The Theatre of Comfort
AS SHAKESPEARE said: „The Play‘s the Thing,“ but equally important is the comfort in which you can see it. You‘ll
appreciate this if you visit the Victoria, where special arrangements provide unusual comfort. The beautiful, harmonious
decorative scheme, big, roomy seats, lofty ceilings, are all
big factors in the evening‘s entertainment. This
Victoria comfort is more than a fancy – you‘ll find it‘s a fact.

& The case of the Victoria theater is but one illustration
of his discernment in the matter of pictures, and
it also shows his remarkable knowledge of just what the
public wants. It was predicted that when he put on
big feature films at the Victoria he had not sized up the
public right. Mr. Buhler, however, had the conviction
that the public wanted to see these big pictures, that they
were wiling to see them at popular prices and he,
believing in a liberal use of printer‘s ink, after advertising
these various films, put them on. The result was
that every week at the Victoria it is almost impossible
at any hour to obtain admittance.

„The long lines of people outside our theatre afternoon
and evening to see the only Charlie Chaplin, is the best proof
of the success of this production.“
„We turned one of the worst theatrical weeks of the
year, into one of the best, only going to prove that if you give
the people what they want they will patronize your theatre.
(Signed) Frank W. Buhler.
