plan which has been in
effect in other cities

shown will obtain here

two performances during
daylight hours with seats
unreserved, and one eve
ming show at which all
seats will be reserved.
The picture is so long
nearly four hours that il
is impossible to show it more
than three times during the
day and evening. Even then,
it is necessary to begin the
first show at 10 in the morn
ing.
Tickets for the evening per-
formances of Gone With the
