pleted at a Cost of
Over $200,000.
Omaha's newest motion picture
house, the Moon, erected at 1408-10-'

;; is in readiness in every detail, it is
- said.
"The Gray Horizon," starring
Sessue Hayakawa, is the initial
Moon feature. It will be continued
through Wednesday of next week.
Huge Sign Illuminated. '
The projecting apparatus of the
Moon was installed Friday and suc
' cessfully tried out. The finishing
touches of the interior and exterior
illuminating features were made Fri
- day and the sign over the front of
the house was illuminated for the
first time Friday night. It is said it
may be seen for a distance of seven
miles. The sign is 30 feet in height.
The Moon organ, one of the most
comprehensive instruments of its

is said that only an expert can de
tect the difference between music
furnished by the Moon organ and
that of an orchestra.

photoplay program at the Moon, is
regarded by film authorities as the
best picture in which the Japanese
, star has appeared.
Preferred Parking Space
, For, City Officials
Causes Much Criticism
The resolution introduced into
city cquncil Thursday by Commis
sioner Towl, providing that Eight
eenth street adjoining tht- city hall
shall be reserved for the automo
' biles of city officials is causing
much criticism und amusement.
"If the city council can pre-empt
portions of the public thoroughfares
for the' automobiles of its officials,
then- every business house in town
can mark off the street in front of
its place of business' for the ex
clusive use of its automobiles," said
v one business man.
Commissioner Falconer pointed
1 -out that "sometimes city officials
have to hunt around for some time
before they can find a place to park
theif .cars."
"Well, so do we all have to hunt
around for a place to park our cars."
Said the business man. "And I guess
the city officials Are no better than
the rest of us and, their time doesn't
seem to be as valuable."
