*
Good! Better!! Best!!! That’s the way the RIVOLI wants to grow—The way it has been growing
since the manager landed in Douglas September Ist, last year. We knew we had a “hard row to hoe” and con
fronted obstacles that make the heart of any exhibitor tremble, but we “stuck to it” feeling sure that even
tually we would win the good will and patronage of the good people of Douglas. We are not perfect, don’t
pretend to be, but striving for betterment in every way, every day, and the reputation, the RIGHT KIND, of
our house is growing, growing on to what we aim, “THE BRAG MO\ IE Oh SOUTH GEORGIA!”
Coming next week, that TREMENDOUS, WORLD WIDE, WORLD KNOWN, picture, “THE HUNCH
BACK OF NOTRE DAME.” We have reduced the price one-third that the people of Douglas and vicinity
within a radius of 30 miles might see it, without burdensome expense; and they ARE COMING TOO!
The “man behind the gun” is the one that wins battles. We were never satisfied with the projection of
the Rivoli, too dim, uncertain. So our intelligent and conscientious operator, (he calls it projectionist) Curtis
A. Luke, small of stature but big of heart, got busy and set up the ARC SYSTEM of light, and our screen is
now flooded with a beautiful clear, brilliant light which brings out every detail of the picture. Good for Curtis
A. and good for the RIVOLI. He’s “the man behind the Gun.”
DOUGLAS HI MUSIC CLASS
GIVES JAPANESE OPERETTA
NEXT TUESDAY EVENING 8:30
The music department of the Douglas High School will offer to
the public on next Tuesday evening at 8:30, a beautiful Operetta en
titled, “The Japanese Girl”. Miss Brinson, aided by Mrs. Burns and
Mrs. Peterson, has given a great deal of time in the promotion of this
entertainment, spending many hard hours of practice, and it is up to
our people to give their support and endorsement of her work by at
tending.
The admission will be 25c and 50c, and tickets are now on sale.
There are a lot of beautiful Japanese costumes used, and the public will
thoroughly enjoy the evening. Don’t forget the time and date, next
Tuesday evening at 8:30, May 13. The original date was for May 12,
but it has been postponed until Tuesday evening. May 13.
Argument
The idea of this operetta was suggested by reading an account of
a picturesque custom prevalent in some parts of Japan. When a near
relative has to be absent from home for a considerable period he often
leaves behind a growing plant, young tree, or singing bird, which is
called by his name and regarded as his substitute.
The greatest care is bestowed on this object, as it is considered
most unlucky to the person whom it represents, should any harm be
fall it during his absence.
The first act opens by a number of Japanese girls visiting O Hanu
San, a young Japanese beauty who is about to celebrate her eighteenth
birthday, regarded in Japan as “the coming of age.”
Some amusement is caused by Chaya, her faithful servant, who
appears to be overburdene’d by work.
The story is told in the dialogue and songs and contains many
amusing and interesting situations.
In the second act, two American girls, who are touring in Japan
with their governess for education and pleasure, are impelled by
curiosity to enter the garden - , and while their governess is sketching
they slip away from her.
The Japanese girls returning resent the intrusion of a foreigner
and awake the governess, who has fallen asleep at her easel, and pre
tend not to understand her explanations. O Hanu San comes to her
rescue and in the end invites the American ladies to remain as her
guests and witness the interesting and quaint ceremonies which are
about to commence. They accept gratefully and win the hearts of all.
