THE THEAT0.
Only First Glass Films and Clean Sub
jectS Presented,

Popular sentiment everywhere in
dorses pleasures and amusements that
are health promoting in their nature.
Hence healthy popular sentiment in
dorses the moving picture theatre un-
der proper management, for they Of
fer paSttimes that are clean and refn-
ed and as consequence flourish in
every community. The foregoing OBJ
servation is suggested by the up-to-
date equipment which is maintained
in the Theato, located in the old court
house building and under the man
agement of Mr.. D, R. Lavender. The
Theato opened its doors in March,
1911, and since that time has been a
popular resort, Mr.. Lavender presents
each night a program which includes
three reels of motion pictures, making
a bill which is not surpassed anywhere
at the low price Of admission. He con-
ducts his establishment along the
most moral lines, especially maintain
ing a resort for ladies and gentlemen
where otherwise dull moments can be
delightfully."- passed away, at the pleas
ures offered by the splendid features
presented. The first year under Mr..
Lavender's management presaged the
most encouraging outlook for a select
and increasing patronge. This condi-
ton is highly creditable to the COM
munity, for all over the country NOV
ing picture shows thrive best amidst
refined and educational Influences.
D. R. Lavender is a native of Gaff-
ney, S. c., and came here in March of
last year to open a picture show. Since
his residence here he has taken an
active part in every measure calculat-
ed to benefit the town, always offering
the facilities of his house for the bene-
1T of church or charitable objects. 1t
will be his endeavor always to display
only the very best films, catering espe-
cially to ladies and children. This dis
position to help all worthy causes has
been the means Of packing his house
several times each day and night in
the week.

ing from time to time larger quarters
and increased facilities. Five years
