It is not marked out in any city plan; it is not merely a thoroughfare from one place to another. It is not a busy artery of commerce where man and beast, by sweat of brow, toil their heavy burdens to the market-place. It is not a boulevard where the pleasure-mad recklessly rush along in pursuit of vanishing rainbows. It is not an exclusive avenue, only to be coursed by the rich and powerful. It is not a winding road of deceit and disillusionment which leads only to misery and despair. It is, instead, a broad and open highway which bids cheery welcome to all mankind. It leads far away from the humdrum cares of daily life . It gladly receives the traveller, regardless of youth or age, power or poverty, position or obscurity and leads him o,n to fairy heights where the bitter world of reality is dispelled; where he may become an Alexander of conquest and win the heart of the story-book princess. The bright lights of welcome are never dimmed upon this Street; it is never barricaded against the hungry heart of humanity, yearning for inspiration and contentment. The portals of this Street are always ajar to bid a cordial greeting of good cheer to all who would travel its way. · · It is, indeed, the Street of Good Cheer, this highway whose waysides are banked with those havens of happiness the Motion Picture Theatres. · - MARTIN J .
