According to Leslie Scott, one

j replied “About 13 - you see you j
work one of them at night.’’
At any rate when we arrived j
at Scott’s 100-acre farm, a few \

PERRY J. THOMPSON J
Who is doing who a favor, the theriti. foer or the theatre ]
i owner? j
From where I sit one might think that the owner prides him- I
i self on doing the community MINORITY, YOU PEOPLE as the ';
folk are often referred to, a favor by opening a FLICKER DENT in j
! the neighborhood,
A flicker den is just about the right discretion for most of]
the houses. The exteriors, to say nothing of the interiors, have only i
jto be compared with “the other theatres” in • ur cities to bear j
; out this statement.
What do we get besides ONE BELL picti and SHOOT’EM
| UP HUPLA? Nothing,
: To & et t 0 my point, the managers of most of these FLICKER j
DENS expand their chests with unpardonable pri when in answer j
to whether or not they will advertise these so-called theatres m
; a local weekly, "We don’t see the need, to advertise in your pa
pers. because people « cn r anyway. Besides we can roach" the col- j
ored people in our daily papers.” j
So true so true says Ito myself. "What 100 we mortals be, 1 j

Here we are making others rich with our meager earnings, j

The SIDE ENTRANCE houses are the only plac s where one j
might see a FIRST RUN picture in these parts. i
Yet. if we are suckers enough to fill the tills of the th’rd class 1
dens, without some question, shame on us, long lit management!? •
Getting down to brass tacks. Here yon have a newspaper to j
cater to your peculiar needs as no other paper docs. As has been :

paper only costs you a dime a copy, chuck full of North Carolina ;
HOMETOWN news and pictures. Yet co: Is hundreds of dollars ’
: weekly to publish. j
Ev-'-ry merchant knows that advertising is an. asset to him. ;
; Many are beginning to realize that although they may put up many '
! logical arguments against this and that as Tar as a colored weekly i
■ u concerned, it cannot be denied, with the many disadvantages i
that make our way uphill most of the time, the merchant who j
ousts his lot with us reaps a benefit,
In the Inst place out readers are appreciative oi the aid- of,
those who help make it passible for them to have a newspaper
; w hich serves then? m their peculiar problems. These advertisers i
; are news within themselves. They are favorably discussed by our;
readers. There are other merchants, whom the townsmen, know j
hove reaped large financial benefits hum SEPIA S V *£AT, who arc j
conspicuous by their failure to place AD COPY with the people j
who help make their business profitable
Its high time we learn how to use our money discrimmately.
Spend with those "who show you in dollars and cents, that they ;
not only appreciate your patronage bur are also willing to help j
you make progress to the credit of the community as a whole.
Back to the theatres. The least they can do is to let their pa- j
irons see that their patronage is appreciated by advertising in their I
: patrons’ paper.
The CAROLINIAN reaches over 50,000 readers and when one ;
■ considers the fact that most of them go to the theatre, the trifle !
i management would spend to advertising would be a good invest- ;
' merit, which would include thd all important GOODWILL. Let’s j
! stop being gullible.
