The Moving picture world (November 1926-December 1926)

November 13, 1926 MOVING PICTURE WORLD 115 Seattle Winter Qarden Reopens With New Equipment THRONGS packed the Winter Garden, Seattle, when it reopened following a brief closing for completely redecorating and refurnishing the house, and altering the face of the building to make a much larger lobby. Walls and foyer have been done in travertine, the architectural scheme being Spanish throughout. An unusual feature of the foyer is a sky-blue ceiling, lighted with gold. The newly enlarged lobby is built entirely of mahogany trimmed with ornamental wrought iron. The stage has been enlarged to permit special presentations, which will form a part of the new policy. A new orchestra, under the well known leadership of Andy Ward, has been engaged. New Equipment Installed Latest type Simplex projectors, and HeywoodWakefield opera chairs were installed. The complete contract for redecoration of the house was executed by B. F. Shearer, Inc., under the direction of Edward Weissenborn. To Frank Edwards and George Herpick, proprietors of the Winter Garden, is due much credit, not only for the present accomplishment in virtually rebuilding the theatre, but in the original vision which through hard work and good showmanship put over Seattle's first downtown family theatre at a ten cent admission.
