HOLIDAY ATMOSPHERE
AT OPERA HOUSE

Manager and Mrs Earle Eveland
are to be highly commended for the
manner in which they show the hol-
iday spirit at the Opera House. The
lobby and stage are aglow with
Christmas decorations, and before
the beginning of the showing of reg
ular films, there are many beauti-
full Christmas features, including
the playing of Christmas carols and
Christmas hymns. But it is not the
inside of the opera house alone
that the holiday spirit is manifest,
but the outside as well.
The entrance has a special artis-
tic holiday design which with it's
lighting effect makes it very attrac-
tive Above the entrance, where
last summer Mr.. and Mrs. Eveland
had such lovely window boxes are
small brilliantly lighted Christmas
trees. and then way up in the tower
is huge star brilliantly lighted.
Another feature we would mention
is the playing of Christmas carols
with chimes effect at the noon hour,
which comes through the loud
speaking system, and heard over
the two towns. Monday afternoon
is the children's party, given free
NV Mr.. and Mrs. Eveland. Surely
the Evelands have done much
more than their share, in develop
ing and carrying out the true
Christmas spirit here
