TO MY PATRONS
I am confident that my patrons will
agree with me when I say that I
have been giving them as much for
their money in the way of first class
photo plays, vaudeville and musical
entertainment, as any theatre in
Omaha. I have always believed in
reasonable prices and have time and
time again leased the highest grade
pictures, for which ether houses
have special prices, in order to please
the many people who have found
pleasure and profit at The Alhambra.
Recently Congress passed a war tax
measure and among the provisions is
one that all moving picture houses
must pay a tax of from one to two
cents each for each ticket sold. We
have already a government tax, coun
ty and city tax, while the prices of
films have gone up by reason of a
government tax newly imposed, thus
we pay the war tax twice. Under such
conditions I find it absolutely neces
sary to raise the admission to 10
cents for adults and 5 cents for chil
dren.
In view of the raise, however, I
shall try ‘0 increase my programs
correspondingly. The very best Tri
angle, Mutual, Metro and Pathe Gold
Rooster plays will be shown here, the
same pictures for which the down
town houses are charging from 10 to
20 cents and only providing one hour’s
entertainment. The Alhambra means
to grow in the estimation of its pa
trons and to do this it must grow in
the worth of its features. While I
regret the necessity of raising prices,
not to raise them would mean that
The Alhambra would have to close its
doors. Somehow I feel that The Al
hambra has won a place in the hearts
of its patrons and that they will
realize that, not only the moving
picture houses, but every avenue of
business will be called upon to as
sist financially in carrying our beloved
country through this terrible war. It
is a duty that none of us would shirk,
even though we could.
Respectfully yours,
R. C. PKAMER,
Owner and Manager of The
Alhambra.

“With our great republic entering
a world war for humanity, remove
.he need for the Colored mother and
father to suffer under the feeling
that their son will return to find the
olor line drawn at factory, eating
place, playhouse and ballet box; make
it not necessary for the Colored sol
dier in the trenches to suffer with
the thought that as he bares his
breast to the bullet his sister is se
gregated in the government service

ger of the lynching mob.
“Recognizing the world honored

'and promised home rule to the Irish
and Russia abolition of restriction
and the ghetto to her Jews, the
United States of America is now
•ailed upon to grant the abolition of

this nation goes forth to fight the
natural foe of liberty,* let Americans
highly receive that all shall have 1 ib
