We thank the public for past patronage, but for the past three
months our receipts have been a great deal less than actual expense.
The price of everything used in the moving picture houses have
doubled in the last twelve months, and the decrease in patronage
makes it necessary for us to discontinue giving shows except three
nights a week. Beginning next week there will be no show on Mon
day's, Tuesday's and Wednesday's. However we will show Thurs
day's, Friday's and Saturday's. We expect to give the very best
shows on those three nights, made. As soon as the serial pictures
are finished we will have a big feature on Thursday's and Friday's
and a Western picture on Saturday's. If you are interested in any
special picture and wish to see it, let us know and we will get it.
Yours For better shows and larger crawds,

A very delightful and intense
ly interesting novel by Geo. Barr
McCutcheon was found particu
larly fitted for dramatization,
which years ago was undertaken
successfully by Robert M. Baker,
and has appeared in every city
and town of note on this conti
nent. So admirably has the dramatist
adhered to the romantic atmos
phere that the many scenes of this
, little German principality are re
alistically portrayed on the stage
! together with the quaint charact
ers who appear in the story. The
story is of an American girl who
journeys to Graustark, who, be
ing captured by a band of brig
ands, masquerades as the ruling
princess. The leader of the exil
ed band is wounded in defence of
! the girl, and with him she falls in
,love, and then follows court in
trigue, with the final curtain with
a happy ending.

The North Carolina Orphan Asso
ciation is calling upon every man,
woman and child in the state to con
tribute on or near Thanksgiving Day
one day's income to the orphanage of
his or her choice. The publicity com
mittee composed of M. L. Shipman,
James It. Young, and Hight C. Moore.
is making an earnest appeal for or- j
phan aid m this way. A letter has
been issued by the commission read- '
ing as follows: J
The North Carolina Orphan Associ- !
ation again calls upon every man, wo- i
man and child in the State to con- '
tribute on or near Thanksgiving Day
at last one day's income to the or- '
phanage of his or her choice.
A year ago this appeal was issued 1
for the first time. The response was 1
gratifying, not only because of the un
precedented gifts made to the various
orphanages, but also because it re
vealed the tender and practical sym
pathy which our people feel toward
thethousands of our fatherless chil
dren. ;
In order that
a w-v-
ment and support may be provided, the j
Une-Day-For-The-Orphans" Movement
was started calling upon all our people
to add to the stream of regular con
tributions a special Thanksgiving offer
ing equal to a day's income. This is
a reasonable request, for any one can
share with the orphans the earnings
of one day out of three hundred and
sixty-five. Tt is practicable, for rich
and poor alike can participate in it. It 1
enlists Our nennlfi of all frcclc on1 I
classes in beautiful co-operation for
the support of a needed civic and
Christian philanthropy.
We, therefiore, make our appeal to
The prince of business to give out of
his abundance the actual or estimated
income of a day. j
The landlord and money lender to
give one day's rent of his houses and :
lands, or one day's interest on his ''
money. !
The professional man to give one '
day's earnings, specifying the day or I
laKing tne average day.
The salaried worker to give his or
her salary for a day.
The laborer with only pick-up jobs to
devote some special day to this cause.
The good housewife with her in
genuity and devotion to set apart the
work of a day.
The boys and girls with no regular
income to get a job after school hours
or on some Saturday and give the pro
ceeds to the orphans.
In short, everybody, old and young,
rich and poor, learned and illiterate,
to join in this holy movement and thus
to "visit the fatherless in their afflic
titon." To- this end we call upon the editors
of our papers, daily and weekly, secu
lar and religious, to give the widest
possible publicity to this movement
which is philanthropic in mirnoss nnrf
state-wide in extent; we call upon all!
cnurcn leaders of all denominations,:
including pastors, Sunday school super-'
intenaents, women's workers, and oth
ers of influence to urge in their respec
tive congregations the giving oLa day's
income to their respective orphanage;
we call upon the officers of the va'
rious orders to bring this movement
to the attention of each; man in their
membership and enlist him in this
extra offerings; we call upon teachers,
doctors, lawyers, merchants, manufac
turers and all others with local fol
lowing and influence to induce their
friends to unite with them in givin
at next Thanksgiving a day's work
or wages to the needy orphans of
North Carolina.
Here, then, is our annool- tnti-
your offering on or about Thanksgiving
Day. Make it on the basis of you
earning capacity for a single dav-1
more, if you will; iess, if you i
no better. Make it Jto
