Christmas will be a time of hao- piness and good cheer for most of us. But what about the poor in mates of the County Home ? With an appropriation of $10.00 each per month- for food, heat, bedding, and other necessities of life, what chance' have these unfortunates for any real Christmas joys? Mr, Lyle, manager of the Macon Theatre, has announced thSt 'his th'cv atre will , do its bit ' towards making the season happier for these people. He states that he will devote 30 per cent (practically one-third) of the gross receipts from his shows of Wednesday and Thursday, Dec. 10-11, to buying "Christmas Goodies" (fruits. candies, nuts, cakes) for the inmates of the County Home. The amount of this fund so gene rously offered by. th? Macon -.Tfiitre will, of course, depend entirely unon the patronage accorded the two shows set aside for this purpose. The dates are Wednesday and Thursday, Decem ber 10th and 11th. Thirty cents out of every dollar taken in at the box office these two nights will be used for the County Home poor. You -can do your bit by attending the show one of these nights. Do more than that; make a gala night of it, and bring the entire family. Mr. Lyle states that he has secured benefit shows. The feature is a umbia production entitled "SISTERS," starring Sally O'Neil and Molly O'Day. who are .sisters in real life. "STSTF.RS" is a sympathetic portray al of sisterly love and devotion, with smiles, tecars and thrills subtly blend ed into one of the most delightful comedy dramas of the season. It is a picture that the entire family ' will thoroughly enjoy. 'In addition to the feature picture there will also be an excruciatingly funny "Our Ganc" talk ing comedy entitled "LOVE BUSI NESS.
