STRAND, new ORLEANS
TO OPEN JULY 4.
Saenger's Magnificent Photo
play Theatre Completed.

The capitalization Of years OF
effort-backe by the faith that
the South is entitled to q photo
play theatre, commensurate with
her resoufc es, and the rapid prog
ress made in the industry, will
find it's fultillment next Wednes
dry, July 4th at New Orleans,
when the SaeDger Amusement
Company, Inc will formally open
their Strand Theatre, corner Ba
rome and Gravier Streets.
Five years in the planning
nearly year In construction, and
the best time, money, energy,
thought, and craftsmanship could
combine, is said to be represented
in the building, that u titanic
tribute to the silent drama, as
well as a monument to the enter
prising Southerners that built it.
From the Obscurity of back
woods nick elodeOD to the gigantic
stride of a metropolitan theatre,
represents the span of time that
has revolutionized the art of pho
toplay exhibition. The SaeDger
Corporation are pioneers in the
South In appreciation of the
support the South has given them,
they have built theatre in New
Orleans, which will serve as a
standard for similar institutions
IN this section. They own chain
of theatres in Louisiana, Missis
sippl, Texas, and Florida, and
controlling interests in several
states further West.
The Strand, New Orleans, has q
seating capacity Of 200O. A sym
phony Orchestra Of 30 pieces, the
largest permanent theatre OrgaDi
zation in the United States will
interpret each and every produc
ton, which a mammoth pipe organ
will serve as an additional feature.
A program Of pictorial features,
SAID to represent the standard con
tributiODs of Americas best pro
ducers will make up the various
programs.

A ROAD TO THE SEA-.
A Project to Build a Public
Highway from this City
to Salt Water.

Through the progressive and
constructive efforts Of DR.. waiter
J. Carsteps. the City Health OH
Ger, a movement bias been launcb
ed for the building of highway
from Avery's Island, across the
seamarsh. to the waters edge OF
Weeks Bay.
1t is hardly possible in glance,
or in breath, to grasp the lm
pOrtance of such road to this
town, to the country between this
place and the sea, to Avery's LIS
land itself. 1t is quite true, that
the primary feature Of such a road
would be pleasure. But, IN these
times of individual high speed
cars, flying to and fro on every
road, seeking every oasis in the
wilderness OF life, offering the
promise of pleasure or novel OK
perience, that road wonld be send
ing up constant cloud Of dust as
an evidence that the wayfarer fol
lowing it's bent was not lonesome.
The man who owns car in this
neck Of the woods would welcome
the prospects of such a place as
an objective in summer or winter
weather,
DR.. Carstens has prepared hls
project most thoroughly, appre
eating the fact that Avery's
Island was the key (and the lock
to any such scheme He there
fore laid his views before Messrs.
Avery and McIlheDny and was de
lighted IN having them endorsed.
The Doctors plan contemplates 9
public thorougbfare constructed
and maintained out Of public
funds, free to all from end to end
from New iberia to the waters
edge of the sea. :.
Such road would tap the pros
pective "Old Spanish Traip at
this point and would do more to
wards causing "New IBERIA to be
printed in bold face type in every
guide book contemplating this
part of the world. 1t would mean
the placing of New Iberia on the
map with a boldness never before
hoped for or assumed. 1t would
mean that this city would be the
point where all through trips were
to be broken. 1t would mean the
first sight of the sea from an auto
seat on a Louisiana shore. 1t
would mean boating, fishing, hunt
ing on the waters rOamed by La
fife It would mean the develop
ment of the latent commercial
possibilities Of Iberia parish's
coast with New Iberia as an Ob
iective. 1t would mean a new in
terest and a new current in life.
It would mean the making of life
itself worth while to few more
thousands Of our people.
The Doctor promises to outline
his plans for financing the scheme
accompanied by an estimate of Its
+, cost. There will be less than four
miles of that road to be built
across the marsh, and the Doctor
has credltable advance opinions
that the road would not cost q
DrOhibitive sum.

We, the undersigned residents OF

request that a public school be es-
lowing reasons:
4. That there are twenty-five
white children of school age who are
debarred the benefit of education
for the lack of a school.

dents returned to their homes with
their children who would otherwise
have remained here had there been
school facilities.

whose vocation compels them to re-
main here are forced to forego that
first necessary and valuable requisite
to good citizenship and the means OF
future good to their state, country
and themselves.

all children must attend school.
5. That we believe the parish OF
st. Tammany owes it to her proud
name and importance in this state
to educate its children.
