Review of opening night at a new theater. Arcadia Theater is noted for being “pretty and comfortable.” It was described as a well planned theater part of the shift towards more elaborate exhibition spaces such as picture palaces. The decorum was French renaissance with marble and an expensive organ; the theater even had an air conditioning system. The theaters policy is to only show “high-class photo plays, with frequent changes of subjects.” Arcadia seems to have been designed as a space for elite art.  By Jake M. Chanin

Article reviewing theater plays and films. Mention of Juggernaut playing at the Arcadia Theater, which was “brilliantly added to the list of picture theaters.” Juggernaut was not worthy for its “thrilling scenes” especially the “crashing through a trestle of an entire railroad train.” This crash was a “climax” and “in itself would makes the picture well worth seeing.” Review demonstrates the novelty of early cinema.
