Mr. Stanley Schwahn
Manager, Commonwealth Theaters
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Stan:

Thank you for the dividend check for $315.00. -I assure you
that we were very happy to receive the same. It may be a cooler day
when we get the next one, but as I stated to you I still believe that :
people will take the picture shows as part of their weekly menu.

I was glad to get Donnie Currant's and Johnnie Larned's
names so that I could put through a voucher for their fine work. We
are paying them $4.00 apiece and I assure you I think they are worth it.

We were glad to get fifty pounds of pop corn instead of forty
so that you would have a little extra on hand and we were happy to get
the extra seasoning on account of your kindly cooperation. We are en-
deavoring, at the present time, to get another batch of seasoning for
you and hope to have it in a short while.

Z, too, would be delighted Ae 1% were possible to work the
theaters into our entertainment progfam. I think it would be a grand
thing.

I want to thank you for your kindly cooperation regarding

the very fine gift to the Lawrence Country Club. In the next day or so
I am preparing a letter which will take care of that situation, I hope,
so far as your boss is concerned. I am very sure that a gift of this
sort will have its justifiable returns. The roster of the Cowmtry Club
is unique in that it contains most of the names of key men in the con=
munity. It is swell of you to do this and I assure you that I person-
ally appreciate it. :

With kindest personal regards, I am

Sincerely yours,

}
