The Cinema: Greater Carolina (excerpt)

by Dick Pitts

Local fans who visited the Carolina yesterday — the Greater Carolina — must have been pleasantly surprised. An amazing amount of work has been done during the three weeks the theater was closed for remodeling and redecoration.

Not only has the surroundings, the atmosphere been improved, but also the sound, and the acoustics of the theater have been improved. More than 100 seats were lost in the installation of new seats. The seats are spaced farther apart, allowing long-legged cinema fans to sit down without going through painful contortions.
