Rep Lack Of Patronage May Result In Closing Of Theatre Julian "Little Man" Brough ton, manager of the State Thea ter, stated to this reporter this week that if residents of this county don't begin attending the movies here, the county stands a good chance of seeing the doors of the theater closed again and the marque dark. Local sup port from the public must pick up. Attendance has rot been ade quate now for some time and the theater cannot operate with the small attendance in the past months. The management has endeavored to secure and show the newest and best pictures possible for the local movie go ers and entertainment for the residents of the county, as well as those persons traveling through. The State Theater was closed in November of 1959 due to the lack of support from the pub lie. At that time residents here rallied and expressed a desire to see the theater re-opened and it was opened again in March of 1960. It is hoped that the local resi dents will realize that the thea ter needs support and that some arrangements can be made whereby the theater will not again be closed. So, if your theater is to stay open, you must go see the pic 'ures here first and often. If each person in the county would attend the movie once i week, or even twice monthly there's a very good chance that vour State Theater will con tinue operation, and show the best pictures as has been their policy since the great demand for. re-opening, its doors was made.
