PALACE THEATRE WILL BE RE-OPENED MONDAY ® PALACE — THEATRE — WILL OPEN TTS DOORS FOR WINTER OX OCTOBER SIXTH-MANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE To HOUSE-NEW PROJECTION APPARATUS INSTALLED-FIRST OF ITS TYPE IN IRE SOUTH JERSEY-CONTRACTS | MADE | FOR | FAMOUS STARS-LAST SEASONS PRICES TO PREVAIL

It has been announced that Cox‘s Palace Theatre which hus been Cape May‘s cory winter home of the photoplay for the past three seasons will reopen on Monday evening, October 6th. Improvements to the house have been commenced that will add materially to the comfort and safety of the patrons. A number of these improvements were planned before. the world war but were postponed in the summer of 1917 owing to the unusual {conditions brought about at that time by the war. Among the improvements is one that is the first in the entire section of South Jersey. This is a new projection apparatus with an incandescent bulb instead of the antiquated and rather dangerous hand fed are light, This system and projection is comparatively new and the fact that the Palace Theatre will be equipped this way is but another sti indication of the progressiveness of some »f Cape May‘s leading business men. This new apparatus will furnish light of ‘mbsolute steadiness by the use of an electric bulb in the same manner as that furnished by the electric bulb in your own chandelier except that the bulb used to show the photoplays is of 1000 watts capacity rather than 40 or 60 watts and in addition to that it is equipped with a powerful refector and special lens, This type of motion picture apparatus is no experiment. It has been used successfully in New York and Philadelphia and when used it was discovered that it eliminates all flickering blue rays of the ordinary ate lamp and makes for entire safety by furnithing a pure moft light which is almost free from hiat. The projection mt the Palace will be under the supervision of Law» sence Briant. The management has invited those who are interested in up to date motion pictures to inspect the operating room.

In order that the patrons would be able to have the utmost . of comfort additional ventilators of adequate size have just been installed by Jesse M. Brown. This will insure proper ventilation at all‘ times and make the house cool. and comfortable at all times. A new ruling for electric wiring has been made by City Electrician A. D. Reeves in order that the local rul- | ings would conform with those of the [Board of Underwriters. In accordance | with this new ruling the house has been entirely re-wired in conduit. |_ The patrons will be glad to hear that \r. P C. Baily, the popular organist who has been with the local Cox | Theatres for the past two sensons, will continue to be at the keyboard of the Wurlitzer organ In keeping with his past policy Manager Cox has stated that he will continue to select hit photoplays indepently. In this manner he is able to produce better pictures all of the time rather than occasionally as he is not forced to exhibit any picture that the Trust may say. Several new contracts have been made for the most popular stars to appear exclusively at the Cox Theatres during the seasons of 1919-1920. The latest among these are the "REALART" pictures-one of the greatest producing . corporations ever, formed with Adciph Zukor, for merly of the Famous Players-Lasky Corp., at its head. Few people realize the tremendbus advances in operating costs in the *e will hold the price of admission down to that .of last winter. from present indications, is growing, and for that reason there is no doubt that the seasons prices prevail all winter.

Jommunity Service is the out growth of War Camp Community Service and of the playground and recreation Association of America, which latter organization was the parent of the war agency and is closely bound up in the mew social service work. Community Service mims to do for all the people in a community the same sort of thing War Camp Community ervice did so successfully for the men in uniform. It is already operating in many places and the confer» ence here was to take a of present accomplishments and to discuss plans and policies for the future. Howard 8. Braucher, secretary of Community Service and its executive officer, also the general director of war Camp Community Service con ducted the conference, assisted by George E.

We have gathered at opt May to go over tother some of our problems and to gain inspiration and strength for the great tusk confronting us. | The reports brought by our field men are most encouraging, and there is no doubt that the nation is greatly alive to this movement for & more complete utilization of the resources of communities along recreational lines for the benefit of all. We are at present engaged in raising a national fund with which to carry on the | work throughout the county, | though of courie, unlike War Camp Community Service Community Service is rather a stimufiting force than an administrative agency, and local activities eventually will be locally financed and directed.
