New Stage Setting
At Colonial Theatre
Is Cow Home Effect

Patrons of the Colonial theater
have noted this week new and pleas
ing appointments to set off the
projection screen. The familiar rus
tic lattice effect has been replaced
with a living room scene that gives
one a comfy feeling, as if sitting
at home and viewing the very latest
releases of filmdom.
On the left there is an inviting
looking wicker divan. on the right
two easy chairs of similar design
with a table between. There is a
fine rug on the floor and the walls
are of tapestry effect. Softly glowing
lights make for most pleasing eff
feet.
The change, Manager Williamson
stated Tuesday, is in keeping with
the policy of the theater manage
ment. to make the surroundings at
tractive in addition to giving the best
there is in moving pictures.

Northeast Needs Normal
The commission left a very
excellent impression on all whom
they met here as able, expert
enced, conscientious men intent
upon performing we'll an import
ant duty. Had the commission
been authorized to select locations
for two state normals their task
would have been much lighter.
The act of the legislature pro
'viding for the normal commits
sion gives the state educational
authorities power to overrule the
decision of the commission but il
is believed that such a thing is
highly improbable. The local
committee believes that if a To-
cation for the new normal is Sc
lected from points on the Great
Northern, Wolf Point has the best
of the argument, on account of
location with reference to popu-
lation, schools and school census
within the 75-mile radius which
the commission is using as a unit
of comparison. Wolf Point has a
partly settled and developed ter
ritory on every side of it and is
about the right distance from the
state boundaries east and north.
Wolf Point is easily accessible
from each direction; in brief it
is most centrally located in the
territory that is most remote from
the normal at Dillon and entitled
to first consideration in the To-
cation of a second normal.
