New Paint, Seats, Sou fid for Guion

Guion Hall has taken another step up the the ladder toward th6&t6r excellence. i ., |

During the summer, while most Aggips were vacationing, working, or going to school the local film palace was sprucing up for the coming fall.

The theater patrons will appre­ciate the new sound system, which was installed last May. Manager Tom|i Puddy says that the sound system was bought with the Ex­change Store profits. .J

Sixty new seats will be installed In all three sections downstairs., One new row will be added to the center section in front and will be row zero. The tapered rows on the sides will be filled in to form full rows, Puddy says the seats will be used mainly for Town Hall performances since they would afford movie goers * poor view of the screekl. Now that the stage has been widened, the seats will make excellent Town Hall seats.

Guion will soon- be able to ac­commodate orchestras of all kinds and sizes. Puddy is making plans for new orchestra risers, which he explained as stair-aftep platforms for the musicians. They will be portable and in sections' so that they may be easily1 stored.

Mr. Puddy plans to build the risers ini nine sections which will fit on top of each other. This will enable them to accomodate or small orchestras. /
