The theater is at- |tracting wide attention among pro- | ducers and exhibitors because it ¢&sa- bodies many new ideas in theater de- sign which are expected to have revolutionary influence on motion pic- |ture houses over the country. | The exterior appearance of the the- |ater is deeeptive as to its size, it is pointed out by the management. The theater will seat approximately 2,500, which makes it somewhat larger than the Riviera. As artist to perform on the Giant Geneva organ, Mr. Elliott has engaged Leo Terry, who opened the Capitol theater two years ago and who is con- sidered among the few topmost movie organists in the state. Joseph Kozak will be leader of the orchestra. He has assembled fourteen symphony players in his organization. Evanston's six-day theater week has acted to the advantage of the Varsity, it is pointed out. Under union rules musicians employed here receive the same pay for six days as musicians in Chicago receive for seven. This ad- vantage in pay has enabled Mr. El- liott, he explains, to choose for his or- chestra many of the ranking artists of the Chicago orchestras. | Prospects at the beginning week were that the Varsity theater would be finished and ready for oc- cupancy several days before the date set for the opening. By Tuesday the seats had been all placed, the balcony |was' completed and the decorators were putting on the finishing touches. of this Poor Kiddies Will View Santa in Broad Daylight Santa Claus had been withholding in- formation from a large group of poor and crippled children who are being treated at Northwestern medical this Santy's part was making the little folks But Old Saint Nick has relented and sent word university school and hesitation on more or less apprehensive. to the voungsters that he will appear in one of the big rooms of the chil dren's clinic this Saturday at about 1 the Think of that--instead oi sneaking down a chimney at night and filling stockings, Santy promises to make a day visit to these sad little boys and girls in the broad light of the afternoon, at Mont gomery Ward 'Memorial, McKinlock campus, Chicago. o'clock in afternoon. These facts came---from the "arctic land of Santy in some mysterious way, probably by radio to Miss Zoe Harps- ter, director of the welfare work of the public children's clinic, and to Miss Florence Olmsted, head nurse. Both Miss Harpster and Miss Olmsted agree that the old fellow gave them an identical radio message and that there is no question now about the time as being December 18. All other reported dates and state- ments have been tossed aside and the preparations are now going forward to give Santa a regal greeting. There will be a tree, oranges, apples, dolls and what-not. Various Chicago folks who are interested in direct aid to the poor, undernourished and crippled lads and lassies of the poorer districts of Chi- cago, will help. The party will see one of the best-looking Santas in a gen- eration, as great care is to be taken to see that the distinguished visitor this year will fill the part in perfect style.
