The Re-decorating of the Arcade,
the Installation of a New, Finer
and Bigger Pipe Organ
Pi
IP Vij
Maintaining the recognized leadership of the
Arcade and Star Theaters in entertainment
and keeping pace with the progress of La
Grande, -ve announce the re-decorating and
remodeling of the Arcade, the installation in
it of a fine new pipe organ, the largest in East
ern Oregon, and the installation at the Star of
another fine pipe organ to give tha theater
going public the best music to be had.
A special theater decorator from Seattle is
now engaged in decorating the Autade.iiiterk)i;-.
and exterior, and we promise a beautiful thea
ter for you when it is re-opened. The balcony
in tiie Arcade has just been remodelled, the
seat rows being spaced farther apart to add
comfort and the elevation is raised to permit
a perfect view of the stage or screen.
In addition to these changes there will be
installed at the Arcade a beautiful new pipe
organ, the largest in this section of the state,
making possible new standards of excellence in
musical entertainment.
At the Star, in addition to the many im
provements already made there the last few
monlhs, we will install 5 arge ""Mp? oTgan and
thus make the theater complete in its enter
tainment features. '
