seen at popular prices.
The show will consist of five high
class vaudeville acts, super-feature
pictures and an occasional traveling
attraction such as In Old Kentucky,
The Smarter Set, Richards and Prin

The Imperial is being thoroughly
renovated and put in spic-span shape,
and when it opens its doors it will

HOSTESS HOUSE NOW
KEADYjo\OR OCCUPANCY
-Vm-A
Camp Gordon, Ga., Sept. 27.—The
hostess house for the Colored troops
at Camp Gordon, which has been in
process of erection for several weeks,
is now ready for occupancy. The At
lanta Constitution says: “The house
is a building complete in its expres
sion of beauty and comfort, the same
attention being given to the details of
harmonious and artistic equipment
that characterizes all the hostess
houses that have been and are still
being erected at nearly every canton
ment in the country, and is designed
along the same lines of the hostess
houses for white soldiers.” The struc
ture was provided through the efforts
of the national war work council of
the Y. W. C. A., the headquarters of
which is in Now York City. This fills
a long felt want, as there was great
need for the Colored soldiers at Camp
Gordon to have a suitable place where
they might meet their relatives and
friends who had come from a distance
to visit them.
