CONCERNING PROOTOR’S. lt‘rorn actual tests made during one of the hot days last week, it was shown that during the daylight period the temperature or the interior of the l‘roclor theatres was from 12 to 15 de- 11,r11r1s lower than the thcometrlc read— ings outside in the shade. This result is attained not through the use of iced air currents, so provocative of Summer colds, but through an intelli- gent application of natural principles. The Proctor theatres are all open on three side. and the natural Ventilation aided by electric tans, keeps the air in constant motion. and renders the Proc- tor houses among the most comfortable places in New York. The fact that these houses are always comfortable is now very generally appreciated, and even the summer resorts do not tempt the regular patrons from their weekly attendance The various theatres are generously filled, and the bills offered in the summer are of the same quality as those brought forward in the regu- lar season. There is no cheapcning of the programmes in the summer; on the contrary, in the past couple of months more important engagements have been played in the Proctor houses than in other days would have been considered necessary for an entire season. In addition to the big drama- tic sensations, such as the engagement of Charles H. Hawtrey, Jesse Milward, William H Thompson, Jameson Lee i'inney, Robert T. Haines and others. the pr'og1smmcs have listed all the novelties in the purely vaudeville, such as “The Magic Kettle" (one of the real sensations of the year), "Our Boys in Blue" and a hundred other novelties.
