This popular picture house is run under the management of Mr. Dan Webb, a young and enterprising showman, who has done much to popularise the films during his term as an exhibitor. For the week during which this photograph was taken, Mr. Webb was featuring Marshall Neilan’s “Go Get it,” also Louise Glaum in “The Leopold Woman,” as will be seen by the stands so evenly displayed2 .

STILL MORE IMPROVEMENTS FOR MUDGEE
During the week we had the pleasure of seeing the plans drawn by the theatre specialists; Messrs. Kaberry and Chard of Sydney, for the reconstruction of the Criterion) Theatre for Mr. I. R. Adams. When finished this theatre will have a beautiful appearance and will be a big asset to Mudgee.Tenders are being called in Sydney and Mudgee and the work should be finished by August. The best of seating is being installed in the new circle and will be the same as installed in the new Regent Theatre, Sydney. Mr. Adams has now extended his theatre interests to Portland and the Mudgee and Portland theatres will be worked in conjunction, which should improve levels of entertainment in both towns4 .
