BIG CROWD AT
TENDS OPENING
OF NEW THEATRE at
Brownie's Arcadia theatre opened
Thursday night of last week with a
capacity house. Those attending were
not disappointed in any way with
the theatre nor the picture.
The feature film of the evening was
entitled "Silver Wings," staring Mary
Carr and an all-star cast. There was
a world of sentiment and truth dis
played in this picture, and it would have h
been time well spent had every boy
and every mother been able to see it.
Aside from this feature fimhn there was
a comedy and special music for the
occasion.
e Many were the expressions of sur
prise by those who had not visited the
theatre prior to its opening, and you
could hear on every hand the expres
d sion, "Why, I never dreamed of any
S think like this in Arcadia."
y. To say the least of it, Mr. Brownie
5, and his manager, Mr. Press are to be
e complimented for their faith in' our
S. town and for givin the people a
t picture house of this~ pe.
16 Mr. Brownie is a pioneer show man
h, and business man, and his dealings
with the people of Arcadia have been
P satisfactory in every respect, which has
won for him the confidence of every
r, one. He has a number of theatres
in Texas and Louisiana, and all bear
the reputation of being high class,
and worthy of the goodwill of the
Stheatre-going public.
SThe mnanagement of the local theatre
announces for next week, a week of
special productions including, "Lotna
Doone," "Heroes and Husbands," "A
Good Provider," "Wild Irish Rose,"
and others, besides good comedies and
news pictoral. In the near future the
of patrons will be offered among other
Sspecial features, "The Hound of the
b Baskerville's," one of Sir Arthur Conan
SDoyle's gripping detective storeies,
S"Star Dust," "Manslaughter," etc.

These are very interesting subjects
S and we are satisfied, Rev. Ledbetter
'will draw from each many facts that
s will be of special interest to his hear
ers.
' We were glad to meet the preacher,
e not the new preacher as he has been
called by many, but on the other hand
a preacher of years of experience.
o He has labored long in the cause of
a Christ, and has successfully filled the
pulpit in several North Louisiana
towns.
For a number of years he was pastor
e in Monroe, during which time his con
r gregation built an excellent church
e house, and he has had charge of sev
n eral other churches through this sec
s tion.
We take this opportunity of welcom
ing Rev. Ledbetter and his daughter
to the best town in North Louisiana.

PROGRESS MADE
ON GOOD ROAD
WORK RECENTLY
The work of graveling the roads
has been progressing very rapidly re
cently. The Dixie-Overland highway
from Arcadia to the Lincoln parish
line has been graveled, and gravel is
being put on the north and south high
way on both sides of town.
The people of the parish are very
anxious to see this work completed,
as it has been a long drawn-out mat
ter. However, there is a great deal
more work to do, and it will probably
be summer before it is finished.
Improvement Always In Order.
Whatever Inmprovement we make In
ourselves, we are thereby sure to mell
