    1. [MORANDOL-L] Rankin & Solberg Gem theatre--Higbee News
    2. Mike & Kathy Bowlin
    3. 18 Aug 1911--Messrs. Rankin & Solbert inform us that the price of admission to the Gem on Saturday nights from now on will be ten cents for adults and five cents for children. While the price has been raised, an extra 1000-foot reel will be given. No one can blame the boys for raising prices, for so far they have barely broke even, and some weeks have come out in the hole. They want, if possible, to keep the Gem open six nights in the week, and think they can do so by the raise in price for the Saturday night show. This is a worthy enterprise--clean, instructive and entertaining--and deserving of a much better patronage than it is receiving. Do the right thing by the Gem and its enterprising proprietors and turn out oftener than you have been doing. You will see only the best pictures money can buy. Kathy
