CHANGING FACE OF LONDON
New Cinema In Heart
Of May Fair.
CUBAN MARQUIS'S VENTURE
London.
Steadily, London's character is changing. Recently a new cinema opened its doors in the heart of | Mayfair
It is, at any rate, suitably un- usual film theatre. It holds 500 people and JB decorated in the simplest manner possible—| with none of the ebullient orna- mentations of the modern "super- cinema."
Every seat, is an armchair and every effort has been made to make the screen the focal point. There is no organ, no orchestra. Only "pic- tures of quality" will be ahewn. Only "the quality." presumably, will go there.
The man behind this new cinema-the "Curzon"-is the ver- Batlle Marquis of Care Maury. Born in Cuba, he was educated in England, served in the Royal Fly ing Corps, is an expert racing mótorist, interested in speed boats. The past year and a half he has boen studying every
