AB Rr Ba i 7 RE Oy ie 1 June 19, 1926 WINNETK A TALK 47 Norshore Theatre Opened This Week By Balaban & Katz The Norshore, Balaban and Katz' newest theatre, on Howard avenue west of the "L" station, near Clark, opened its doors for the initial per- formance Thursday of this week. The Norshore theatre is a distinct departure from other Balaban and Katz | theatres in at least one outstanding feature. In every other respect it is instantly recognized as a theatre into which Balaban and Katz' architects, contractors and artisans have incorpo- rated every ideal which has given to that firm their international prestige as theatre operators. The principal de- parture in its appearance is the fact that it is almost entirely a "main floor theatre," despite the fact that it will accommodate 3,500 patrons--almost the capacity of the Chicago or Uptown. This achievement is due to the shape of the building, the "saucer" flooring, which brings the back rows close to the big stage and makes all the seats "close-up" seats. Only 300 seats are contained in the delicately wrought mezzanine loges. The theatre will offer two complete new programs every week, changing Thursdays and Sundays, and offering a full concert orchestra under the di- rection of J. Walter Davidson, and pipe organ concert by Chauncey Haines. Screen dramas will be selected from the high class pictures available to Balaban and Katz. Stage shows will find ample accom- modations on the enormous stage, which is fully as large as the stage in any other theatre in Chicago. They will consist of especially produced di- vertissements of varied nature, but for the most part musical and instrumental in form. On the first program, the screen pro- gram will offer "The Blind Goddess," with Esther Ralston, Jack Holt and Ernest Torrence. Man Held to Grand Jury at Inquest on Fatal Crash Edward Bell, 840 Center street, Winnetka, was held to the grand jury on a charge of manslaughter by a coroner's jury at the inquest held this week on the death of Peter Lorimer, 979 Spruce street, Winnetka. Lorimer was fatally injured Saturday evening, May 15, when a car driven by Bell, in which Lorimer was riding, struck a concrete abutment on the bridge over the north branch of the river on Lake street a short distance west of the Wilmette limits. Patrolman Wil- liam Kreul of the Wilmette police force, who apprehended Bell after the accident, testified that the man was under the influence of liquor, as did Dr. E. E. Moore, health officer, who gave him first aid treatment at the police station. Bell was driving Lorimer's car, which he had been re- pairing when the crash occurred. Fol- lowing the accident Lorimer was taken to his home in Winnetka where he died a short time later.
