Flats and that’s the kind of high class
entertainment we have in store for
you. These photoplays are shown to
you long before Philadelphia, Pitts-
burgh, Altoona and Harrisburg, and
come from the best producers in the
entire picture world. Our attractions
are not mis-represented to you in any
way and when we brag or boast of a
banner production we certainly have
it. Of course from time to time we
are forced to raise an admission to
35¢c., but we find that our patrons do
not resent this when they see “a Bet-
ter Class Photoplay” such as you will
find on the screen at the Scenic. For
your approval we offer you the follow-
ing program and honestly say that
every photoplay has a star or two
