T. Crall for the erection of a palatial new motion picture theatre at 3107 and 3109 Washington avenue, on a plot of ground now partly occupied by two old frame buildings containing a bar. ber shop and fruit store, The oil buildings will be razed and a handsome new structure, fifty by one hundred feet, erected, and it is expected that the work will be commenced within the next thirty days. The new theatre will be designed and constructed as a moving picture theatre exclusively and will seat about one thousand people. It is to porate all the latest ideas in the way of ventilation, heating and cooling and every attention is to be given to the details that will promote the comfort and convenience of the public.

E. T. Crall, who will manage the new theatre, is leaving early this week for a trip to the larger cities of the North to secure some of the latest Ideas and information in regard to moving picture theatre construction and especially in regard to the best apparatus for film projectioa, and w'll also arrange co bring to this city some of the biggest features that have ever been produced in motion picture. A Chicago firm of designers, who make a specialty of this class of work will have charge of the designing of the exterior of the theatre as well as the interior decorations, and are sending one of their staff of architects here to make special plans of this part of the work. When completed, the new theatre is expected to be the finest and best equipped of its kind in the Bouth.

The proposition involves about $30,000. Messrs. Crall express themselves as having unbound faith in the future of the photo-play, the new and more digbided name for the "movies" since they have reached such a wonderful development in the amusement world and at the same time back their conIdence in Newport News by locating this new theatre here in addition to their other large holdings in the city. MEMBERS OF FINEST DON THEIR NEW HEAVY CAPS That summer is gone, is proved bey the fact that the police shed their -white caps today and donned the neavy blue cap, which will be worn by them this winter. They were to have put on the whole winter uniform the fifteenth of this month, but owing to the fact, that the tailor who contracted to make them announces that he will not have them ready by that time, the police will have to the.r "old clothes" until the last of the month.

necessarily postpone the winter inspection, which was to be beld a few days after the new uniforms were donned, until the last of this month or the first of the next. The mayor and his cohorts are going to try and catch the "cope" unaware, saying that they want the inspection to be an inspection and not a dolled BEGIN Y. M. C. A.

TO AUTHORIZE MORE WORK EXPECTED THAT COUNCIL WILL MAKE ADDITIONAL APPROPROPRIATION EARLY NEXT YEAR So rushed with work is the street force, that City Engineer Pearse does not think it will be possible for him to begin the work of paving the West side of West avenue before next spring, Provision was made some time ago to put macadam on the west side of the avenue and to improve other streets and the city engineer decided to do the work on the other streets first. Considerable curbing and guttering has been laid and a lot of grading work has been done, the force now being engaged in that part of the city known as "Orrville," on the upper end of Jefferson avenue.

Present expectations are that considerable street improvement work will be authorized next year and much of that is likely to be in the extreme north end of North End. Very little work has been done on the streets in that section and none of them is curbed and guttered, the only street improvement there being the paving on Huntington avenue. Some of the finest residences in the city are in that territory and the property owners will ask the city to curb and gutter the streets and treat dirt streets with tarvia. To grade the streets without curbing and guttering them and treating the dirt surface with some preparation would be throwing away money as vehicles would soon cut the streets up and fill in the dirt gutters, it is claimed.

The crowd seemed to be about evenly divided in its support of the contending teams and was much cheering for both teams. The service given by the two local newspapers on this series was as rapid as it was possible to give, the plays being read off the typewriter as fast as the Associated operator wrote them down. The extra editions of the Times-Herald carried every play of the game with the complete box score and they sold rapidly each day.
