'ARR0W5MITH' I5
 Al 2OTH CENTURY
 FOR TONIGHT ONLY

"Arrowsmith,' the masterpiece of Sinclair Lewis, comes as a motion picture to the 20th Century Thea tre tonight only, in a great produc- ton by Samuel Goldwyn, with Ron aid Colman playing the title role of the crusading young doctor.
 Critics have hailed "Arrowsmith'
 as one of the most important pie lures of all time, and Sinclair
 Lewis himself acknowledged public | ly that it had succeeded in doing everything he had tried to do in the book.
 Helen Hayes, the stage star, plays opposite Ronald Colman in the role Of the devoted wife who risks her life for Ter husbands career. The story of "Arrowsmith" is the story of one mans devotion and ambition in the battle of humanity against the th-dealing plaques which have always been the scourge of mankind. It sweeps from the mid-western countryside to tropi- 'cal island in the West Indies. where young Dr. Arrowsmith and his col leagues go to battle against the black death. His relations with the little nurse he marries as a strug- gl!ng country / doctor, continuing throughout the picture, weave q broad current of romance through itS stirring scenes.

III. Brooks brou ght two problems to the > =,

concerned the lack Of Ayr iculture sub Jects

the Palmer School, which is in an aGricul-

BUILDING
FEATURES
SAFETY
Fire Proof Building With Fire
Resistant Drapes
BRICK, CINDER BLOCK BLOCK

Paul A. Martin of Mt. Joy, Pa,
is the general contractor for the
erection of the building of the
Smyrna" Theatre and his fore
man is Clyde Farver. The entire
building of brick and cinder block
over steel structure was built in
accordance with requirements and
specifications to insure completely
a fire-proof building. The struc-
tural steel has been placed on con-
crete footings from which springs
steel girders and steel roof beams.
The steel structure, it is explained,
is SO built that it is, in itself, self
supporting and does not depend
upon any other part of the build
ing to be held in place. This is an
added safety factor. The walls
are of cinder block, brick and
mortar to provide strength, ap-
pearance and water proofness. The
roof consists of open web trusses
covered with a metal deck, the top
of which is insulated and covered
with built-up asphalt roofing. All
the floors, upstairs and down, are
concrete. All the fabric used on
walls and drapes are fire resistant.
The marquee, made by Superior
Sign Company, Elizabethtown, Pa,
is of stainless steel, the ceiling of
which is of porcelin enamel with
neon tubing for lighting purposes.
The signs "Smyria" and "Soda
Shop" found at the outside front
of the theatre are of metal with
neon tubing.
The front of the theatre facing
Commerce Street is of Colonial
Redbrick trimmed in white terra
Gotta. The terra-cotta is manu-
factured by the o. w. Ketcham
Company of Philadelphia. 1t is
decorated with display cases OF
stainless steel and they are light
ed by f1uorescent tubing. The
Sergeant hardware in the Soda
Shop is supplied by the Mccarthy
Hardware Company of Baltimore
who also furnished the front
doors. All the glass used in the
theatre including the viewing win
dows of the nursery and Hunt
Room" and the stainless steel
front of the box-office was INSTALL
ed by the Hires Turner Company
of Philadelphia.
