The Exhibitor (October 15, 1920)

“THE EXHIBITOR," OCTOBER 15, 1920 39 Allentown Council Recinds Law on Theatre Marquees The city council of Allentown has amended the street control ordinance to allow theatres to erect marquees over the street pavements. A petition from the playhouses of the town, seven in number, prayed for the concession and at a session of the city fathers, the attorneys and managers of the various houses were present to argue their point. Mayer Malcolm Gross voted favorably on the petition and the legislation of council was so guided that no further objection arose. Palace, Emaus, Re-opens The Palace Theatre, Emaus, Pa., has been reopened, after undergoing extensive alterations. During the closing period, the rear of the theatre was moved back to allow the construction of a new screen and to also provide for an increased seating capacity. The lobby was renovated and the building also made fireproof in every respect.
