& Clune‘s Broadway

      One of the Popular Photoplay Houses of Los Angeles.

      A POPULAR theater in Los Angeles is Clune‘s

Broadway, in the heart of the business district, but receiving

nevertheless a full share of evening patronage. It is

a noteworthy  fact that in this Southern California city there are

many large picture theaters in the downtown section;

and there seems to be no difficulty in bringing the native and

the tourist to them.

      The Broadway has 900 seats, all on one floor; of these,

and situated at the extreme rear, 200 are loge seats,

raised well above the remainder of the house. There are several

points about the Broadway that will interest the Easterner.

In the first place, these loges command the top price of admission

in spite of the fact that they are the furthest from the screen

– and that price is 20 cents. In the second place, the minimum

admission, 10 cents, admits to the front fifteen rows. For

the center section the price is 15 cents. In the loges are regular

chairs, upholstered; and they are comfortable.

      The Broadway has been doing business over four years.

An excellent orchestra of ten pieces accompanies

the pictures. At each side of the screen is a small balcony

for a singer. One mid-May evening when a World man

was in attendance the ending of one show was marked by the

throwing on the screen of a picture in colors of an old

mill, following an announcement that the orchestra would give

„Poet and Peasant.“ Later, after one or two reels had

been shown, a sweet-voiced young woman sang. The program

of the evening in question was licensed – and it was

a good one. (...)

      Charlie Chaplin is causing great merriment at Clune‘s

Broadway, the first half of this week, in his latest

comedy, „His New Job,“ without doubt the funniest farce

in which Chaplin has appeared.
