Among the Chicago South Side Gloving Picture Theatersworthy of special notice, attention is directed to the YaleTheater, at 336 West Sixty-third street, about two blockswest of Wentworth Avenue. It is owned and managed byMr. P. Lunn, and has a seating capacity of eight hundredpersons. As will be seen by the accompanying engraving of thefront, the theater seems to have been built into the lowerpart oi an ordinary apartment building; the front is made at-. tractive by varied colored electric lights on the arch overthe entrance. The lobby of the theater is large and spaciousand is decorated by attractive posters of coming the interior decorative scheme green and red shaded sidelights give ample illumination. Four elec-tric fans regulate the ventilation, providing the abundanceof pure air at all times. The operating room is at the rearof the theater, and is situated a little to one side of the cen-ter, causing the pictures to be thrown at an angle whichmade a great deal of difficulty at first in producing a goodpicture. The operator, Mr. Otis, a member of local No. 2,delivers the goods upon the screen, as the pictures shownare better than the average in Chicago. The machine used isan Edison. The Yale Theater was formerly a straight vaudeville house,but at present a straight picture program is given, consist-ing of three reels of first run pictures supplied by the H. &H. Film Exchange.
