Wright's Pool Hall Remodeled

Pete Wright has about completed
several alterations in his two build
ings that will greatly facilitate his
handling of the crowds who visit his
pool hall daily.
The building formerly occupied by
the Chinese laundry has been parti-
toned off and the back half remodel
ed for its new use. A large arch
has been cut through from the main
pool hall into the annex and five
tables put in there The main hall
is now 25x110 and the annex is
25x90.
The second story is being remodeled
for lodge rooms and dance hall. A
new oak floor is being laid and ante
rooms built. This room is 25x110.
The basement has the three box ball
alleys, the same as last year and at
the rear of the basement complete
steam heating plant has been in
stalled.
This is one of the most complete
amusement and soft drink establish
ments in the state and it is deserving
of the liberal patronage it enjoys.

WHY PEOPLE LIKE
WESTERN DRAMAS

Because they are truly American
plays, wherein American characters,
real, live breathing specimens of
American manhood, work and play
in a manner that all understand and
appreciate. There is no disagreeable
atmosphere about a Western play, no
sprawling in moral misery, common
to 80 many of our modern sex and
other displeasing dramas.
A clean story, with wholesome, viz
lie characterization, is Addison Aul-
