& VIRGINIA THEATRE, Washington, D. C.
The outside of the Virginia Theater is composed of bevel imported
mirrors. To gather the idea of this great undertaking it is
necessary to state that the building was started on the 11th of this
June and was not fully completed when opened on the
10th of December. The entire house is composed of steel and
concrete, no wood being used throughout the entire
building. The stairs are of white marble and the trimmings
Italian marble. The theatre has a capacity of 400.
Four shows nightly of vaudeville and during day moving pictures
is the policy of the house. The theatre is owned and
operated by Mr. John J. Noonan, of Cincinnati, Ohio, who at
one time owned and operated the Lagoon and
Woodsdale Island at Cincinnati.

& Hoodoo?
Washington – Little theatre operators probably will get either
a laugh or an idea from this. John J. Noonan, pioneer
capital exhibitor, has acquired the Little here and plans to change
its name after wiring. The reason is that Noonan
discovered there are 13 letters in the name „Little Theatre“
and he is superstitious.
