Theatres Form New Operating Company Tri-City Motor Company Takes On Chevrolet Contract E. W. Smith Opens Electric Shop In Building Uptown At least two major changes have been made in the operation of three city business institutions this week, and by the first of next week an entirely new shop will be opened on Roanoke Avenue, in the build ing formerly occupied by Crowd er’s Dept. Store. The Imperial and Peoples thea tres have formed one operating company for the management of both city show houses, and E. W. Smith, electrical contractor is start ing a shop in the South Ward in •which he will conduct a complete electrical appliance show, and which will be headquarters for his contracting business. Roanoke Rapids Theatres In what is described as an “economy move” by its organizers, local theatres have consolidated their management into one operat ing company, and altho the names of both show houses, the Peoples in the North ward and the Imper ial in the South business section of the city will remain the same, they will be generally referred to as “Roanoke Rapids Theatres,” pend ing a name of the newly organiz ed operating company which will be incorporated. Under the new theatre regime, Lyle M. Wilson, formerly manager of the Peoples will do the buying and booking for both city show houses, while Lee Wheeden, former Imperial manager and extensive stock-holder in the Imperial, will be the house manager for both the Imperial and Peoples. The uniting- of the houses into one operating company will aid materially in enabling theatres to offer patrons better programs, ac cording to Messrs. Wheeden and Wilson, and in addition will affect many economies in operation that will be passed on to patrons in the way of better shows on both the stage and screen. At present, city theatres are showing the products of all major producers, outstanding of which are: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Para mount, Warner Bros,. First Nation al, Fox, R. K. O., Pathe, United Artists, Universal and Columbia. Under the new set-up, these same film company’s products will be shown, and the new consolidated operation will enable the exhibi tors to obtain later releases on pictures. Roanoke Rapids has long been famed as a “show town” regularly attracting great crowds of people here from a radius of up to 50 miles. Under the new management policy, fans will be offered even better programs, and the move is generally regarded as one that will result to the gain of amuse ment-seekers.

This week the family shopper will find a good variety of fresh fruits and vegetables to choose from Oranges, grapefruit, strawberries, new potatoes, asparagus, and peas are very much in evidence.
