BY Uvvana Theatre Management

BY Uvana Theatre Management
for Monday and Friday Nights.
In conversation recently with MI
Thompson, manager of Kingstree's
popular motion picture play house,
The Uwana Theatre, he Informed
US that he was at that time figuring
on a contract with the Southern
Paramount Pictures Go for two of
their four and five reel finn plays to
be shown at the Uwana each week.
Having read a good deal in the
magazines and other periodicals of
this company's picture plays, and
the celebrated artists who are en-
ployed at enormous salaries to pro-
duce them before the moving pic
ture camera, we hardly thought Mr.
Thompson would be successful in
landing a contract for their films.
Howeyer,it seems that such con-
tract has been signed. sealed and
delivered" and we consider the
Uwana management very fortunate
in having perfected an arrangement
with the Southern Paramount Pic
lures Co for two of their great plays
to be shown here Monday>aaa> Fri
day nights of each week. We c0AS
slider the patrons of the Uwana even
more fortunate thap the manage
ment in having Lasky and Belasco
productions here in Kingstree.
The fact that the Paramount Co
controls the output of the Famous
Players Co, The Lasky Co. The Las
ky-Belasco Co, The Edison Co, The
New York Motion Picture Co, and
MANY other we'll known picture COM
panies is sufficient evidence that we
shall have<he opportunity of seeing
the very best pictures made,i which
will be featured such stars as Ma
ry Pickford, Marguerite Clark, Elsie
Janis, Blanche Sweet, FRITZ Scheff.
Edith Taliaferro, Gaby Delys. Hazel
Dawn, Charlotte Walker, Alice Dovey,
John Barrymore. Maclyn Arbuckle,
Max Figman, Dustin Farnum, Bos.
worth, George Fawcett. and many
other equally we'll known players.
Some idea of the class of pictures
that are~furnished by The Para
mount Co may be- gained from the
fact that Geraldine Farrar paid
$50. 900 to appear in one of their
features, and that they have nine
stars who draw a combined salary
of $500,000, thus insuring the pro-
duction of the very best pictures
that it is possible to produce.
The great scope of this company
may be noted in the frequent ad-
vertisements appearing in The
Saturday Evening Post The La
dies Home Journal" The Ladies
Home Companion" The Ladies
Norld,' THE Sunday Magazine, y
and in practically all of the large
daily papers.
The first of the Paramount Fea-
lures will be shown at The Uwana
Theatre on Monday night, Decem-
Der 6, and each Friday and Monday
night thereafter.
The Governors Lady" featuring
Edith Wayne Matthison, in five parts,
will be shown on December 6; "Gret-
ma Green" in four parts, featuring
Marguerite Clark. on December TO-;
THE Love Route" in four parts.
featuring Harold Lockwood, on De-
cember l3; and THE Commanding
Officer" in four parts, featuring
Alice Dovey, on December II; with
other features to be announced later.
In addition to these new and high
class attractions, The Romance of
Elaine" and The Diamond from
the Sky" will continue to have their
nights at the Uwana. Both of these
are serial photo film plays of the
most popular kind" The Diamond
from the Sky" may be read in story
form from week to week in The
Record. 1t is one of the latest great
literary successes as we'll as a most
popular photo play, for a sequel to
which q cash nrize of S10 600 is of.
