Demo
cracy of the South. II is inconceiv-
able, however, that those who have
the interests of the party and of their
country at heart will permit the nom
ination of one who must inevitably
drive the old Democratic ship upch
the rocks of party revolution.

Improved Service
For Patrons of
Colonial Theatre

For some time past the manage
.ment of the Colonial theatre have had
to contend with poor projection of the
films, due to the use of imperfect car
bon. of German manufacture in the
projecting machine. This difficulty
has now been obviated by the in
stallation of the Columbia silver tip
carbons. which supply a steady light
of just the right brilliancy. projecting
the pictures on the screen very clear
~. The improvement is the source Of
much satisfaction to tho many movie
fans. who are patrons of this theatre.
Another change which has increas-
ed the efficiency of this amusement
house to the public which it serves.
The lights under the balcony in the
rear of the auditorium have been fit
ted with amber bulbs. which subdues
the glare without reducing the de-
gree of visibility. The light illumi-
mating the dial of the Western Union
clock, was found to he 700 bright and
this has been replaced by blue bulb.
1t is not generally known by the
people who sit In the theatre to
watch the pictures projected on the
screen before them. what precautions
have been taken to safeguard them.
In the Colonial theatre a Power pro-
jector has been installed which is the
nearest approach to an absolutely
fireproof machine that science has yet
evolved. 1t Is equipped with automa-
tic devices and safety shutters which
function when for any reason the
machine stops. There are fire shut
tiers on the mechanism. fire gate on
the magazine which makes 1t prac-
tically impossible for the film to be-
come tgnited, and fire shutters on the
aperture.
Leon Fitzsimmons OF IIallowel is
the operator at the Colonial theatre
at the present time. Mr.. Fitzsim-
mons Is an experienced motion pic
.ture machine operator. and takes
pride in clear and steady projection.
