The Williams-Griffith Theater cor poration, which has previously had control of two other Nebraska City movie houses, is the purchaser. Air Seydlitz came here in the late twenties to operate the Parmele, and shortly thereafter brought the first talking pictures to Plattsmouth, showing the memorable "Swanee River," with Richard Barthelmess in the leading role. Later, disposing of his interests here, Tom went to Nebraska City to manage the Overland, which like the old Parmele was passing through the transition from stase to screen shows. It has been generally understood 'here that success crowned his efforts. and this is borne out in the state ment in Nebraska City News-Press that Air.

FORESEE LOWER STATE LEVY LINCOLN, July 15 (TP) Despite reductions in 1940 assessed valua tions, several state officials believed today the property tax levy this year may be set slightly below the 2. CI mills assessed in 1939. Total valuation for S9 of Nebras ka's 93 counties showed an average reduction of eight per cent from Jl. 643, 583, 430 in 1939. Total for 1940 is $1,510,022,353. Only eighteen counties reported increases while others claimed re ductions ranging to 4 5Tc. A 9 cut on the basis of last year's valuation would drop the total to about $1, S63,000,000, lowest figure since 1921. Last year's total valuation was $2,047,000,000. Latest valuations reported to State Tax Commissioner W. H. Smith in clude Richardson, $26, CIS, 375, a S.Sli decrease.
