Electric Theaters
Entertain Veterans.
The County Confederate Veterans
who attended the annual reunion here
Friday spent a delightful day, for the
Daughters of the Confederacy and
Hattiesburg's generous-hearted public
gave them splendid dinner in the
Kennedy building. Then the Daugh-
tiers and Veterans marched to the
Court House and there the veterans
told war tales and renewed old ac-
quaintances again.
But a most heartily enjoyed cour-
tesy was that extended by the electri-
cal theaters. The Lomo has always
opened its doors free to Hattiesburg's
visiting bodies, whether it be to the
State Bar Association, as recently, or
for the State Confederate reunion, as
last year.
Yesterday afternoon the manage
ment of this theater not only enter
tanned all veterans and their families
free, but provided special program
for the occasion. During war time in
every boy or girls reader was the
poem Maud Muller" and so this beau
tiful and familiar old poem was one
of the pictures put on for the veterans
A medley of familiar airs, including
the old-time song The Girl l Left
Behind Me-" made hit with the vet
eran visitors. The orchestra was un
usually fine. Director Robinson and
