cant for the past few years. This gen

the old Dixie Theatre has now been
christened the “Sandhills Little Thea

“Being now located In Aberdeen
■serves to emphasise the fact that
the Little Theatre is a Sandhills, not
a Southern Pines organization," said
Mrs. Mgar Chapman, founder of the
group. “Although started in South,
ern Pines by Southern Pines talent
and capital, we are constantly trying
to make it more and more a Sand
hills group. We appreciate the way
Southern Pines has supported us and
We hope that it will continue to do
so, but we also want support and
assistance from the other commun
ities in this section.”
