Farnara, Near Fifteenth -
AN IDEAL AND
ITS REALIZATION
THE conception, development and erection of the Sun Theater Is
the logical sequence to the trend of public taste in amusements.
Within the last few yean it has been conclusively demonstrated that
photoplays have coma to stay, that they are yet In their infancy and
have untold possibilities for future development
THE best actors of the legitimate drama a few yean ago of the
leading stage productions axe now enrolled in "The Movies." The
presentation of film, dramas is in full accord with the finer qualities
of their acting. Scenery is accurate and no detail U overlooked.
, Million-dollar producing companies are numerous. Great directors,
men of the greatest mental attainment and vision, are engaged. The
cleverest playwrights give us the finest plays. The rest has been left
to the theater itself.
THE new Sun Theater was built by experts! , In it beauty is com
bined with comfort. The seating plan is excellent and every seat
has, a perfect "sight line." The interior decorations are a work of
art, with rich, harmonizing effects created at enormous expense,
The lighting and ventilation are as perfect as building science per
mits. Our organ, the largest Kimball ever made, you will at once
pronounce a wonder, and it will be presided over by an artist.
THE Sun policy will be to present Fox, Metro and World features
every day from 11 a. m. to 11 p. m., combined with a musical
program of originality and quality at the nominal price of 10 cents
for any seat in the house, with the exception of a few four and '
six-seat loge sections, which will be 20 cents, and reserved. This
is done merely to provide a way to take care of little parties who
- wish to reserve seats so they may be together.
WE will endeavor to create always to offer only such entertain
ment as will be consistent with the dignity of American man
hood. The Sun is a theater for mothen, daughters, sisten and wives,
where the purity of their thought will be conserved above all other
things. . - , .. ,
THE lavish expenditure of money represented in the construction
of this theater has occasioned a storm of comment; nevertheless,
we feel that the new art of photo-drama is worthy of being repre
sented in a theater where luxury and refinement are the keynote, ;
and with a dignity that this growing form of entertainment fully jus
tifies. We feel that conditions not only warrant! but demand, a
.-: theater of this character, particularly in the heart of Omaha, and
the 8un management baa endeavored to create an institution that
. will reflect credit upon our city, our state and ourselves. And in
conclusion, we have the utmost faith that our judgment will be vin
dicated by the results the co-operation and patronage of the resi
dents of Omaha and its many suburbs.

OMAHA BECOMING
BIG FU CENTER
Producing Companies find
Business Increase Demands
Exchange facilities Here.
IS LIG BUSINESS ADJUNCT
By C. L. OLIVER.
Omaha is rapidly jumping ' into
prominence as a film center from the
standpoint of the. producing compa
nies. When we consider the business
from the standpoint of the business
interests of Omaha it is even of more
importance.
Briefly, let us consider some of the
real facts about the film business as
it affects Omaha.
First, it may surprise you to know
that there are sixteen eirrhano-M An
uik uuamcsa in me wmana terriiorv
eleven of them maintaining Omaha
unices anu exenanges ana nve main
taining representatives in the field bat
renaering service trom .otner points.
Ihe companies maintaining exchanges
in umaha are Laemmle (Universal).
Bluebird, General. Pathe. Mutual
World, Fox, International, Triangle,
Western Supply company and Fonte
nelle Feature Film company. Metro
serves from Des Moines, and V. L. S.
., Paramount, Vitagraph, serve from
Kansas Citv. To the latter micrht ba
added the new Federal Film corpora
tion m nansas uty. 1 he latest addi
tions to exchanges in Omaha are the
International, Western Supply com
pany and the Fontenelle.
The combined film rentals oaid into
Omaha exchanges every week is $24r
350; this in one year totals $1,266,20(1,
some say it is more than this, but
there are no figures available for the
outside companies, so it is difficult to
reach an exact total. That r. big
enough, however, to give an indication
of the importance of the business.
The exchanges located in Omaha
employ considerable help and the sal
ary list is no mean item. An exchange
doing any considerable business, and
all of them here are prospering, must
have managers, stenographers, book
keepers, salesmen, clerks, inspectors
is very close to u.iuu a week, or
$158,600 a year.
Considering that the film business
is only about as old as a child enter
ing high school, and in Omaha not
exceeding ten years, it has attained
quite husky proportions and has a
right to be considered a very impor
tant part of Omaha's busine'ss life. If
in fifteen years a business can rise
from nothing to the fifth industry in ,
the United States, what will be its
proportions in another ten years, and
what will be Omaha's part in it then?
Chuck Chaplin in "The
Bank" at Rex Theater Todays
Charlie Chaplin willperform at the i
Rex theater today in "Tho Bank," one '
of his most popular comedies. Moo

cial program for , Thanksgiving day.
