WORH OF THE -,
OXFORD WOMAN'S CLUB
(Communicated)
Pollyanna the delightful screen
picture shown at the Orpheum Thea
tre last week, under the auspices of
the Woman's Club, proved a great
success from every view point, and
the community owes these ladies a
vote of thanks for bringing this
high class picture to Oxford.
For some time the,Woman's Club
has been using i influence in a
quiet, unobt: ; .jive v;uy u promote
better, cleaner entertainments for
our young people.
Several months ago, Mrs. J. D.
Brooks, who was then president of
the Woman's Club, asked one of the
managers of the theatre to book
Pollyanna for June He replied that
it was such kn expensive picture they
could not afford it unless the Wo
man's Club would give them its sui
port and help with the advertising.
The support of the Club was pled
ged, with the understanding that 50
per cent of the net proceeds should
go to swell the Club treasury. Miss
Helen White kindly consented to
look after the advertising feature.
So thoroughly was this done that
nearly $70.00 was cleared, notwith
standing the fact that the actual
cost of bringing the picture to Oxford
was $132.50. This does not include
the expense of showing the picture,
which was borne entirely by the thea
tre. It is generally known that the Wo
man's Club has pledged $500.00 to
ward the children's play ground and
supports an Armenian orphan besides
maintaining a public library and oth
er benevolences.
The Club is to be commended for
adding to. its exchequer in a way that
sets such high ideals before the peo
ple. In this connection a word of appre
ciation should be expressed for the
spirit of cooperation shown bv the
managers of the Orppheum theatre.
They are at all times ready to help
along a good cause, and it is their ex
prest desire always to book good,
clean pictures. It is true that films
are sometimes sent them which they
do not approve, and this is the fault
of the state sensorship.
The public should begin to realize
that the broadminded, public spirit
ed people of Oxford are united in
their efforts for the common good
of all, and they say to the "knock
ers, 'Come, go with us, and we
will do you good."
