i When you enter the lobby of the new Fiske, you will tread on carpet with padding of heavy sponge rubber. Then when leaving the doorman, directly beyond him will be the most modern concession stand that could be obtained. To the right and left, with corridors for privacy, can be found modern rest and powder rooms. So that mothers with small babies can enjoy the movies, in the rear of the auditorium is a sound-proof "cry room" air-conditioned both winter and summer to assure the proper temperature. The room is equipped with quality speakers to give good sound while the picture is viewed through the large plate glass section.
