Loew's ' 1 I ffiniature Theatre Built in 15 Years BOSTON—A miniature oriental theatre, made by Charles Groves, manager of the Hudson Theatre, Hudson, Mass., represents almost 15 years of "off-work" hours for the theatreman. Groves and his miniature theatre were brought to the attention of the public here in a feature story in the Boston Post Sunday magazine by staff writer William Phelps. The magazine devoted almost a full page to the miniature theatre and its builder. The theatre is a tiny model of a Persian theatre of intricate design, which Groves copies from illustrations he had seen in the "Arabian Nights." The model, made of pasted string and wood, stands five feet high and six feet long. It has a double proscenium arch with pillars, a stage, two balcony seats and an auditorium with miniature seats. Each seat has a little scimitar painted on the bacli. The entire model is covered with millions of hand-painted oriental designs. The aisle runners are painted on velveteen and the theatre is completely equipped with 40 proscenium BOSTON Charles Groves adding a touch of paint to one of the designs on his oriental miniature theatre.

His inventive mind has proven ingenious in managerial work. He has rigged up a system whereby the cashier can see a complete show at the Hudson without leaving her boxoffice seat. He put in a specially angled mirror in the boxoffice to catch the reflection of the theatre screen through a sliding panel in the cashier's box.
