RAREBEAUTY
Interior Simply Done
In Delicate Colors;
Draperies and Lights
Pretty

The beauty OF Brownsville's new
theater. the Capitol, just completed
at Eleventh and Levee streets. at an
estimated total cost Of S125,000. will
not be surpassed in the Valley for
many years, in the opinion OF those
who have seen the interior Of the
structure as il stands today.
The general public will be given an
opportunity TO judge for itself Tues
day night. when the formal opening,
in the form Of a St. Valentines day
party, Is held.
In planning the house, the idea or
a stuffy, overdone affair of much red
plush and rich draperies was left AZ
far in the background as possible,
with n result that the finished house

kxsct reproduction OF the famous
curtain in Rcxie's New York theater,
that will greet the eye Of the specta-
tor, while waiting for the perform
ance to begin.
This curtain alone cost many hun

sufficient for any show that may
come to the Valley, and the manage
ment is planning TO bring the best
available here-are in place, ready
for the grand opening Tuesday night.

Tow shimmering chandeliers. each
of unusual size adorn the ceiling Of
the new playhouse, giving an air Of
brilliance to the place when the
nights are on.
OF the lights themselves Mr.. and
Mrs. Brownsville might well spend
sometime in discussion. The most
intricate lighting system or any the
alter in this section has been devised
for the comfort and convenience Of
the patrons. From a ~one-candle-
power glow OF velvety softness the
lights may be worked along d scale

any brightness desired, or they may
be dimmed again before the MAXI

Comfort and safety were designed
and built into every feature of the
Capitol theater, the city's new u
ment enterprise, which will be laun-
ched here Tuesday night.
When j. M. Nix, owner Of the build
ing, consulted with 'G-. =. Ss----
local representative of 10. Itr.-T.
architects, of San Antonio, one of his
first stipulations was the house must
be comfortable and safe. With this
idea constantly in mind the leading
architects of the company carefully
worked out the plans for a house that
would answer the specifications laid
down by Mr.. Nix.
The same idea was instilled in the
mind of j. NJ. Spradlin, who came
here early in September to take
charge Of the building. The result is
a finished product with every facil-
ity for the comfort and safety of
the patron provided for.
There will be cool air in summer. a
modern heating plant for the are
winter weather that is experienced
in this section, soft, but firm form
fitting seats and deep carpets.
For safety the building is absolu-
tely fire proof, but as an added pre-
caution many emergency exits are
provided. The projection room is all
emergency shutters that will close

flash Of flame from a film reel.

that 60 to create a feeling of stuff
ness.
They are instead, Of plain leather
air cushions, with a unornamented
back of mahogany, that is form fit
ting. Each seat was designed es-
pecially for comfort.
The building itself was constructed
with the ultimate comfort of the
spectator in view. From tia topmost
seat in the balcony to the front seat
on the lower floor a full and uninter-
rupted view Of the stage may be had
without moving from the most COM

In every dressing room, each of
