LINE ATTRACTIONS i
ARE COMING HERE
Manager Gould Books Good
Shows For Grand.
As the theatrical season is fast ap
proaching and the amusement lov
ing public is beginning to hunger
for a good show Manager Gould of
the Grand Opera House announces
that he has already closed contracts
for the appearance here of several
first class road shows during the
comiug season. While the movies
have hit the show business hard in
recent years, yet good clean shows
at reasonable prices will continue to
get their share of the patronage, as
even the movie fiend likes to see the
actors and actresses in real life upon
the stage once in a while the same
as they enjoy the canned stars of the
silent drama flashed upon the screen
each evening.
There will not be a great many
shows to come South this season
as there are not such a great many
on the road aud they are a little shy
on hitting the cotton belt just at
this time, but tbey all know of Car
tersyille’s ability as a show-going
town and whenever possible they
will arrange so a- to include Carter#
ville in their itinerary.
The opening attraction which will
be announced later will probably be
presenied about the latter part of
September or the first part of Octo
ber.
DIXIE THEATRE RUNNING HIGH CLASS
LINE OF FEATURE FILM ATTRACTIONS
The eyer popular Dixie Theatre
continue to run high class and up
date feature films and to give the
public their money’s worth at every
show. Today “A Fooi There Was,'’
with Robert Hilliard appearing in
the leading role was a rare treat to
the movie lovers aud took six or se
ven long reels to present it and yet
the [ rice of admission always re
mains the same only ten cents, yet
such h picture as this costs the ma
nagement quite a bit extra above
the regular daily service. The ma
nagement are to be congratulated on
giving us such a nice line cf pic
tures. However, you can always
see a good show there as the regular
Mutual line is shown there daily aud
the merit of these pictures are re
cognized far and wide as mauy of
America’s greatest film stars are en
listed within their ranks.

BARBER SHOP
Well Known Barber Enters
Business For Himself.
Mr. W. R. Cruse, the clever and
popular barber, who is more famil
iarly knowu among his friends as
“Alabama Bob,’ on Monday pur
chased the barber shop of Mr. Ben
Day on W.. 11 street, which he will
continue to operate at the same
stand.
Hob is one of Cartersville’s cleyer
est and most genial young men,
clean and straightforward in his
dealings with all and his many
friends predict for him much suc
cess in his shop. He is one of the
best barbers that ever worked in
this cly and for the past six years
has been employed at the Ben Day
shop and the Floyd Bridges shop on
Bank Block, during which time he
has made a wide circle of acquaint
ances and has quite a following
who will be glad to remember him
with a share of their patronage. He
will have with him a Mr. DuPree,
late of North Carolina, who is also a
splendid barber and will be glad to
serve yon on the second chair. Mr.
Cruse wishes to announce to the
public, that the scale of prices of his
shop wi’l be the same as they were
when Mr. Day ran the shop and that
ten cents will continue to be the
price of his shaves.
This shop was established some
five or six years ago by Mr. Day and
it has done a large and lucrative
business under bis ownership and
his many friends will miss him at
his old stand. Mr. Day, however,
recently opened up another shop
called the “Little Gem” on West
Main street with Mr. Fate Horton as
his partner and he will retain his
connection there and may possibly
put in another chair at which he
may again engage in tonsorial work.
