PATRONS PASS THROUGH
 LARGE, SPACIOUS LOBBY
Seating Arrangements Are Very Latest-Seetion
 for Children
Not a post in the house.

Not a post in the house.
 That's probably the best adver- tisement w. D. Gross can hand out for his 2Oth Century Theatre, opening tonight-and don't think Juneau isn't as pleased as Dave over the prospect of going to a show and knowing there are 1,25O seats to choose from, not one posted"
 The 20th Century Theatre is per- haps the finest theatre in the North.
 Into the Lobby
 One walks into the 20th Gen. Jury (you'll elbow your way in tonight on yielding rubber mats, through chrome-plated doors and into the broad foyer
 In front, is a broad expanse of mirrors. To the left bends gradu- ally lofting stairway. To the right, another stairway reaches in Q sweeping curve to the balcony. Chrome railings line both stair ways. Carpets beneath the feet are heavy and soft.
 Off the head of the stairs be- meath the balcony is the mezzan- inc floor with soft lamps easy chairs and davenports.
 Into the Balcony
 In the balcony are 100 loges and 350 regular seats. All seats are foam rubber covered with a red plush-lik,e material, The seats spring up of their own accord. There is no reaching for down seats.
 The projection room encloses $18,- GOO worth of sound and projection equipment, the last word in Vest ern Electric Sound projection.
 The two great projectors were broken in at the Fifth Avenue Theatre in Seattle.
 Main Floor
 On the main floor there are 800 seats in three sections.
 Overhead is a giant chandelier of chromium trim and glass with several sets of lights for varied color arrangements. The big chan delier is 12 feet across and weighs 750 pounds. It took employees sev- eral days to assemble it and raise it.
 Electric Trimmings
 On either side of the theatre are two great wheels with vari- cclored fluorescent tube lighting effects, while in the recessed ceil- ings above the stage there are also more variations of colored lighting Electrical contractor Jerry Mc- Kinley, who did the installation work on the electrical apparatus, called the lighting effects head aches at first. Now he calls them beautiful" and they are.
 Spacious Stage
 Behind the organ pit is spa cious stage without crowded wings Everything in the way of curtains or backdrops lifts vertically out of sight.
 The curtain proper is of blood red silk plush.
 In planning his theatre, Gross removed two of the showhouse worlds bugaboos-'running" kids and floor drafts.
 To keep the children quieter.

Gross Is Enthusiastic Over Latest Motion Picture
 Projection Equipment

When interviewed today, w. D. Grcss found it difficult tc find words to express himself over the results of the pre- view showings with his new projection equipment.
 We were told when we placed our order for these new E-7 Pro- jectors that they would result in better pictures-but then I always like to see results. myself before saying much about them. Now feel that we are geared up to give the 20th Gentry patrons the very BEST IN PICTURES.-'just as Hol- lywood produced them. Pictures are steadier, more light is on the screen and several possible sources of trouble have been eliminated all of which makes for sharper brighter pictures that are kind to the eyes
 "In addition to this our Projec- tionists are in seventh heaven. The apparatus is 50 easy to operate, to take apart, to keep clean and in Al working shape, that they say it is fun to operate. I wish it wasn't against the rules to invite my pa irons to our projection booth, be- cause I know 1t would be an inter- esting experience to see these new Simplex projectors in operation
