But it's still something of an innovation for the nation’s 20th city. For the time being, at any rate, the Apollo also will offer revivals “Sky Devils,” “Hell's Angels” and “Scarface.” But the management ‘has

indicated that if the public takes kindly to news pictures, the theater may concentrate on them to the exclusion of feature films later on. With public interest in national and international events at a high pitch, Clifford C. Wallace, the Apollo's new manager, feels that the time is particularly ripe for his new venture. Mr. Wallace promises ‘flash news” service to keep pace with the rapidly changing world picture. Likewise there will be additional and exclusive newsreel shots. He explains that about twice as much film is shot as is used in the average newsreel, This additional footage is available to those theaters which pass up the double feature and kitchenware nights for a fuller
