COOLING AIR

Loew's Palace 100000 cooling
plant is now in operation.
Managing Director Beatus wants
II known that the temperature
maintained within the Palace the
year around is from 20 to 73 de-
grees, with a relative humidity OF
so to IS degrees.
Humidity has more to do with
comfort than temperature, and
this is scientifically regulated
through the theater's air-condition-
ing system.
You have seen the moisture in
the air condensed on the sides OF
a pitcher of ice water. This Is
the principle that governed the
engineers in working out the plan
Of decentralization which is the
main feature Of the system. The
air which is to enter the theater
is blown through a chamber in
which hundreds of small nozzles
are each spraying perfect cloud
Of cold water.
When the air is thus blown
. through the sprays Of cold water
at least SO per cent Of dust and
foreign matter Is removed. seven
buckets of dirt were taken from
such a chamber after one days
operation in cleansing outdoor
city air.
From the spray chamber. where
the air Is cooled and cleaned and
where 1t loses it's excess moisture,
a great fan forces 1t through
metal ducts to the ton of the
theater. From here it is distrib-
uted evenly to all parts of the
house through openings in the
ceiling. The air passes down over
the audience so gently that there
is no sense OF draught.
One pound OF this dry, cool,
purified air reaches every patron
every minute, and with the proper
ratio between humidity and tenn
perature steadily maintained, one
Is assured of comfort without the
slightest risk of taking cold.

IAN actor without a sense Of
humor," says Tearle, sis either
what is known in acting circles
as a ham, or insane. The actor
who takes himself seriously can
seldom give good performance,
for he is too studied, too careful,
and in all 80 self-centered that
he loses the spark necessary for
good acting.
1.-THE motion picture industry is
one OF the most trying In the
world. When in New York

1T is such things as this that
call upon an actors sense Of

CALLS FLEETWOOD
A HICK TOWN

Editor Producers News.
Dear Sir
What is the matter with our county
seat? Is Plentywood going to al
ways remain the biggest hick town
in Eastern Montana.
Every evening that you drive into
Plentywood, it is like going into a
mOrgue. l have been waiting patient
ly for the Producers News or some
wideawake citizen to jack up the city
fathers and have the lights turned on
IN the evening for an hour or two af-
ter the chicgkens go to roost.
The News used to raise cane about
Fishbeck's blinken machine throwing
the town into darkness-the city faith
ers had some excuse then for the
town being in the dark, but now we
have 24-hour light service from the
Montana ana Dakota Power Co., so
there should not be sny excuse for
not having the street lights on at
least part of the night.
Plentywood has some good progress
sive citizens but it seems that the
old mossback outfit keep on running
things their own way. Last spring
when some of the progressive citizens
wanted to put in a rest room in the
Library building these same old moss
backs opposed this move. It's about
time that the progressive element in
Plentywood got together and kicked
out these old mossbacks and make a
real town out of our county seat, or
move the county seat to Redstone and
we will make a real TOWN out of it.
