MAY.
’Tis like the birthday of the world.
When earth was bom in bloom;
The light is made of many eyes,
The air is all perfume:
There’s crimson buds and white and
blue.
The very rainbow showers
Have turned to blossoms where they
fell.
And sowed the earth with flowers.
—Thomas Hood.

J Lit 1C darling of society; the men back east worshipped her, she played with hearts as tho love was a
game, but when she tried it on this stern and earnest cattle king of the Southwest she confronted
7 an iron code of honor, and the fury of deceived love! “You will never deceive another” he cried,
* as he brought the white-hot branding iron close to her flesh.
“IN DUTCH” for smiles, which stretch into miles. Admission 10c and 25c
CHAT. Once each week in the twilight hour, we gather with our one thousand readers
to talk of pictures that have come and gone; of others that are coming. “THE HUNCH
©BACK!” Yes, it was a great picture and superbly acted. Our splendid orchestra made
it doubly enjoyable through the spirited and appropriate music rendered. Misses Marie
Ward, pianist, and Nora Huss, violin; Messrs. R. G. Johnson, clarinet, Horton Chris
topher, cornet, H. H. Williams, saxophone, Lawton Hall, drums, all achieved immense
credit and received unstinted praise from the audiences. They each have our personal
thanks. It was a big undertaking for a rube exhibitor in a country theatre to present
a picture like this; we would not have succeeded save for the loyal co-operation of all
engaged with us.
Coming next week-“THE MAN LIFE PASSED BY”, “30 DAYS”, “THE SILENT COMMAND” (a magnifi
cent navy picture), “CHASTITY”’, “SHOOTING FOR LOVE” with a rollicking jolly comedy every day. Good
pictures are not accidental, nor is their presentation a trifle. It calls for honest effort and close application,
eternal vigilance, and unfaltering faith in the peoples desire for an entertainment that lifts and inspires them
as they proceed steadily along the path of life. That’s the kind of service the RIVOLI wants to render the
people of Douglas and surrounding territory, and the kind it intends to give.
