PARADE PICTURE
PERPE TUATES
BIG CELEBRATION

The motion picture made by Carl
&. Rowntree, president of the Scenic
Film Company, of Atlanta, which will
be run by the Chamber of Commerce
in Fitzgerald some time next weei;
will be one of the most notable mo-
ton pictures ever shown in Fitzger-
aid. The cost of making the picture
is to be paid out of the receipts of its
showing here after which the picture
will belong to the Fitzgerald Cham
Der of Commerce. Secretary Clarke
will have meeting of the various
ladies' organizations of the city and
the Boy Scouts within the next few
days for the purpose of arranging
comprehensive sale of the tickets to
the showing of the picture. The
cost of the picture is around $4,000
and it will take an audience of around
1000 people to witness the run of the
picture at an admission price of only
Is cents to cover the cost of picture
and Secretary Clarke is determined
that the cost of the picture shall be
secured at its first run in Fitzgerald in
order that the Chamber of Commerce
may take over the picture as its own
property Immediately after the run of
same.
The picture will be around fifteen
hundred feet in length and is much
larger and longer than Secretary
Clarke anticipated owing to the in
creased size of the Fourth of July
Celebration. 1t will not only show
every item of the parade but will
show the hrehghting exhibition, the
water fight, the aviation flights, in
GLIDING the daring stunts in midair
by the aviators, and the crowds surg
ing in all parts Of the city 1t is a
picture that will forever perpetuate
the most notable event ever held in

every man, woman and child who ap-
pears in the picture will want to sec

forum will be celebrating Fitzgerald
