The Moving picture world (May 1922)

212 MOVING PICTURE WORLD May 13, 1922 Mov-Ezy Chairs at the M. P. T. O. A. Convention Exposition at Washington THE Mov-Ezy theatre chair, of which Josiah Patridge & Sons' Company, Inc., are the manufacturers and general sales agents, will be one of the bright and shining features of the exposition which will be held in connection with the M. P. T. O. A. Convention in Washington, where it will be found in Section D, Booth 1, in the Coliseum Building. The Mov-Ezy, which its manufacturers claim is the only real improvement that has been made in theatre seating during the past 50 years, possesses the valuable feature of permitting its occupant to swing sideways and thus allow a latecomer to the show to pass in comfort to his or her seat without necessitating the rising of those already seated. This feature permits rows of seats being placed together as closely as the law will allow and yet give plenty of passage room between them. The Mov-Ezy automatically returns to its front facing position and no force of attendants is required to go through the house and straighten the chairs after the show. It is an extremely comfortable, singlepedestal seat, with individual arms, and may be obtained in any type of finish desired. An installation of Mov-Ezys has been used during the past nine months in the Fabian Enterprise's playhouse, in Passaic, N. J., and not only has the seating given the utmost satisfaction to both the proprietor and patrons of the theatre, but visiting showmen have been impressed by the MovEzy's great and novel advantages that many recent orders have been received by its manufacturers. Those unable to visit the convention exposition at Washington can inspect the display at the New York show rooms of Josiah Patridge & Sons' Company, or will be furnished illustrated descriptive literature by them on request. New House for Chicago Chicago's northwest side will have a new $600,000 motion picture theatre and office building on the site of the famous Excelsio Park. Architect S. Milton Eichberg bought the property, and will design a 2,500 seat house to be in the rear of a three-story store and office building to cover the entire property.
