Achievement

Americus' new theater, which
opens tonight, and one of which the
surrounding country has heard
great deal, received a big boost at
the Kiwanis charter presentation eZ
ercises in Dawson last night when
the Americas club, one of three Wis

theater was held up by Presiden;
Lewis Ellis as an example Of what
community effort could do, inform
ing the newly organized Dawson club
that nothing was impossible for that
community with its activities direct
ed by live organization Of this kind
He stated that when the Rylande-
theater was first planned it was to
have been a moving picture house,
costing some $4,000, but that the
local civic organizations Immediately
got behind the builders and persuad-
ed them to add standard stage, the
finished result of which movement is
the $4,000 house now Just com
pleted. He followed with a few de,
tailed facts concerning the house and
invited his hearers to Americas Of

George Galloway, president of tn,
Albany club and newly elected vice
president of the Albany Chamber of
Commerce, in speaking for the AL.
bany visitors, referred to the new
Americas house with the statement
that Albany would patronize it lib.
orally on the opening occasion, but
appealed to the diners to continue to
come to Albany on other occasions.
