V. i launcnea at lp ni Sweetheart, 18, Slain PITTSBURG, June 13. A 34-year old widower burned to death today in a flaming, gasoline-drenched automobile at the side of his 18-year-old sweetheart, who had been slain before the fire was set. The girl, pretty, blonde Mary Rokicki, had been shot through the heart by a bullet from a pistol that lay on the charred auto seat between her body and that of Al-phonse Osowski, a steel worker and the father of three children. Both lived in the industrial south side.

Burned beyond recognition, the bodies w-ere identified after the auto had been towed from a suburban Mifflin township lovers' lane to the county morgue. Only one bullet had been discharged from the .38 calibre pistol. The car doors were locked from the inside. An inquest will be held later. Studying Need for Reservoir Repairs Careful consideration is being given the need for repairs to the ow service distributing reservoir on Prospect hill, Second avenue and Thirteenth street, Earl Stall said yesterday.

Concrete in the. upper portions of the walls of the reservoir, constructed in 1914, has disentegrated and become spongy, making it im possible to carry more than half of the capacity. This is insufficient. Eighteen feet deep, the reser voir should have a capacity of six million gallons at an elevation of 1,336 feet. Repair work can be made a part of the water department WPA project for the year, the funds of which- rapidly are being used up, particularly on laying lines.

While WPA funds would care for the labor cost, considerable material will be needed to make repairs.

Notopoulos came to America at an early age, residing first at Chicago, coming then to Altoona where where he began his successful theatre career. It has always been Mr. Notopoulos' aim to present only the very finest in motion pictures to the people of Altoona and this aim has been consistently apparent throughout the past 28 years since the opening of the old Palace where piano music was the only sound equipment in use to provide the proper accoustical atmosphere for the "tear-jerkers" of that period. Gust A. Notopoulos is general manager and Robert Long assistant to Mr.

Notopoulos and manager of the Capitol theatre which will present only the highest type pictures.

N. Notopoulos, owner of the Al toona Publix Theatres, an-nonuces today the opening of the thoroughly renovated and re-fitted Capitol theatre. "My Favorite Wife, starring Irene Dunne and Cary Grant, is the feature attraction at the new Capitol and will be followed in succession by ''The Four Sons," with Don Ameche and Eugenie Leontovich, ana "The Ghost Break ers," starring Bob Hope. Popular prices will prevail and only first class, first run features will be shown. The new Capitol sports a rebuilt marquee, new chrome casings, new light fixtures outside and in the interior, all new R.

A. sound equipment, new projection equip ment, new ventilating system, new screen and better visibility and a large variety of new decorations, including new lighting fixtures and other wall arrangements. Mr. Notopoulos remodeled the Olympic last fall and at present is installing a new air-conditioning system which will be completed in a week or two. Eventually all the theatres in Mr.

Notopoulos' chain will be thus completely modernized. This modernization of his theatres, aside from clearly indicating Mr. Notopoulos' desire to keep abreast of the times, reveals the real reason for his really remarkable success in the theatre business since his first investment back in 1912 when he opened the Palace theatre on Eleventh avenue, be-twen Eleventh and Twelfth streets, next door to Leopold and Bigley's store. A brief history of Mr. Notopoulos' theatrical developments, both in Altoona and other towns in Pennsylvania, should present a more concrete picture of the manner in which the ideas and efforts of one man, a real pioneer in the theatre business, resulted in the extensive undertaking it is today.

Following the establishment of the Palace, Mr. Notopoulos built the Olympic, at Elveenth avenue and Eleventh street, where it is still located. June 5, 1915, was the day on which this theatre was opened for business. In 1919, the theatre veteran took over ownership of the Victoria theatre on Eleventh avenue and Fourteenth street and opened it on November 15. In the fall of 1920, he rebuilt, reopened and re-named this theatre the Capitol, which it is today, presenting it, in its revamped form, to the public on March 17 1921.

Mr. Notopoulos bought the Mish-ler theatre from I. c. Mishler January 13, 1931. and on February 1, 1938, added the Penn theatre, formerly a vaudeville theatre, to the present Altoona Publix Theatres chain, composed of the SEWERS CLEANED ELECTRICALLY L.
