S. S. Taylor is deserving of much
praise for the picture show he is
putting on nightly at his Electric
theatre. He varies the program
three times week Monday. Wed
nesday and Friday with entirely
different pictures and songs. Be
sides being entertaining, these pic
ture shows are educating to the
young folks, as they are bound TO
ask questions from their elders about
the history of certain scenes, there
by gaining quite bit of knowledge
and improssng their minds. These
pictures are free from anything
of vulgar nature and Mr.. Taylor
made the rule from the start that no
boisterous conduct would be toler-
sted, therefore the most fastidious
person can come and enjoy over an
hours entertainment as though they
we're in house OF worship. He de-
serves the patronage of the people
Of Nezperce and vicinity as this was
no small undertaking to establish a
show house here, and in return he
will give the public a nice. clean
oerfs rmance.
