enterprise are greatly encouraged and as they intimated some weeks ago were ready to pro ceed with the undertaking provid ed the people backed them for at least 500 it is the intention of the schmidts to purchase the old auditorium theatre and build the picture house on the ground floor the plans involve the removal of the present upper floor building a cement floor on the ground where the pool room and bowling alloys are now operated every attention will he given to sound effect and the sweeping high ceiling will add materially to this retiring rooms for ladie3 and men with spacious entrance or rotunda will be provided it is estimated that at least a month will be required for the con tractor to make the necessary changes hence even if the canvass ing for funds is completed this
