Yol. 1* No* 14 October 6, 1944 "HII NEIGHBORS" And with this cheerie greeting the new Huntridge Theatre opens its dooi*s next Tuesday evening to welcome you and me into one of the most beautiful theatres in the nation. As you walk in and glance around, don’t oe sur­prised if you pinch yourself and ask, "Is this really true, or am I in the wrong town?" But it is true and to Tom Oakey, A. J. "Simmy" Simmons, Ira Goldring, Dick 0‘Hoar, and the other guys and gals who helped make this "dream dome true" we say "CONGRATULATIONS! AMD GOOD LUCKS-" The original plans for a very gala opening had to be canoelled because of transportation difficulties. General admission prices will be charged and the pro­ceeds will go to the Clark County Community and War Chest Fund. • "NIGHT LIFE!" A vest pocket guide to tell us all "what*s cooking in the town tonight" will soon be available for free distribution. Mrs. Norcadean Buckner is the very enterprising young lady responsible for this idea and we agree with her that it is a good one. Watch for your first copy of "NIGHT LIFE IN GAY LAS VEGAS." LAST MEETING - Those who attended the meeting this week know a lot more about the history of Nevada and how its boundaries were created than they did be­fore, HUgh Shamberger delved deep into the history book and came out with some very interesting data — and a few skeletons.
