It is reported that Mr. Sutherland, who manages the Gode- rieh and Seaforth theatres, has pro- cured 'a building lot just across the street from The News -Record and has asked for figures on putting up a suitable .building. Clinton for years had a picture show, the offices now occupied by the Rural Hydro people being for years used as a picture theatre. Then a nice little theatre was fitted up In the Normandie, is still there, in fact, but it was not suitable for the talkies 'and was closed and since then citizens wishing to indulge ho such entertainment have had to drive to Goderich or Seaforth, and a number have been doing that snore or less regularly, This will not be necessasy if this project goes on.
