The perfume from the Indian heads will do away with the unpleasant odor sometimes arising in packed houses, while the sanifect insecticide will kill all germs that might in any wise endanger good health. It is not because the Delight has been unsanitary that this step is being taken, for this theater has since its opening kept its place clean and pleasant, but it is simply because the management desires to give its patrons everything that is coming to them both in the way of entertainment and surroundings. Comparatively few moving picture theaters even in the larger cities use this method of conserving the health and comfort of those who visit them and it is a distinct innovation for the smaller town theaters. The Leader commends the spirit of the owners of this concern in thus caring for its patrons. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 23 June 1915, p.1]
