IT'S A BEE SWARM! The folks standing cautiously on the south side of the 600 block of E. Liberty St. yesterday noon were watching Harold Foulks, a State Theater employee, beating on a pail to induce liberally thousands of bees to swarm -- from which position they were later trapped. The intrepid Foulks, who was not stung, played a successful tune. You might even call it bee-hop. This is the time of year bees are swarming.

New Wide Screen at the State Theater, November 1953

The State Theater's huge new screen will be used for the first time tomorrow night to carry "All the Brothers Were Valiant." The size of the screen is illustrated here as Gerald Hoag, Butterfield Theaters manager in Ann Arbor, stands on the stage. The full screen measures 43 by 24 feet in contrast to the standard screen (inner dotted lines) which is 18 feet by 16 feet. The area outlined by the large square represents the so-called "miracle mirror" screen which will be used for some Hollywood productions. Tomorrow's film will fill all but about five feet on each edge of the stage-wide screen. "The Robe," opening here on Thanksgiving Day, will use the entire screen area.
