“For instance, I noticed adver
tised in one of our large cltiea,
neighbor city at that, a fow weeks
ago a picture to bo shown at a
top price of $1.10 that I had seen
in Athens for 35 cents.”
“If its baseball you want we
have the best, if Its football where
would you go for better? In the
summertime there are lota of
swimming places open, all the

every day in the week there are

“Think of these things,” said
the booster, “before you knock our

The Palace Theatre has put on ita
spring dress of new paint and is all
spic and span from lobby to screen
now. Enjoying the reputation ol
being the prettiest theatre
in the south the management is de

spotless and thp paint brushes have

up the appearance of the place.

just looking around and I didn’t

New York is different but most ■
of the other places, especially the
ones the size of Athens, simply
are not li^, the class witlh this lit

“Why, I actually saw moving
pictures ad verified as “first runs” .
in lots of the places larger than
Athens that I had soon here weeks
and weeks ago. We may havo i
