Through merging of individual interests and affiliations with other exhibitors, it has become one of the leading organizations in the motion picture field." He was followed by Mayor Moore and Governor Sproul. Then came the overture, "Pomp and Circumstance," by the orchestra under direction of Sidney Lowenstein, and then the Stanley News. Next was a cartoon comedy, "Out ol the Ink Well," and this was followed by vocal numbers by the Stanley Male Quartette. A Prizma, "The Message of the Flowers," preceded the prologue, which was especially arranged for this theater by Hugo Riesenfeld. This was preliminary to the showing of the picture and was a beautiful tableaux. The picture selected was Cecil B. DeMille's "Forbidden Fruit." Philadelphia will have every reason to feel proud of the Stanley, for it represents the most advanced ideas in theater construction, is wonderfully commodious, and in beauty and richness of furnishings and decorations is unsurpassed among the photoplay houses of the state. Indeed, it is doubtful whether there is a handsomer or better equipped house in the country. No expense was spared, with the result that there has been created at 19th and Market Sts. a $2,000,000 memorial to that genius of the films, ihe late Stanley V. Mastbaum, whose name is perpetuated in that of the theater. The theater accommodates 4,000 people. The mezzanine that comes immediately into notice when one enters the theater proper is an open promenade and lounging section, with a handsome Georgian marble balustrade at the edge. There is one immense balcony. It is 50 feet from the stage. There are two lighting systems, a direct and a semi-direct, and flood lighting, with three-color effect. Arrangements are such that one system will diffuse with the others by a set of dimmers, and any lighting effect desired is possible of attainment. For the various chandeliers and concealed lights behind sunken art glass inclosures an expenditure of $75,000 was made. The chandeliers are all of special design and embody in construction crystal and gold. Kremer Sells Upper N. Y.
