To modernize the system, he uggested: (1) Abolition of all late courts except one of origin- 1 jurisdiction, corresponding to ’he present Superior court, and me for appeals’, corresponding to he present Supreme Court; (2) •modernization of the rules of jrocedure in court practice, and 3) raising the standards for ad¬ mission of lawyers to practice.

Large Crowds Attend Theatre Opening The Dade Theatre had its opening Tuesday night. Large crowds gathered for each show. Though the theatre is not com¬ pleted, Dr. Charles J. Costner, owner and manager, opened on schedule. The ceiling is not yet in, all the seats had not been screwed down, the framework on the projection booth is still up, the doors and windows are still missing and the fans have not yet been attached- In spite of all these drawbacks, those who witnessed the first showing, said that after a few adjustments the sound was excellent, there was no eyestrain in seeing the picture, and the order was good ■o that there was quiet in which to be able to enjoy this first grade picture. In the lobby, Mrs. Costner ef¬ ficiently sold the tickets. Mrs. Wanda Brandon sold candy and many bags of popcorn from the very latest of models in popcorn machines. Congratulations are due Dr. Costner for opening on schedule m spite of the many drawbacks. Work will continue to go forward on the theatre and the working equipment will eventually be ta¬ ken away from the outside of ‘.he building.
