SHERIDAN THEATER DEDIGATED HERE Fifteenth in Warner Bros.’ Capital Unit Located on Georgia Avenue. Representing the third unit in the chain’s construction program, the Sheridan Theater, 6217 Georgia ave- nue, was dedicated last night, bring- ing to 15 the total in Warner Bros.' Jocal complement of cinema houses. Previous recent openings by the com- pany had been those of the Uptown and Penn, with the Calvert now un- der construction on Wiscoinsin ave- nue at Calvert street. Ernest H. Pullman, president of the Manor Park Citizens’ Association, ac- cepted the new structure on behalf of the community, lauding it as a worthy addition to the area included within the bounds of his association and those of adjacent civic groups. Pullman pointed to a rapid growth by the section in recent years and saw the theater as discharging a com- munity center function. With the Warner delegation, head- ed by Vice President Josepkh Bernhard and General Zone Manager John J. Payette, an array of invited guests, including many prominent in civic and governmental circles, witnessed the simple dedicatory ceremonies which were initiated with a musical program by a salon ensemble under the direction of Alex Podnos. Miss Audrey Sieber, mistress of ceremonies at the Earle, introduced the speaker. A complete sceen program followed the address. ‘The new theater, managed by Frank Thomas, shifted from the similar post at the Colony, was designed by John Eberson and built under the direction of A. Julian Brylawski, head of the real estate department of Warner Bros’ Washington zone, and Herman Meier, in charge of construction op- erations for the company, by the Kass Realty Co. Forming the principal unit in a park and shop development, the house follows the general architectural pat- tern of the Penn and Uptown, while incorporating radical departures in interior treatment. Of the one-floor type. it seats 1,000 persons, has vari- colored overhead lighting fixtures and indirect lighting on the side walls. ‘Wall surfaces have been completely covered with plush of pastel hues. Auditorium dimensions are 85 by 135 feet, with an all-season air-condition- ing system which utilizes disguised ventilation fixtures. Smoking and lounge rooms are located on either side of the lobby. A new type of program board, black letters on frost- ed glass strips, with background rather than legend being lighted, is an- nounced as the first of its kind in the city. Missouri Roads Better. Missouri has spent $200,000 in federally-appropriated money in the last two vears in a roadside improve- ment program. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
