the leading picture house in New Britain, but also the leading picture house in this section of the state. His ambition is to have the words Capitol New Britain" synonomi- ous with the best in the movie world. It will be his ambition to build up the character of the Capi- tol so that it will attract not only New Britainites, but also people from surrounding towns and not ex- cluding Hartford itself for it is a playhouse that is the equal if not the superior of anything in the Capitol city.
 The personnel being entire of the fair sex will be quite an innovation and the natty costumes that the girl attendants will wear will be in keep ing with the whole scheme of the house.
 I. J. Hoffman, who is at the head of the Hoffman Theatrical Enter prises, has been giving the building of this theater his personal super vision and has expressed himself as well pleased with the results ac- complished. Mir. Hoffman himself will be here this evening and on Monday evening, when the manage ment has invited a number of city officials and other guests, he also will be in attendance.

 At small town which has sprung up because of the building of a bridge, he finds solace in rum. Losing his position as engineer in charge of the structure, he sinks deeper and deeper. Sickness comes but he is nursed back to health by a native girl.
 Days pass and then-like a wind from the North. the wife reappears. Misunderstanding his eagerness at seeing her, the second girl, whom ho really loves, hastens away to kill herself. He learns of her intention and follows-too late.
 Tho picture ends, as 1t began. showing him enter a chapel he has built under the bridge to the mem- ory of his life's one beautiful love.

Hard Task Finished

The completion of this theater for elimination of weeks and weeks Of the hardest kind of work and work that claimed the life of one of the men engaged in its reconstruction.
 Immediately upon the closing of the Capitol last spring a gang of "wreckers" were sent into the thea ter to Trip everything out. They did. They pulled down the plaster ing, removed the seats, tore out the boxes and loges, ripped down the high dome and, in short. reduced the former playhouse to four bare walls stage and balcony.
 Then in came the structural steel workers. Gigantic steel beams re- placed the poles supporting bal cony. Masons constructed the fire tower and other steel workers in stalled the fire escapes. Carpenters and plasterers then remodelled the interior of the auditorium accord ing to plans and then along came the electricians and plumbers. At some times during the process of reConstructions there were working at one time plasterers, masons, car pentors, electricians, plumbers and stcamfitters all at the same time.
 Is Very Costly Job
 Several weeks ago it became evi- dent that only herculean effort would get the theater rebuilt on time so a night and day shift of operatives was employed part of the tune. Men labored at the thcater all Thursday night, all last night and all day today that things might be in readiness for tonight. And all this was done at an enormous cost, Quoting of figures means little to the public. What they want is re- suits. and it is safe to say that when they view the Capitol now they will be satisfied that results have been obtained. It is unofficially reported that the cost of rebuilding the thea ter has run into the six figure mark.
