Blankenship Chain<br />

Holds Xmas Parlies<br />

LtTBBOCK, TEX. — The personnel of 14<br />

Wallace Blankenship Theatres In nine towns<br />

of this area celebrated pre-Chrlstmas week<br />

with traditional enthusiasm. Blankenship<br />

touched off the celebration by mailing bonus<br />

checks to all employes to start the week. The<br />

checks amounted to one week's salary for<br />

each year of service up to three years with<br />

the circuit. All received something.<br />

In most of the towns, parties were arranged.<br />

At Levelland, where L. E. Webb is<br />

manager, the personnel of the Wallace, Rose<br />

and Old Rose exchanged gifts and ate fried<br />

chicken. At Tahoka, where L. P. Flood is<br />

manager, employes of the Wallace, Rose and<br />

Lynn held a Chirstmas tree party.<br />

The climax of the observance on Christmas<br />

eve was a free morning matinee in all towns<br />

for the kids.<br />

These were conducted under joint sponsorship<br />

with some local organization—a luncheon<br />

club, church group or r>atriotic order.<br />

Children who could were asked to bring a toy<br />

or can of food for distribution to the needy.<br />

Blankenship Theatres are in Ralls, Lorenzo.<br />

Andrews, Tahoka, Petersburg, Sundown, Levelland.<br />

Seagraves and Morton. Headquarters<br />

are in Lubbock, with S. J. Neyland the office<br />

manager.<br />
