1923 - Free Picture Show - AT GULGONG.
We draw the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Messrs. Jas. Loneragan (Gulgong) Co. announcing a special free picture film display, in the Lyric Theatre, Gulgong, on Monday night next, to which all are invited. We feel sure this will be largely attended, not only because it is a complimentary evening, but because of the interesting nature of the film being shown, and for the further fact that a programme of attractive Autorola music will be provided during the performance.
An entertainment such as this is something entirely new in business, and is further evidence of the progressiveness of Messrs. Loneragan, whose policy is to keep up to date and abreast with the times. It is no wonder this company does such a large business far and wide in the surrounding districts. Don't forget Monday night.
