ditional food, and even then had to
turn away some hungry folks. With
such q reputation established 1t has
not been hard to get the patrons for
every dinner they have given since
then.
This year they will give their an
nual church dinner Saturday evening,
December 5th. Serving will begin at
6 o'clock promptly and continue as
long as the food holds out. The menu
planned consists of Southern baked
ham, riced potatoes, buttered squash,
fruit salad, apple pie and coffee.
The dinner will be served in the
social hall of the church.

MIR. AND MRS. A. W. GANLY
OBTAIN NEW LEASE

1t will be good news to Island movie
enthusiasts that Mr.. and Mrs. A. w
Ganly have signed new lease fol-
the Vashon theatre, and will continue
to operate the show house during the
winter in the same acceptable manner
as through the summer
A number of the films booked for
the winter will be shown here one OF
two weeks after their first showing
in Seattle. 1t is the intention of the
management and the News Record to
keep the public informed of coming
features so that Island people may
wait to see pictures here rather than
to make the trip into the city.
Among the attractions coming in
the next few weeks are "Sooky";
over the Hill; Ambassador Bill;
1.-THE Road To Reno; "Rich Mans
Folly; 1.-THE Cheat; "Iis Woman;
yellow Ticket; and another Charlie
Vial N.Oly.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ganly feel mighty
good over the excellent lineup for the
winter, and are contemplating num-
Der of improvements that will make
the theatre more comfortable than
ever before. They were confronted
with number of difficulties that
have been ironed out since the theatre
has been under their management.
The heating system, which previously
was inadequate for the building has
been improved, and will be made still
better. Lack Of heat has kept many
patrons at home on winter evenings,
but the present managers are insist
Ing that this difficulty be remedied
The lack Of order in the theatre had
also kept many away, but in keeping
one OF their first promises to the Is
land people this has been corrected,
and the audiences now are equal to
those found anywhere
The Island needs a place Of amuse-
ment, and by patronizlng the local
theatre we are assuring ourselves Of
well conducted, up-to-date show
house.
