No previous an nouncement Had bejpY'fnadc that the theatre would close and this action on the part of Mr. Sims came as quite a surprise to patrons of the house. It is understood that Mr. Sims' decision to close was duey to poor receipts sinJe the closing of all public places in Barnwell during the recent flu epi demic. as previous to tha* time good crowds attended the picture shows al most every night, while road shows played to capacity houses. The theatre bujlditUL-is- owned by Miv M. C.

It is 'to be hopbd. however, that ar rangements can be made to re q>en the theatre at an early date.
