ANNOUNCEMENT

Beginning with tonight's pro gram at the Liberty, we will show THREE NEW PROGRAMS a week, each TWO NIGHTS. The George Bancroft picture on this evening will be shown only once again, to- morrow night.
 There will be new programs on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Sundays program will be shown the second time on Tuesday. As heretofore there will be no show on Mondays.
 Increasing the number of pro- grams shown each week in Sew ard, at this time of depression, is contrary to usual retrenching poli- cy, and would not be possible ex- cept by the cooperation of Cap tain Lathrop.
 We believe the moving picture patronage might be increased by giving Seward greater variety of productions, and new show every two days for those who want more entertainment.
 At the regular cost of programs we could not have made this in- crease. However, a special low rate was allowed by Captain Latin rop so that we could make the ex- pertinent in an effort to keep this show house open during these hard times. The result rests with the Seward people.
