S •TEXANS*’ T, JOAN BENNETT A* RANDOLPH SCOTT Across the Potomac from the Nation's Capital and nestled in the overgrown hillocks of northern Virginia lies Arlington, known as Clarendon. For many years Arlingtonians journeyed the few miles to Washington for their cinema entertainment when the local Ashton afforded not the sort of fare to their cur¬ rent liking. With the erection of theatres in Church and East Falls Church and the Wilson a mile or two closer to Washington, the greatly increased popula¬ tion became more movie-minded. Shortly after Neighborhood Theatres, Inc., of Richmond, acquired the property, the decision was made to bring the theatre up to date, more in keeping with its sisters under the supervision of District Manager Raymond Wade Pearson. Architect A. O. Budina went to work, and what he accomplished for the 650-seat theatre is apparent from the "before" and "after" pictures on these two facing pages.
