COLD AIR PLANT
TO BE FEATURE
OF new THEATER

With a $4,000 refrigeratirg plant
especially designed by engineers
who spent weeks studying condi-
tions peculiar to Imperial Valley,
the United Artists Theatre under
construction at El Centro will be
the first scientifically refrigerated
theatre in the valley.
Perfection of plans by rcfrigera-
ton engineers is the reason fer de-
ferring construction of the beauti-
ful new 200 seat United Artists the
atre. according to Lou Anger. gen.
eral manger of the United Artists
circuit of theatres.
1t will be the first completely
and scientifically air controlled
theatre in Imperial Valley, states
Anger. who has started the Bellet
Construction Company to work on
the excavation following receipt
from refrigeration engineers of the
completed plan for cooling the
theatre.
1t completeness it will be second
to no theatre III the world, said
Anger. The cooling devices will
not merely ventilate. but will au-
tomatically bring in fresh. purified
and washed air. while continually
exhauSting the used air from the
auditorium. The smperature of
the auditorium. moreover, will be
therm moStaticalIy controlled tC vary
with the temperature outside the
theatre.
Now that the matter of air con-
troll has been scientifically deter
mined by our engineers the theatre
will be rushed to completion, said
Anger.
To Buy Locally
The architecture will be smartly
and the construction
materials so far as possible will be
purchased from merchants in In
perial Valley.
When completed it will COM
pare in every detail except size with
the biggest and finest theatres in
the country.
1t will be one of the first
on the entire Pacific coast to
be built scientifically for the Show
ing Of talking pictures. The ma
terials to be used in construction
the ornamentation and even the
texture Of the seats, are being Sc
lected with a view to acoustical
quality.
To this end engineers from the
Western Electrical laboratories were
brought out TO consult with our
architects, Walker, Eisen & Balch,
Ltd, on the sound features of the
theatre. 1t is the first time the
sound engineers of this great COR
poration have collaborated in the
construction Of a theatre on the
coast.
All this means that in a scien-
tifically cooled atmosphere the res
idents Of Imperial Valley may sit
and hear pictures projected in any
part Of the house, with the same
degree Of comfort, luxury and me-
chanical perfection as in the 1000
seat auditoriums Of New York and
Chicago and other great cities
The United Artists Theatre in FL
Centro will be of reinforced con-
crete construction.

Two Women You Know

There's the one who puts on her street costume,
dabs bit of powder on her nose and sallies forth
to shop She looks here, there and everywhere.
She hunts and hunts and h-u-n-t-s When she ar
rives back home she is jazzy and jaded-aII mus
sed up, mentally and physically.
There's the other who really has learned the shop
ping art She reads the advertisements before
she starts out She finds out exactly what she
wants and where to geti it. Then she goes straight
downtown and right to the store that has it. In
this way she saves time, money and effort. She
comes home fresh as daisy and ready to get the
family good dinner instead of wishing they
could go to a cafeteria.
And the moral is-"A Straight Line Is the Short
est Distance Between Two Points"

WHAT is A vILLAGEg

We were informed last week that q
certain intelligent young man got a
good laugh" out of our use of the
word Village" in connection with
Vashon.
We use the word to distinguish be-
tween the place where we live and the
entire Island. vashon is not an in
corporated town, SO we are at loss
to know just what the proper CLASH
fication is if it is not village.
Our informant says that Village" is
not the correct term to apply to such
o hustling, thriving place as vashon,
but failed to instruct us as to what is
the correct term. So if any Of the
Islanders can give us the desired in
formation We will send them leather
medal, or an autographed photo Of
Skippy.

the startling suddenness with which
these shifts take place Is "kaleido-

the direction of the maneuver. I saw

set to fight some end runs when for
ward passes were the intention. They

Of the attack.

year. Jones thought up new tricks.
Ten years ago, as coach at Iowa, he
did the same thing, and beat No.

straight games. Hunk Anderson was
q guard on that Irish team, so per-
haps you can understand why he said
after the defeat of the 1881 Irish that
"Notre Dame has not forgotten how

remind folks how to lose.
Jones has been coaching for "a
