This he feels he could not do with any degree of profit, and rather than conduct a business that was mediocre and not Inclusive of as many special features as those given by his competitors, he leaves the business entirely on the strength of his firm conviction that the city will not patronize profitably three vaude ville and special feature houses. He leaves the business with regret, and he has formed many friends In his line of work during a year's stay In La Grande, because of his constant at tempt and success in presenting clean, attractive and Interesting moving pic tures.
