Record. Evidently she based her o-pijiion o-pijiion on reading the book or w6uld have had to travel to tj George or some other cily ihi order to have seen the picture. have missed playing the past year will ha played but later than we usually play them. We woud also like to state that we have refused to purchase pur-chase and play many oversexed over-sexed and cheaply made "15" movies and can name them by the dozens. Rather than do so, we have brought back the better pictures and top gros-sers gros-sers for return showing.

What movies the public won't or don't see in our theatres they will have the chance to see on TV at a later date. The Yergensen Bros. By: Elden J. Yergensen |
