VAUDEVILLE
HOUSE IS NEW
PR0SPEC I
RUMORED THAT LOCAL THEATRE
OWNERS AND WELL KNOWN
OIL MAN WILL OPEN UP FIRST
CLASS HOUSE.

1t has been reported that the Low
enstein brothers will soon embark IN
the show business upon more eiaD-
crate scale. The plan so far as has
been learned, is TO take a long lease
on the lower floor of the building oc-
cupied by the Dundee petroleum com
pany, extend the building to the alley
and open a first-class vaudeville house
in connection with moving pictures.
A we'll known oil man, it is said, Will
be interested with them in this enter
prise, and the house will be second
to none in the state if the plans ma
terialize Ardmore has not enjoyed
vaudeville for a number OF years, and
as the future of the city seems assur-
ed, there is little doubt but what a
first class vaudeville house would pay
in this city.
The affair will be definitely settled
within few days, and the public
notified of their intentions.

WILL BUY PIPE ORGAN
Andrew Carnegie Gave $1,000 Toward
Proposed M. e. Church Purchase.


Broadway Methodist church in THIS
city is to be the owner of a handsome
nine organ. 1t will be purchased some
time during the summer months. Dr.
Butler, while at Chickasha, installed an
organ in his cnurcn there. he did the
same thing at Okmulgee and the same
thing at Muskogee. He will succeed
in Ardmore. He will succeed for two
reasons. He believes in building up
the music in churches and his enthu-
siasm will enthuse others. He as now
pastor in one of the most progressive
cities of the state, and that handsome
pipe organ will be purchased.
DR.. Butler has taken the matter up
with the Carnegie Endowment fund
and has received a donation from that
fund of 81 900. The money comes with
no strings tied to it other than that
il must be used for the purpose for
which it was given, and that other
money must be raised within a period
of six months within which to make
the purchase.
DR.. Butler will begin at once to talk
the matter over with the music lovers
and church lovers of Ardmore, and he
will succeed beyond any question of a
doubt
