NEW ELECTRIC THEATRE

One of the latest enterprises of
our town is the Princess Theatre
which is under the exclusive man
agement of its owner and promoter
Mr.. W. g. billiard of this city.
The first show was put on Tues
day night, but because of not hav-
ing the electricity under perfect
control, the moving pictures were
not just what they should have
been. An electrician who put
the apparatus together proper was
secured from Augusta Wednesday,
and the show of Wednesday night
was a complete success, the light
being luminous and the pictures
distinct.
New films will be used for every
performance which will be every
night and Saturday evenings. The
performances consume between one
and two hours time and are well
worth the price of admission which
is ten cents.

that they may attempt to work tc

will be to have the widow of the late
