——There are many reasons why you
should be a regular patron of the Scenic
but one of themost forceful is that if you
miss one night you are almost sure to
miss some good pictures. That is be-
cause every evening's program is new
and different from every other evening.
No picture shown twice. If there is an
exceptionally geod one this evening you
will have to be there to see it, as it will
not be shown tomorrow evening. That
is the reason you should attend every
night. If you don’t you are sure to miss
something good, and perhaps the very
picture you have long wanted to see. And
the price of admission is a mere baga-
telle, only five cents each evening. If
you don't attend regularly try it awhile
and see how you like it.
