A Word from the Movie The management of tbe amalgamated moving picture bouses have closed the theatre for three nights each week, only giving productions on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenjngs. The high cost of film service and tfifr-**-teduced ' dance have necessitated tbis the theatre having lost . ' during the past few weeks gt;*.; n . s six nights a week service. If the attendance three nights ou: of the week does not insure,sufficieut returns to meet expenses, with a small margin of profit, the price of admission will be raised from. 15c to 25c. The management thoroughly recognizes the futility of conducting the theatre at a loss and', while willing to cater to the public demand for wholsesome amusement so long as- they break even in the game, do not propose to do so at a financial loss. The public is assured of the very best film service obtainable, and it is up to the public to show by their patronage if they want the present prices to continue. B. W. Paddock and Dr. Thos. Floumay, of Pittsfield, Mass., left here Wednesday morning uuder the guidance of Jas. Simpson and staff for a two weeks' big game hunt ini the Rockies.
