Both the Cushing Citizen and Cush-
ing Independent assure us in effect,
tbat a protocol has been signed, an
armistice declared and an era of arm-
ed peace established among the oil
town's boosters. Jack Hyde's stunt
of peacemaker has been so notable in
this instance that he is now and

in the matter as ilirt pi cits own
ing the lots desired to obtain On
next two lots to the corner lots thus
giving frontage on Harrison Ave., .'.ml
sufficient depth on Mosen eireot to
accommodate the building.
By recent deal', which wo .mdei
stand has been consumated, Air. R
C. Jones has become the owner of
the desired lots being 9 and 10 block
48. By this deal It becomcs posslbl
to arrange the frontage aa desire
It also makes it possible for Messrs
Street and McCall to obtain a long-
er and consequently much more ad
vantageous lease and also a location
Broadway, a theatre therefore
will be located on the south 70 feet
of lots 9-10-11 and 12 being the cor-
ner of Harrison and the alley immed-
iately north of the gas building.
This change in lease and location
has induced Messrs. Street and Mc-
Call to change their original plans
and erect a much more pretentious
building the cost of which will be
more than double that of the build-
ing originally planned. The new
theatre will, therefore be not only a
summer theatre but will also be us
ed during the winter season. This
new building will enable Manager
McCall to secure even a better class
of entertainment than he has here-
to fore been able to secure as it will
place him in a circuit with such cit
tes as Muskogee, Tulsa, Bartlesville
Oklahoma City, etc.
Lovers of theatrical entertainment
will be made glad by ths news.
Cushing has always been a good
show town and with these added fa
cilites t will become a better one.
The buldng will be quite an addition
to the fine ones already on Harris-
on Avenue.
