    SCENIC
THEATRE
HOME OF BELLEFONTE'S
GREATEST PHOTOPLAYS
The Scenic, beginning next
week, presents an entirely new
to
become effective on completion
of the New State Theatre. It
will give a good show at a re-
program planned long ago,
duced rate to conform to all
pocketbooks and wishes. A line
of good features, with extras
not at 25 and
but 10 and 15 cent, where they
35 cent prices,
properly belong.

We have been compelled to
ask higher prices for the super-
ior shows we have been giving
the people because the costs and
requirements demanded it and
now that we will have a splendid
new Theatre in which to run
these shows the people will get
the regular entertainment they |
have been having at the proper
prices so as to fit every need.
With nightly change of show
consisting of Feature, Comedy
and Single Reels all for fifteen
cents we feel sure the movie pa-
trons will be highly pleased at
