STRUCK BY FALLING
SIGN, CITY WORKER
HAS CLOSE CALL

George Munsey of Pine street, a
driver of one of the city teams, es-
capped with a cut on the head when
he was struck Tuesday morning by
large sign which blew down from
the Augusta Trust building. The &C
cident occurred at about 1880 when
the Macomber, Farr e Written sign
which was hung over the windows
in the second story of the building,
broke away from it's fastenings.
Mr.. Munsey was passing by on
the sidewalk on the south side of
the building at the time. Fortunate
ly for him the awning was down and
the sign struck on that and slid off,
hitting him a glancing blow as it
fell. The sign Is a large one, about
20 feet by three feet in size and if
the awning, which was strong,
rev one, had not been in the way,
Mr.. Munsey would probably have
been severely injured.
AS it was he was not knocked off
his feet. He was taken into the
Augusta Trust Company and DR..
Sturtevant was called. After the
flow of blood was stopped Mr.. Mum
sey returned to his work.

Double Feature Programs

The double feature programs that
have and are being shown at the
Grant-Lee Theatre at Palisade juno
tion are not only the "talk Of the
town" but have been commented up
on by some of New York's leading
showmen who marvel at this innova-
tion by motion picture exhibitor.
The mystery is not that the Grant
Lee is showing double feature pro-
grams for many theatres have done
that with cheap pictures and saved
the difference between what the two
cheap pictures cost and what one
really good picture costs. What the
fellow exhibitors wonder at is how a
theatre with a limited territory and
within almost a stones throw of New
York can take the chance of billing
two expensive pictures at the same
| time and exhibit them at popular
prices.
