MOVING PICTURES INVADE HANOVER
May 1916

At last the movies have come to Hanover. For several years there has been sporadic agitation in their favor, but to no avail. The town fathers have raised objections to all proposals for the establishment of a regular motion picture theater, so that, save for attending an occasional single night performance under the auspices of one Hanover organization or another, the undergraduates have been forced to bestow their patronage upon the numerous theaters of the surrounding villages. Now, however, the precinct commissioners have granted a moving picture license to F. W. and F. F. Davison. Under the terms of the license Mr. Davison agrees to put on a minimum of three performances a week; he expects during the college year to give six night and three afternoon performances a week. The theater in which the pictures will be shown is to be housed in a new semifireproof structure of brick and concrete now in process of erection on the lot directly behind the present Davison Block. The theater will have a seating capacity of five hundred.
