NEW CINEMA HOUSE.
A HAMILTON PROPOSAL READY BY NEW YEAR. LATEST IMPROVEMENTS.
Seating accommodation for 950 persons will be provided in the new theatre to be erected shortly on a site at the corner of Victoria and London Streets, Hamilton, according to additional details released by Messrs R. W. Maclaurjn and G. R. Tole, the Auckland architects, who have prepared the plans. It is stated 'that the theatre, which is being constructed by Amalgamated Theatres, Limited, will have seats of a new design, which will be much wider and more comfortable than the usual type. There will be a space of about a yard between each row so that people reaching central seats will not disturb those nearer the aisles. Other features will be a special prosceniurn of a type popular in the new theatres in England and America and a ramped floor which will provide good visibility from every seat. Efllcient sound equipment, heating, lighting and ventilation are to bo provided for. Tenders have been called for the new building, which, it is anticipated, will be completed by the new year.
