DR.. W. H. Lawrie, the colored phys

Of 4 newly-organized company, which
will open a moving picture show in the
frame building, Just west of the Bap-
fist Church, on Broadway The build
ing, which has been used for a res
taurant, was leased for one year from
Rodney G. Whitelaw.
The structure will be remOdeled, Dir.
Lawrie said yesterday, and the roof
will be made a half story higher, in
order to accommodate the picture ma
chine. A seating capacity for $50 per-
sons will be provided for before the
theater opens, and if the demands
warrants it, DR.. Lawrie said the build
ing would be enlarged to take care of
as many more as might be necessary.
The company, which viii operate the
theater, is made up of representative
colored men, among them being Rev.
Cole, pastor of the negro Baptist
Church.

our picture service" said DR.. Lawrie
yesterday. 81 am going to have only
the best class of pictures-pictures
which will educate as well as inter
est the people. We expect to operate
the theater on a strictly high-class
order. We will be open only on Mon
day, Wednesday and Saturday even
ings.
"The colored people Of this city and
community have no amusement. /
believe q moving picture show Will at
least make its operating expenses and
will prove a blessing to the colored
race. Bert Williams. the colored
comedian, will be one of the fun
makers on the program. There are
other negro actors, who viii be fea-
tured as much as possible.
eve have contracted for a number
of pictures, showing scenes and living
conditions in many foreign nations. l
have made an especial effort to ga the
best class of pictures obtainable. BY
running only three nights week, we
will be able to show better pictures
than we could if the theater kept open
every night. The movement has the
approval of the colored churches IN the
city"
Efforts have been made on several
occasions to organize a moving pic
ture show for the negroes, but these
have been in the nature of a charitable
movement, and each failed. This is
the first time when the proposition
was taken up by the colored people.
DR.. Lawrie is one of the most prom
inent colored men in Southeast Mis-
sour, and has quite reputation as &
physician.

thieves who have been raiding hen
Yoosts all over Scott County, but they
have been more active in Kelso and
the immediate neighborhood. There is
not a hen house in Kelso that has
not been visited by thieves during the
past two months, and all traps that
have been set for the robbers have
proved ineffective.
It is believed there are a number of
men in the band of thieves, and it is
presumed that they are selling them
to merchants some distance away.
