Yeggmen, leather snatchers, Sec

"THEATER GOER" is
STRONG FOR THE IDORA

Editor of the Bonanza:
Il wish to compliment Tonopah
and the management of the Idora
theater on the splendid bill that
was presented at that house upon
its opening day. l wish, further,
to compliment the theater folks up
on the fact that they did not bore
the audience with long string of
advertising matter, thrown upon the
screen for fifteen or twenty minutes
during the performance. If they
will only treat dogs as they have ad-
vertisements and keep them ont of
the house entirely, the venture is
assured of success.
