“GIVE ME A
5 BOB HOPE SAILOR”
AT NIGHT the exterior is modestly brilliant to the point of being pleasant and inviting. A sheer white facade, illuminated by exposed bulbs in the soffut. adds to the striking simplicity of the ensemble. A modern triangular marquee, with the name of the theatre in upright letters atop of it, carries the current attraction in silhouette letters. Other than this, the only exterior adornment is the display frames.
MODERN in its appointments is the auditorium, its gayly painted walls being its chief claim to decorative distinction. The proscenium, toward which the broad "streamlining direct the attention of the patrons, is of simple design, and curtained with rich drapes fashioned of a plain, subdued pattern. The chairs — and there are 415 of them — are of an up-to-date design, replete with springedge seat and upholstered back. Heavy velour cur¬ tains drape the exits, permitting easy egress, yet withholding light.
Out of the two-story-and-a-half brick structure that started life (1885) as the Knights of Saint Paul Hall, in York, Pennsylvania, recently came the Southern Theatre, a delightful 415-seat house that becomes a worthy addition to the amusement spots of this city. In carrying out his own ideas of what an up-to-date theatre should be like. Owner Charles M. McDonald has proved the sound¬ ness of his judgment.
