Mr. Mor Mark 
PRESIDENT STRAND THEATRE CO., LYNN 
Lynn, the management and policy of 
which is the same as the world-fam- 
ous Strand theatre on Broadway, 
New York. Mr. Moe Mark, vice 
president of the New York Strand, 
is president of the Strand theatre 
company of Lynn, and the new play- 
house is conducted under his persona! 
supervision. Associated with him ts 
Allen B. Newhall, who has had many 
years of successful experience in io- 
cal theatrical interests. He is house 
manager of the Lynn Strand. 
This new theatre is one of the most 
beautiful playhouses in New Eng- 
land. It cost $250,000 exclusive of 
the cost of its site, which by way of 
historical interest, fronts on three main 
thoroughfares, Union, Mulberry and 
Blake streets, where years ago was 
located Lynn’s first public place of 
amusement, Thompson's Opera 
House, later remodelled into the old 
Sagamore hotel after its partial de- 
struction by fire. An admirable fea- 
ture of such a location is that the 
exits on all three sides open directly 
onto the street, affording an element 
of safety in case of emergency that 
few theatres of the country possess. 
A modern ventilation system makes 
possible a constant change of air 
keeping the house cool and sweet at 
all periods of the hot weather months. 
Many other facilities are also provid- 
ed for the personal comfort and con- 
‘comedies.
