A Popular Play House.

Nearly ten years ago A ug. 4, 1899,
the Loveday Opera House opened its
doors to the public as the best theatre
in any town of our size in Michigan,
and one which many towns of 5000 TO
10000 population would we'll have felt
proud.
While East Jordan has not fully in
creased its population TO be in keep
ing with the seating capacity Of this
playhouse it is fast approaching it,
aud the management has ALWAYS en-
deavored TO regulate and improve up
on the quality of attractions as the
demands Of an increasing population
with up-to-date ideas would prompt
and each year find at least a few plays
OF better quality offered the paJrons,
than in former seasons.
As strictly play house, in the past,
it has not been financial success,
but on account Of the handy arrange
meut of seating and other equipment
the house has been used for other
forms OF amusement TO the extent
that expenses have been covered.
The building was rebuilt for the
purpose of catering TO various kinCs
OF amusement, and as varied as cOndi-
tions offered SO long as such amuse-
ment was clean and legitimate.
What may seem TO some new de
parture, the instituting Moving Pic
lures and Vaudeville in the house, is
nothing more than one Of the uses for
which the house was orig ginally and
indirectly designed.
With Mr.. Frank l.. Spencer in
charge OF the Moving Picture and
Vaudeville business which is to run
nightly except when the regular house
attractions usually plays are billed,
and the regular show business under
the management Of w. A. Loveday
as ever, The Loyeday Opera House
often termed the "playhouse" will
certainly provide an attractive place
TO spend an hour or two any evening,
and one where you may take or send
your children with perfect safety.

Supervisors
Will Help

Law.

From The Boyne City Evening Journal
At the recent meeting of the Board
of Supervisors the enforcement Of the
local option law was brought up and
freely discussed and it was unanimous
| ly agreed that each and every super
visor should make it point to see
that no violations occurred in his 10
cality. Each one Is TO closely watch
for "bllnd pigs" "bootleggers" and
all such things and to notify the Off
GERS whenever they find anyone violat-
ing the law or any symptoms OF such
violations. They believe, that the
people having spoken 10 such an en-
phatic manner, their wishes must be
respected and that so far as they are
concerned the law shall be Obeyed
Sheriff McWain has announced, both
previous to the election and since,
that he will use his best endeav0rs to
protect the people from all violations.
In conversation with a representative
of the Journal he stated very emphat-
icly that he should do his whole duty
and he is anxious that every man in
the county should know just what to
expect. The Sheriff has worked for
the cause all during the campaign,
Notwithstanding the fact that he ex-
poets il will make difference of sew
eral hundreds OF dollars in his bill OF
fees, aud now that the law has been
adopted he proposes TO see that it is
enforced.
The Jurnal also learns that prose-
cutting attorney Nicholas has said
that he will be just as Jealous in the
enforcement of the local option law
as he is In any other law and now
that the people are fully warned there
need no one expect any fayors If they
are caught in any nefariouS practices.
