PERSONAL CHAT. THIS THE WEEK OF THE BIG PICTURE!
Said a traveling man to us, “you will never be able to put over such a big picture as the “HUNCHBACK OF
NOTRE DAME” in Douglas.” We asked him why? “Because,” said he, “Its too great for that town.” But
we will show him! Not only will Douglas people rally to the RIVOLI next Wednesday and Thursday, 21-22,
to see this master production, but the entire country for thirty miles around will send their quota. Inquiry for
seats has already come from Alma, Nicholls, Broxton, Ocilla, Willacoochee, Pearson, Fitzgerald, Hazlehurst,
Denton, West Green, Osierfield and Ambrose. And there are lots of fine people living along the line of the
roads to each of these places that are coming. It will be a gala day in Douglas when the HUNCHBACK gets
here. Watch for the parade each dav. Next week we will have “THE SOCIAL CODE”, Tom Mix in “LONE
STAR RANGER”, “THE ETERNAL CITY”, “THE ANGEL OF CROOKED STREET” and “McGUIRE OF
THE MOUNTED.” A corking good program and a fine comedy every day.
