BUYS ANOTHER THEATRE.

Manager Johan Johansen of the Yu' Ma and Casino Theatres in Yuma and the theatre in Somerton, has reached out and purchased the best moving picture house in Imperial. He bought the latter last week and intends to make it as popular in Imperial as are his show houses here in Yuma county. MT. Johansen is recognized by the film world as one of the best men in the business. He has a string on all the first class pictures that are shown in the large cities of the west, in fact Yuma has the unique distinction of being the only city of it's size that can get the high class pictures shown by Manager Johansen. He will doubtless be able to transfer many of these high class pictures to his new theatre in Imperial city, and the people of that place will very soon note the differ ence in the class of pictures they will see, compared to those heretofore shown in the Imperial Valley. I don't know what the present prices are in Imperial, but it is safe to say Man ager Johansen will give them better pictures for less money than they have ever before enjoyed.

It was the first real try out the new Yuma Theatre had under gone with a first class company of ar tists, and Manager Johansen must have been greatly pleased over the many complimentary things said about his new playhouse. That ''it pays to advertise" was demonstrated to the entire satisfaction of every one of the large and appreciative au- dience who were kept convulsed with laughter from start to finish.
