Swanson-Nolan Incorporate in Denver LOCAL MANAGER J. J. MORGAN announces a change in the name of the theatre supply business at 1514-18 Welton street, Denver, Col., until recently known as The Theatre Supply Company.

Smith, and temporary headquarters have been established at 423 South Fifteenth street in Omaha, in charge of O. B. Olson.

WEBBER, owner of the Webber theatre, one of Denver's finest suburban picture houses, probably saved his own life a few nights ago, when he answered the command of a young bandit to hold up his hands by firing two shots from his revolver, one of which wounded the robber to the extent that he himself surrendered. Incidentally, the wounded bandit is one of a pair of holdups wanted for several robberies and a recent murder. Webber's victim is now in the hospital.
