Nebraska State Exhibitors
Meet at Grand Island
The Nebraska State branch of the
Motion ricture Exhibitors' of Amer
ica will hold a second annual meet
ing Tuesday, August 7, at the Lied
rrkranz theater in Grand Island.
Every exhibitor in the state is urgent
ly requested to be present, whether
a member of this organization or not.
Several important matters are to be
taken up matters that mean money
to the exhibitor.
II. M. Thomas of the Strand theater
of Omaha and president of the as
sociation says: I don t see how some
exhibitors in the state can say that
this association is a Lincoln-Omaha
one. The bigpest man in the busi
ness in Nebraska has no more to say
than the smallest. It's certain that a
few exhibitors can't bear the whole
burden, but if we will all get together
we can accomplish wonders.
"Look what Nebraska did at the
Chicago convention. Colonel F. D.
Eager of Lincoln was without a doubt
the man of the hour and no doubt
could have been elected president of
the association if he had so desired,
as any of the trade papers will verify.
Then honor was given Nebraska in
the appointing of one man on the
executive board and one man as the
third vice president. I'll tell you that
Nebraska has the stuff in her to do
things if all will co-operate."
A detailed report of the Chicago
convention will be read by the dele
Kates. It is expected that this con
vention will be the biggest yet held
in Nebraska.
