TO OUR PATRONS We. ourselves, as well as cur patrons hare wanted and longed for r-n up-to-date theatre for some tima past. However the ccst is a gTect deal more than most peopls realize. We have alwsys striven to give cur rations the best rictures the maiket offered, even though we did not h?ve everything else quit? up to the minute. Several .nonths a?o we began a little investigation to see what theatre owners and rmnaers in ether towns about the size of Plattsmouth wore r'oinsr for their fa I roiis and wh?.t they were charg ing then for it. Here are the facts we found from theatres where they had installed organs similar to curs: t Fairbury 10 and SO cents, raise for special pictures. Columbus 10 and 50 cents, no raise. Hastings 20 and 35 cents, raire for special pictures. Kearney. 10 ard 35 cents. rr.icc for special pictures. rrcmont 15 and 35 cents pftcrnoon, and 15 and 40 cents rights. Pittsburgh (Eas.) 25 cents afternoons. 35 cents nijhts. We therefore came to the conclu sion that what they did in ether towns, we could do in p?.ttrmouth as we Lave alwas felt that Platts mouth was as good if not better than any other town cf the same size. (All we need is more optimism and push and less pessimism and lrnock;rg). Eut getting back to the subject. We decided to be as fair as pos sible. You will note that a few of the towns are showing as low as 30 cents for adu'ts and 10 cents for children, so we decided cn these prices, feeling that the public will apprecirte it enough, to give us capacity business, cr recrly so most cf the time. We wish to further announce "that you will not be bothered every two weeks with a "roi'e" rs you have in the past, as we rem to maintain 30 and 10 cents as our standard admission, r.s long as it is possible to do so. .nycne with a large family can -eadily figure that his amus-emrr.t ".t; ill cost him less than it did at he eld prices. For instance, a man with a wife and three children the admission will be 90 cents 7here heretofore it cost him 05 cents even for the regular run of rictures, say nothing about the '"raises" in the past. We feel certain that the people n this community know a bar gain when they see it and will patronize us accordingly.

This phrase come weirdly true in the case of Gene gJ, Stratton -Porter, the noted novelist i who met her death in a tragic auto- l' mobile accident in Los Angeles some j twoy ears ?go. pS Early in 1924, the famous writer y$f planned a novel that would outstrip ra'all her previous well-loved books r: such as "laddie," "The Gitl of the 6$ limberlost." '"The Harvester," ; 'Freckles' and "I-Iichael O'Hallo tA ran," the combined sales of which had mounted into an impressipe num jfi ber of millions. This new effort was 101 to be an ethereal romance, of a tiif- ferent type from her fcrmer works, L with a basic theme of a childhood t love-affair persisting through the ffj Slowly it grew and developed ; the f$ first draft was finished early in the r3 fall, and the final version was com- i pkted and the last rage type on a Uecemcer nrst. ner comnem was &ji that this was her best novel.
