l\[^ovr that we draw to the ciose of another year, we again wish to
express our appreciation for your past patronage. We are grateful and
we thank you.
We feel that during the coming year the quality of the entertain
ment we offer will merit a continuation of your patronage. In our
selection of pictures for this coming year we will present fewer lower
bracket pictures and more grade “A” pictures than we have shown
before.
We are happy to announce the acquisition of the product of Inter
national Pictures, a newly organized producer of distinction. Composed
of men long in the experience of making pictures, this organization will
produce only pictures of outstanding merit using actors and actresses
only that rank high in stardom.
We are also fortunate in having the product of the studio that pro
duced the greatest number of outstanding pictures during 1944. This,
with the elimination of pictures of less distinction, assures our patrons
of consistently better entertainment for the year of 1945.
Thank you again for
your past patronage
.... and now may we
wish you a ....

and a Happy New Year
