PLAINVILLE'S NEW THEATRE

Construction speed records are
falling as the owners of the Plain
willie Strand rush their new motion
picture house to completion for its
gala opening Friday night The seats,
which are of a new design and afford
maximum comfort, arrived late Sat
urday night, and within "a hours
every one was in place on the main
floor of this beautiful home of the
photodrama. The last doubt concern
ing the theater's being ready on
time has now been removed by the
aggressiveness and speed with which
the owners pushed the work, and on
Friday night new and wonderful
chapter in the annals of Plainvllle
entertainment will be unfolded.
The decorations of the theater
compare favorably with those in the
leading theaters in Connecticut. The
stately dignity of the Textone finish
is perfectly adapted to motion pic
ture house, while the simplicity and
charm Of the mural and ceiling
decoration blend tremendously with
it. Carpeting specially designed to
complete the color scheme is being
laid, and the various portions of the
theater are now, under final assem-
bly,, seen to be one extraordinarily
unified whole.
The most expensive and efficient
motion picture projectors of the
latest type have been purchased for
the Strand and will be placed in
fireproof booth of the most modern
design. The booth is invisible from
the main auditorium. being located
over the lobby, and only the projec-

is a booth in the theater.
The original plans of the theater
were altered when the rapid strides

into sound box, all its walls

every way the new Strand represents
the most up-to- the-minute construc-
ton and it is a theater which merits
the attendance not only of Plainville
residents but of those of nearby
towns and cities.

DIAz OFFERS new
TREATY With U. S.
Proposal for Peace Lessons In
tereSt in Army Movement

Washington, Feb. % Pl-Interest
in the military aspects of the Nicar-
aguan situation has been dwarfed
somewhat in official circles by re-
ceipt by the Washington government
of a preliminary draft of proposals
by President Diaz for new treaty
with the United States.
Although details of the proposition
which American minister Eberhardt
has forwarded by mail to Washington
have not yet been received, and Off
Gals refuse to divulge their general
nature it is understood to seek treaty
guarantees for the protection of Mic
ternal disorders brought about by
outside interference in her affairs.
State department officials also
have declined to intimate what this
governments attitude toward the
proposals nigh be or to say wheth-
er they were formulated by Diaz
after conferences with Minister
Eberhardt
1t was recalled in some quarters
however, that the treaty by which
the United States acquired the rights
to canal route across Nicaragua
also permits the use of Nicaraguan
territory to a certain extent by this
country for Panama canal defense.
and that in view of this treaty. the
Diaz suggestions might be for nego-
tiating a treaty similar to the new
American-Panama pact. The latter
calls for cooperative defense of the
Panama canal, and. it is presumed,
permits American assistance in pre-
venting internal disorders instigatod
or inspired by any third country in
Panama,
Meanwhile American marines and
bluejackets are firmly implanted
along the Corinto- Managua railroad
in Nicaragua and in the hill fortif-
cations at Managua known as the
Iona. the latter force having been
moved from barracks inside the
town to strengthen the protective
circle around the countrys capital
against possible attacks from the lib
eral forces of Juan B. Sacasa.
Although the marine guard at
Managua, now at the Iona, has been
reduced to IL officers and al men,
II officers and $50 men are now sta
toned at Chinandega and will do
patrol duty on the Managua-to
sea railroad between Corinto and
Leon. Another detachment of 20
officers and $50 men is based at Leon
and patrolling that section from
there to the capital.
