Moving Picture News (1911) . .—O. J. Trisler has purchased the Iris Theaterfrom the Princess Theater Co., of Omaha, Neb. Albany, N. Y.—Work will soon start on the new ClintonTheater, to be erected at Clinton avenue and Pearl street. THE MOVING PICTURE NEWS 31 THE INDEPENDENTS IN THE SOUTH Washington, D. C. ONE of the leading advocates of the South is the Fich-tenberg enterprises, with H. Fichtenberg as interests of this company extend from Virginia intoTexas, with theaters in most of the important cities. Twohouses of this organization in New Orleans are the Alamoand the Dreamworld. The programs, which are changedthree or four times a week, consist of three reels, twosingers and a three-piece orchestra. It is a ten-cent showthat is worth the money; but patrons are given a cardwhich, upon presentation at the box office during certainhours, reduces the admission to a nickel. The audienceshere are first class and capacity houses are the rule. While not having the opportunity of meeting Mr. Fichten-. MR. H. FITCHENBERG berg, I saw several of his theater managers. With Mr. Good-man, of the Alamo, I had perhaps the longest appointments of this theater are worthy of commenda-tion. Its orchestra has become one of its features, manypatrons coming especially to hear its appropriate and classicmusic.

The fact that theFichtenberg chain of enterprises offers continuous employ-ment and good prices has induced singers to enter this cir-cuit where appreciating audiences are always found. Manager Fichtenberg is not content to stand still, buthe is even now building commodious and attractive housesin Lynchburg, Va., and Houston, Texas. Of the latter will be placed as manager. In this manner hasMr. Fichtenberg become a character in the development ofthe South in educational, industrial and social
