Arcade Theater announces shift to licensed pictures only
After extensive talks and visits to other theaters the Arcade Theater will begin December 4 by dropping the illustrated song and two reels of pictures in favor of better licensed pictures. The change aims to improve quality as producers fail to supply enough good songs and audiences often leave before the song.
