ROTARY AND NORMAN
Rotary again will show its interest in the promotion
of education and the city of Norman tonight when it
sponsors a minstrel in the I niversity auditorium.
The-members of Rotary have put in days of hard
work to make the minstrel a success. It is no selfish
affair, but one designed and promoted to boost Norman
and the University of Oklahoma before people who can
send hundreds more students to Norman to attend school.
Rotary has realized the opportunity and made the
best of it. They saw the possibility of devoting.a little
effort to obtaining means to take a glee club and other
performers to their district convention at Joplin April
19 and 20.
Rotarians from three states will attend this conven-
tion. Each town w ill put on a special "stunt." Norman
expecs to lead the bunch. With the aid of the university
students, who have worked faithfully they will take a
live bunch of Joplin, along with 1,500 pamphlets telling
of The University City.
Rotarians w ill be gratified with the results tonight.
Norman and the university will rise to acknowledge the
service.
Rotary has done much for Norman. In this, the
minstrel, it will receive encouragement and means to do
more.
The auditorium should be filled to capacity tonight.
If you haven't bought your ticket—go anyway. You
can get one there.

THE LIBERTY
To announce to the people of Norman and surrounding country the
joyous news of the installation of a new $5000 pipe organ, and also
the acquisition of some of the greatest photoplays that have ever
been made. ^
has long been the undisputed opinion of our patrons that the programs of the
Liberty are the longest, most entertaining to all classes, and the most accessable to the
average person's pocket book. And now we come forward with the announcement that
we have closed deals for the greatest pictures in filmdom, and will in the future present
all of our productions with proper musical settings. Furthermore, it is our intention to
maintain our customary prices for our entertainments. If you are not already a regular
Liberty patron twenty cents will start you today.

"THE DARE-DEVIL"
It's Tom Mix at his best in his own conception of a
western thriller. It starts with a sensation, it ends with
a bigger one. He leaps from the top of a fast moving
train to tell tale ropes. He shoots four revolvers at
the same time he thrills the movie wise and know-it-
alls. But listen * * * if you have a weak heart don't
see Tom Mix in "The Daredevil."
**S nAE*D*viL-WILLIAM FOX PKJDBCTIOI*
But by all means see the Fox News, the Mightest of
all the news reels.
Mack Ser.i.et side splitting comedy will literally make
you rock with laughter.
And last but not least don't fail to see Chapter 14 of
"The Trail of the Octopus." Regular prices \yill prevail.
Beginning at seven o'clock to-night our new Cremona theatre orchestra organ will be
played for the first time. This is an instrument built especially for use in the theatre.
* In every way it is equipped to produce music which is of the quality and variety necessary
in modern high class moving picture houses. It contains all of the effects for properly
Cueing the pictures.
Every mna, woman and child wishing to be treated to the
best photoplay and musical ente tainment every presented in Nor-
man are earnestly requseted to come early.
