WISHES TO ALL FOR Again it is the privilege an? the pleasure to extend to the motion picture and theatrical world our felicitations and. good will as another New Year approaches. With unrest in Europe affecting the conditions in America and retarding the speedy return of Prosperity, there are some people who are disposed to look out upon affairs.in the United States through "blue" glasses. And yet those who poissess clearness of vision are able to detect.unequivocal signs that the clouds of uncertainty in business are lifting—^that Prosperity is returning—that the business of purveying to public amusement—even as all other lines of Enterprise—is lifting up its head— that the dark days will be over—that the spirit of Optimism prevails. . There are unmistakable signs in the air which lead one to believe that ultimately Prosperity wtll eventually regain its health. Better pictures are coming. We have had many illustrations ;of t)iat fact in the yedr coming to an end. More are still in sight. Vaudeville acts are being constcucted to give the keenest pleasure to lovers of this form of amusement and theatricals in general ar6' becoming more satisfactory^ ^T^Ws '•^■.■ : ,«■-•, .. This has made necessary Wew buildings and the extensive programs of the Stanley Company may be Qited as concrete evidence of faith in the better times to come, for it has started this year, to becompleted next year, new theatre operations which include both motion picture and vaudeville houses at a cost of Ten Million dollars. And such a program is also a boost for Pros- perity, for it gives employment to rtiany whose Christmas otherwise would have been sorrowful and filled with want. . t. .- V -' ./ ?: Let us put our shoulders to the wheel and push the wagon of Prosperity out of the slough. Have confidence in the- good things to come in 1923, work unceasingly to make it the best, biggest and njpst remunerative in the history of the amusement industry. '.,;■?;• "' ■ .
