THEATRES OF CUBA.—Teatro la Caridad at the City of Santa Clara. Cuban Theaters. The theaters present some interesting points of contrast when compared with those in the United States. The build- ings are regular palaces, having been built under the Spanish rule when money was no consideration, but the scenery used is of paper and fire ex- tinguishers are unknown. The sets are nailed to the stage, instead of being screwed on with large screws, as in our theaters. Moving picture shows have an immense following, as have the vaude- ville entertainments. Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Clark of Findlay, Ohio, will arrive in Cuba this month and open up ten or twelve moving picture shows in the various large cities of the island.
