Joie, Fort Smith, an Ideal House The new Joie Theatre, Fort Smith, Arkansas, reflects the most modern ideas of theatre construction from the electric ticket machine in the box office to the hot air heating plant under the stage. There is an entire absence of posts in the big auditorium. The main floor is 78 feet long and 60 feet wide from the orchestra pit to the standing rail. The balcony is as wide as the house and 43 feet deep at its narrowest point, the center. A Departure from the conventional theatre is the boxes. The place where the box seats are usually kept in most theatres is purely ornamental in the Joie and is filled with an art glass panel. The best seats in the house are in the loges on the front rail in the balcony, being only 31 feet and less from the stage. The stage itself is 32 feet deep and 78 feet wide with an opening of 38 feet. The main floor is inclined, affording a clear view of the stage from any seat in the house. The total seating capacity is approximately 1,500, of which about 800 will be on the main floor. The chairs are 21 inches wide, three inches wider than the average theatre chair. They are heavy, well fitted to the body, and with deep upholstered seats. The balcony has five inside stairway exits, with one leading to the alley. The building, strictly fireproof, built of brick, stone and reinforced steel and concrete represents an outlay of about $50,000. — NOBB New Theatre for Negroes Exclusively The New house, opened recently in Ponca City, Okla., is to be devoted entirely for the entertainment of the negro population of that city. The theatre is meeting with very good success. — Noble.
