A IM.AYHOISE.
Many persons will be interested to learn that a theatre will
probably be established at the county seat of Stokes at an early
date. The plans, though modest at the outset, as they should be.
are comprehensive. The building is intended to sent comfortably
210 people. The equipment will be modern, and the appoint
ments. though not luxurious, will be comfortable. The
latest type of projecting machine will be installed, and
the power and light will be furnished by an electric
plant. At least one night in the week a high class
picture will he shown. As patronage grows, the service will bo
extended. The promoters figure that the investment will afford
reasonable financial returns from the beginning.
The moving picture show is one of America's greatest institu
tions. High grade tilms may he interesting, amusing, inspiring.
They should be educational and uplifting. The idea that the
picture show in the country won't pay. is no longer true. Rural
iolk enjoy entertainment as much as city dwellers, and they are
entirely as willing and able to pay for it. Good roads make it pos
sible now for country people to get together as easily and quickly
i.lmost as their town cousins.
The svstem of good roads which is steadily beginning to en
circle the county seat of Stokes will make many things possible
which hitherto ha\e been considered impracticable. If the people
of Panhury. Peter's Creek and other sections can reach I)anbur.»
in 20 or :>0 minutes. spend an hour or so looking over the Pat he
News, for instance—seeing President Harding deliver a speech
three da>s before at Philadelphia—or look at a giant ocean
steamship leaving the dock at New ork city loaded with thou
sand* for Europe—or gaze spellbound on a regiment of
soldiers charging a mob at San Franciscv—or comprehend many
iind vivid sights in the great world that only occurred yesterday,
looking at the real life-size aspects of great things and people
just as they happened, right off the reel only two or three days
before—they are going to turn loose small pieces of coin for this
privilege, and don't you forget it. At the same time enjoy an
exciting or amusing serial or two.
The moving picture is one of the great inventions of the age.
i-nd one of the most useful, especially to rural districts where
the people need more recreation and change to relieve the mo
notony of farm life. It is healthful, inspiring, uplifting and edu
cational. Let the playhouse come on. It is needed. It will pay
dividends. All work and no play, make* Jack a sullen dissatisfied
boy: dull of intellect, and itching to leave home for the city.
Monotony, drudgery, too much sameness create in father and
mother and sister often a fever which leads to Moore. Amelia
;\nd Randolph, when a little entertainment on the side might keen
them contented citizens with us.
Give u* good roads. good schools, good churches, automobiles,
moving pictures and the other advantages and improvements.
rmu>ements and entertainments of the city, and there will be
no need of so much migration to town, and the movement back to
Ihe farm—which statesmen are working to create —will get
i nder way. * . .
