Five Theatres Entangled In Police Investigation OKLAHOMA CITY — Fifteen business places, including five theatres, received frontpage publicity in connection with a perversion probe that netted two suspects arrested after a four-day check. The investigation was launched after police received a letter stating "homosexual activities are being conducted in a disgraceful manner in many downtown business houses." Police said they did not have sufficient evidence against two men arrested at the Warner Theatre to warrant filing of state charges, but added they would be charged with disorderly conduct. Investigation of 15 places named in anonymous letter will continue in attempt to gather evidence to support state charges against perverts. Police said they considered inform.ation in the letter correct. The letter writer said he spent three weeks gathering informatioK on vice in Oklahoma City, and declared he feared for his life if he disclosed his name.

ii;; y\'% THE SPLIT-APERTURE TEST —THE MOST CRITICAL COMPARISON TEST OF PROJECTOR PERFORMANCE. Here you see the reproduction of a split aperture test between CENTURY projectors and ordinary projectors. The CENTURY holf of the screen proves CENTURY'S superiority—it's olive and it sparkles. The other half of the screen (on ordinary projector) is dull and uninteresting. Moke this test in your own theatre and be convinced—change to CENTURY projectors for bigger box office returns. CENTURY projectors were the choice for Cinerama, the new spectacular "3 dimensionol" motion pictures. You have much to gain by using CENTURY Projection' and Sound. See your CENTURY dealer for a demonstration. %en^% CENTURY PROJECTOR CORPORATION^JJEW YORK, n. y.
