The Elgin Theater introduces several features that are new in Ottawa Ladies will be the guests of the house when afternoon tea is served each day. Check rooms have been laid out adjacent to the foyer, and there is ample private parking space for automobiles. Mr. J. J.

Paul, well and favorably known in Ottawa, where he has made his home for the past ten years, will be the house manager, and will have a capable, well trained staff assisting him. Mr. Paul is a member of the Kiwanis Club. He has had many years' experience in theater management, and has recently returned from an extensive trip when he visited prominent show houses in large American and Canadian cities. The Elgin Theater reflects great credit upon its architects, Messrs.

Kaplan and Sprachman of Toronto, who have designed many successful picture houses throughout the country. Mr. C. Beattie of Ottawa was associated with them in the erection of the Ottawa house, which has been truly named "The Show Place of Ottawa." Elgin Theatre Combines Comfort, Beauty, Safety Without undue ceremony, the beautiful new Elgin theater will be officially opened Tuesday evening at seven o'clock. Mayor Stanley Lewis will speak the few words that will inaugurate this splendid new place of entertainment and introduce the first of the new United Artists' productions to be shown in Ottawa.

This new building, which is warmly welcomed to Elgin street, is the only movie house in that part of the city, and will seat 750 people. It is a completely modern, fireproof building, constructed entirely of concrete, brick and steel. Completely air conditioned, warm, humidified air will keep patrons comfortable in winter and refrigerated air in summer will make the Elgin theater the most inviting spot in the city on hot July days. The ventilation, too, is as nearly perfect as it can be made. Smoking will be permitted in the loge at the rear of the theater, and special ash trays are provided with the seats located there.

But there will be no annoyance or inconvenience to other patrons of the house, so carefully has the matter of ventilation been provided for. The Elgin epitomises comfort as well as modernity. Every possible want of the picture loving public has been anticipated. Off the spacious foyer, attractive with its modernistic decoration of rose, brown and yellow with circular pillars and large round mirrors, provision has been made for retiring rooms for gentlemen and ladies. The cosmetic room, lovely with soft blue decoration and blue broadloom rug, has a modern, tiled washroom.

The lighting arrangements are thoughtfully carried out, bracket lights illumine the mirrored dressing table and the entire effect of the room is pleasing and restful.
