No Nigger Show.
It has been circulated that the
moving picture show now being
operated in my building on Depot
Street would be turned into a nig
ger show, another one- for the
white people to -be opened on
Main Street. Now I want to as
sure the many who have approach
ed me as to this that there will
positively be a moving picture
! show conducted in the same build
ing if it is vacated by the present
renters and it will not be a nigger
show, either.
I have been greatly pleased
Hth the patronage which this
show has enjoyed and if it is ne
cessary for a change Fas'sure' you
that the same high standard will
be kept up. .Yours truly,
D. M. Andrews.
