Grand opera house cooling system draws steady crowds
The Grand opera house welcomes large audiences despite heat due to an invisible cooling system. A basement fan four feet thick and 14 feet in diameter pushes cool air through registers as air shafts channel air from the building behind the walls. People have learned to feel the chill near the door as air rises. George F. Fish reports that George Arvine and Miss Lucile Spinney will headline the Majestic season. The Majestic plans improvements to open September 6 with the same stars, while Park Theater showcases Lena Rivers with Beulah Poynter in top form as heroine.
