JUDGES UNANIMOUS In CHOICE
Mr.. James E. Lewis, proprietor of
our new moving picture theatre asked
his numerous friends two weeks ago,
through the columns of The transcript,
TO suggest an appropriate name for the
new playhouse. In response to his re-
quest he received numerous suggestions
as to what it should be called, but JUS
tice of the Peace Daniel W. Stevens
and Mrs Edward :. Jones offered what
the judges considered the most appro-
pirate name submitted, and as a result
OF the many suggestions the new NOV
ing picture theatre will be known as
The Everett" Mr.. Stevens presented
the name several hours before Mrs.
Jones letter was received but the
genial promoter of our new playhouse
decided to extend to Mrs. Jones also a
complimentary pass to the theatre for
one MONTH making two, instead of one
ticket for the opening month.
The judges selected to determine the
most suitable name were Kew. +. l..
Donaghay, DR.. R. R. Spahr, Prof. o.
