The opening of the burlesqut^ houses Aug. 23 will probably mark the firing of the first guns In the battle, which from present indica- tions appears sure to develop. The opening • of ths "Greater Movie Season" saw few of the local public aware of the event. A marqueo display by Ijoew's State and 25 three sheet posters donated by the local bill-posting company constituted the sole publicity. Plana for th^ new Shea Qenesee Street picture theatre were an- nounced this week. The house is to seat 1.700. It wUl be built by Bernard Vohwlnkel and leased and operated by the Shea Amusement Co., under a policy similar to thn North Park. ELTIUGE ^™;: 4Sd. W. oC BTy. BrenlBsa Oalr at IrM.
