THE PORTION of the theatre to receive the bulk of the renovation was seemingly the exterior. To the left of the present entrance can be seen an arch in the center of which is a doorway. This was the location of the original main entrance before the construction of the addi¬ tion of which the present entrance is a part. The visor-like marquee carries no advertising, and serves mainly as a protecting shelter. Like most New England communi¬ ties, the town of Wakefield, Massa¬ chusetts, refuses to stagnate in any phase of its civic life. So, too, Charles W. Hodgdon, operator of the popular Wakefield and the class Princess Theatres, lets no phase of manage¬ ment go by without applying it to his own interests. To modernize the Princess, at the same time retaining that atmosphere Wakefieldians have enjoyed for more than 25 years, Bos¬ ton's Mowll and Rand conceived this unusual circular addition, to house the box office, thereby releasing room in the theatre for lounge space. 1939 PRESENTATION No. 17 The Renovated PRINCESS Wakefield, Mass. Owner: Princess Amusement Co., Inc. Architect: Mowll and Rand COMFORTABLE SEATING now makes this auditorium a pleasant place to view Holly¬ wood's cinema offerings. New wall coverings, paint, and stage curtains, with the new chairs, completed the renovation to this class theatre in a town of 16.000 but 10 miles from Boston. NICELY APPOINTED, and modern in every respect, is this ladies' retiring room. Modern, leather-upholstered chrome furniture, vanity tables and mirrors are its chief appointments, but in these are the primary requisites to serve the needs and comfort of the women patrons.
