Southern Notes
By CHARLES SIMPSON
AFTER spending about $2,000 improving and renovating the Dixie Theatre, Leeds, Alabama, Manager C. E. Howard reopened it recently with "In the Days of Buffalo Bill," as the feature attraction.
FJ. McCONNELL, Manager of # Short Subjects of Universal Pictures Corporation, was in Atlanta, Georgia, during the past week in conference with Exchange Manager R. B. Williams and the salesmen traveling out of the Atlanta Office.
THE management of the Lyric Theatre, Anniston, Alabama, was recently taken over by H. M. Lyons of Durham, North Carolina.
THE Pastime Theatre, Leeds, Alabama, has been purchased by R. P. Higginbothan. Mr. Higginbothan is a newcomer in the motion picture business, this being his first venture.
CT. JORDAN, who holds down the short subject desk in Universal 's Atlanta office, is being kept pretty busy right now explaining the why and wherefore of a certain business transaction he pulled a few days ago.
Mr. Jordan, who is widely known among exhibitors in the South as "Shag," carries pretty heavy life insurance. Recently he received a notice from his company stating that a dividend of $1.37 accruing on his policy had been placed to his credit. "Shag" read the notice very carefully, "cussed" the company for increasing his rate, and mailed them a check for $1.37. Wouldn't he be an ideal stockholder in a company?
JL. GOODENOUGH, of Greenville, S. C, has just about completed his new theatre, the Branwood, and expects to open it in the very near future. The house will cost $35,000, and be devoted exclusively to pictures.
New Theatre Addition
The Arcade, a 340-seat house, is the newest theatre addition to the town of Bramwell, W. Va. Lighting fixtures are unique.
Installs $15,000 Organ
The Stanford Theatre, at Palo Alto, Calif., has installed a $15,000 organ.
Extensive Improvements
The Alta Theatre, San Francisco, is making extensive improvements, including the installation of an organ.
