Beautiful New Sun
Theater Plans to
Open Thanksgiving
Goldberg Brothers, promoters and
managers of the new Sun theater,
plan to hold their opening on Thanks
giving day.
"If we open Thanksgiving day," said
Satnues? Goldberg yesterday, it will
surely be a real thanksgiving for us.
During the construction of this build
ing we have had all the troubles that
the ordinary individual has who erects
a building, in these days, and then
some." '
The Sun theater on the interior is
unlike any other theater west of De
troit It is unusual in many respects.
With its 1,500 seats not one seat per
mits a poor or indirect view of the
screen and there are no galleries. The
interior is unusual in photoplay thea
ters in many respects. Luxuries and
conveniences are present on every
hand. No detail seems to have been
overlooked that would add to the
comfort and pleasure of the patrons.
Omaha will welcome the Sun theater
as an important addition to its social
life.
