SUITE 17, NICHOLSON SASKATOON BEAUTIFUL IN DESIGN ARTISTIC IN FINISH Superstitions Are Rife at Hollywood vlS THE NEW Saskatoon' latest theatre, the "Roxy," situated on Twentieth between Avenues and opens on Thursday at 1.30 p.m. It may fairly claim to be one of the best equipped "talkie" theatres In Western Canada.

For every one of the thousand patrons accommodated by this theatre there is a comfortable air-cushioned seat upholstered in red Spanish leather, the bark being also leather cushioned. Every effort has been made to give an open-air illusion to those watching the entertainment. Overhead rolling clouds cross the blue sky and twinkling stars peep out. Around the eldes flowers lean over the balconies of Spanish bungalows and tall trees rear their heads In the background. Not the least factor in conveying the happy open-air effect is the powerful Sirocco ventilating system which changes the air in the theatre each six minutes.

COMFORT Many other evidences appear of thought for the comfort and convenience of those who attend this house of entertainment. No stairs are mounted to enter, their place being taken by gently inclined ways, a feature making for both comfort and safety. Along the Idsles, lights concealed In the sides of the seats make the way easy for one entering the darkened theatre. Heavy carpeted floors maintain the needed silcnre for talking pictures, while adding to the air of luxury. Immediately beyond the handsome lobby, where a drinking fountain is not forgotten, is a convenient sitting room with chesterfields in rich Spanish red upholstery arranged around a massive fircpltice.

From this room open wash rooms and Money has not been spared in procuring the latest type of projector with a special type of lens that eliminates eye strain in whatever part of the house one may be seated. The substitution of a generator for batteries is an up-to-date featuie in this equipment. SOUND IS GOOD A test made of the sound equipment gave great satisfaction to the engineer of the Western, Electric Co. responsible for this installation. Such sounds as the notes of a piano lost much less In reproduction than is usual in such equipment and there is no doubt that sound pictures will receive full lustlce at this theatre.

The building is fully fireproof with brick construction and cement floors. The frontage on Twentieth Street is of an attractive rough-faced brick and a canopy overhangs the pavement on which the name of the current attruction will be lettered. N. Rothstein, the proprietor of the theatre, is not without experience in the motion picture business as this is the sixth theatre he has built in Saskatchewan. He will be responsible for thg direction of the house and will look after bookings and his long experience assures patrons of the quality of the pictures that will be secured.

The local manager is George H. Gratias, who was some years ago with the Empire theatre here and has since managed theatres in Winnipeg. Pictures will be changed twice weekly, one attraction being shown Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and another on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The house will open at 1.30 on Thursday with the Warner Bros, production "Everybody Happy featuring Ted Lewis. The famed superstition of motion picture stars while working In front of the cameras now hav been carried Into the radio studios.

This is shown by a survey recently made at the Paramount-Express station, KNX, In Hollywood where star of scrsenland gather on occasion for their contributions to the hour which is broadcast through the national network of the Columbia System. Radio KNX is located on the studio "lot and the programs emanating from there sre relayed to station WABC In New York and then placed on the air. ARLEN WONT TALK A survey of the superstitious ones was recently made. A writers inters est was born when genial Richaid Arlen refused to return his greeting even In a whisper.
