Brown, Cor. Sec. You will want to see LORNA DOONE, December 17, 18 and 19, at the LINCOLN THEATRE. It is an old and thrilling story of the days when "Might was Right." You read it perhaps long ago; not many are reading it today; there is so little time to give to the old books, classics of their type, so we are glad to get them in the tabloid form of the pictures. This is one of the educational values of the entertainment film, and even if it sometimes de tours a little from the original story, forgive them the license taken because of the artistic merit of its production. You may not realize it, but you are encouraging the production of FINE pictures. (I like the word better than "GOOD"), and I like to know that we are getting weekly the best that is on the market. Truly yours Mary Church Terrell Chairman. Better Pictures Committee, Public Service Department. LINCOLN THEATRE. At the LINCOLN THEATRE November 19-20-21-22 will be shown the most stupendous, spectacular historical drama that has ever been produced. --NERO-- Since seeing it, I feel that I not only can conscientiously recommend it to you, but it is my duty to urge you to see this. It has great historical value and was produced in Rome the true setting of the story. I shall appreciate hearing from you. Do you find this service of value to you? Truly yours Mary Church Terrell Chairman, Better Pictures Committee Public Service Department LINCOLN THEATRE.

I am positive you will find "Oliver Twist" perfect entertainment. Cordially yours, Mary Church Terrell Director, Public Service and Educational Department, LINCOLN THEATER. At the LINCOLN THEATRE, December 3-4-5, we have Rupert Hughes' charming story, "REMEMBERANCE." Tears, smiles and thrills with a personal appeal to each one individually. It does not seem quite fair to me not to mention the comedy too-- we all enjoy a good laugh and are always sure of it with a BUSTER KEATON-- we have him this week in "THE PALE FACE." I hope you are seeing all the splendid pictures that we are fortunate in having this season. Everytime you go you have the satisfaction of knowing you are doing your part in supporting the "Better Pictures" which are now coming out in answer to the demand we have made for years.
