100 Years Ago – July 30, 1920

Frank and Calvin Jones, from Coleman, this week bought the New Queen Theatre from W.W. Benson and have taken charge of same. You will notice that elsewhere in this issue we publish a nice ad for them giving their program for next week. They say that they believe in keeping the people informed about their show thru advertising in the paper, and that they will publish their programs each week. One of them has gone to Dallas this week to buy a better lighting outfit so they can improve their pictures. The Enterprise hopes they run a good show and get a good business.
