The formal opening program of
the new
Palace
Theatre
will
beginMonday evening
at
8:30
o'clock,
and
at least
twelvehundred
will
attend,
as
that
is the
seating capacity
of
the new
theatre
and doubtless thehouse
will
be filled'to capacity withmanyturned away duringthecourse
of
theevening.
Only
one program
will
be conduct-
ed
Monday,
Manager
Cliff
C.Lind-sey
has stated.
..
.Senator
W.JL
Bledsoe, who for
tht»
past
sixteen
years
has
known
J.
D.Lindsoy,.owner of
th'e
new
Pal-
ace, and who
understands
the pro-
gre.ssiveness
back of thebuildingof
the new
playhouse, will deliver
the
dedication address. Few men enjoythe popularity that is enjoyed in
West
Texas
by
Senator
Bledsoe,
and
his appearance on the
program
at
theformal
opening
is
indeed
ap-propriate,and he
will
doubtless re-late many incidents connected withthe
Hfe
of owner Lindsey since hisearly acquaintance
with
him.
A
Palace
comedy will
be' shown
following
Senator Rlcdsoe's address,
in
which
thepoliciesof the new
theatre
will be depicted. .
This
too
will
be an enjoyed and interestingfeatureof the bigprogram.
A solo
with Mrs. Joe
Flaig,
well
known local
artist,
at
the
console,
will
be enjoyed.
J. Bert
Mitchell,
Jr.,
assisted
by
J. B.
Galland,
will
present
an
