WORK ON NEW
THEATRE WILL
BEGIN SOON
MANAGEMENT HAS lNCORPORA-
TED - TENANTS ARE PREPAR-
ING TO vACATE - WORK WILL
BEGIN JULY FIRST.

The Consolidated Amusement com
pany has taken out a charter and
| will begin the erection of their mag
nifcent new theatre at the corner OF
West Main and B streets, as soon as
the tenants now occupying the build
ings can vacate. The company is
composed of Love & Thurmond, r.
lHelbach, Lucien Cox and B. "A. Simp-
son. Wilson Newman, one of the ten
ants, has secured shop on Caddo
street. where he will continue his
business. London, the clothier, will
move two doors west in the Bivens
building, now occupied by Wards gro
Ger store, and Dixon, the shoe repair
man, will occupy quarters in the old
Democrat building.
Mr.. Helbach stated Saturday morn
ing that members of the company feel
very grateful toward all the tenants
for the manner in which they have
co Operated with them, and their read
mess to vacate, in order that such
extensive improvements could be made
on West Main street. Work will begin
on the buildings July first, and will
be rushed as rapidly as possible. The
building will extend back to the old
Democrat building, which made it
necessary for Dixon, the shoe man,
to secure other quarters.
The company has strong financial
backing, and intends to erect a theatre
second to none in the state, built
along modern lines, with ample pro
lection for its patrons against fires
or panics of any character. On the
B street side of the building it is
planned to have five exits, so the
building can be emptied in a few mo-
ments, should it become necessary.
The management will book nothing
but first-class pictures, and while 1t
is to be primarily a picture and vau-
deville theatre, the stage will be amply
large and fully equipped with scenery
to handle any large travelling road
company or musical organization the
management sees fit to book.
Work will be rushed as rapidly as
possible in order to have the opening
date set for some time in October
Every particle of the present buildings
now on the lot will be removed to
make room for the new structure. The
new theatre will be known as the
Princess.

FRENCH TROOPS SPEND MUCH
MONEY IN SALONlkl GREECE.

Saloniki, Greece, June 24.-The
bankers of this city figure that ST.
500, 900 is being spent weekly by the
French troops in Macedonia. At least
this amount passes from Paris to
Saloniki through the hands of the To-
cal Greek bankers each week, 1t is
possible that considerably more
comes to the French soldiers in mon
ey orders and registered letters of
which the local bankers have no re-
cord. The British troops spend on
ly $1,OO0,OOO a week, as much more of
the British stores are sent out from
home than is the case with the
French.
