Thursday afternoon last .saw the
consummation of many months of
rumors' and negotiations When the
Strong Blocl-.on the East side of
Main 'street, Seaforth, was purchased,
and the section now occupied by
Macklain's Luach and the Seaforth
INe'ws office will be• converted into a
Modern talkie 'theatre,

mer owners of Ithe block, The -pur-

Block which is to be converted into 'a talkie theatre this suitircer..
of Georgetown and Acton, wholesale
and retail lumber dealers and builders.
They also specialise on rem'odellin'g

M'RSa JOHN MEREDITH.
Mrs. Catherine Merediith, widow of
the lute 'John Meredith, formerly of
Seaforth, lied in Port Huron on Sat-
urday and the reni'ains were laid to
rest in the 'Maitland B:an'.k Cemetery,
on Monday ,May 23rd, fallowing the
arrival of the noon train. Her passing
.occurred at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Wm. MclLeo'd, Part Huron, who
is the surviving member of the fam-
ily. . Wesley Wr ,Meredith, her son,
Who was a commercial (traveller, died
nearly twenty 'years ago and several
years later her husba'nld died.
ITlhe deceased who was 86 years of
age, was a daughter of the late Wm.
Mulvaney. Mr. and Mrs. Meredith
and two children cane to Seaforth
'from Msddleport near Brantford, and
Ur. Meredith was !farentan of the C.
N. IR. `secltiom west of towns. When a
change in the division of the section
was made Mr. 'Meredith' went- to
(Stratford where a .couple of years
later his death occurred, Mrs. Mere-
dith then resided" in 'Midd'leport an'd
IBranitford a short time before going
to Pont. Huron to -the (home of her
daughter, Mrs. Wm, ...McLeod, and
Mr. :McLeod, the latter being an uncle
of Mr. Malcolm McLeod 'o'f town.
Since
Christmas Mrs. 'Meredith. and
her daughlterhad' been both so d'll' as
to be unable to see each other.
T'he setvice at the graveside' was
conducted !b:y Rev. W. P. Lane' of
Northside tJndteed 'Church.' The pall-
bearers were Messrs. Oscar INen11,.'31.
M'dPhee, 'M, MeLeod, John Abel,
John Beattie, Wm. Freem'an.
Among those attending the funeral.
were Mr.' 'J'a'mes Creswell, of Brant-
ford, and three' daulghters: Mr. and
Mrs. Hutton, Brantford; Mr. and Mrs.
E. Shiel'drick, Torouto;,,IMr. and Mrs.
IF. Shel'drick, _H'agersvl+lle; Mrs. Wm.
Maclellan d, London; Wm. MclLeod,
Port Huron. The pa'llbe'arers were
,Messrs. '1.0'slcar., Neil, M. McPhee,. M.
McLeod, \Jloan Abell,] ,alq}lm pRrr ttie,
11Mm. Freeman.
(Ex'ten'ding out over the street, in
front, will be a large' canopy; large
false windows will replace the present
uip.stairs windows.
The heating and ventilating' plant
will be operated as one unit by a fan
system of the latest design.
(When the b'uildin'g is completed it
will be taken over by the theatre ope-
rator, Mr. H. J. Sutherland, and his
wife, Florence (Sutherland, who at
present operate the'. St. Marys and
IGo_derich talkie. theatres, and. also
own another theatre at Oobaurg which
is operated by haanous• Players. Mr.,
and Mrs. Sutherland will furnish the
theatre, such as .the decorating, prov-
iding - the seating (which • we under-
stand Will be in the neighborhood of
400 capacity); installing' the latest
type of •Northern Electric Sound Sys-
tem. The projection room will be at
the front .an'd the screen at .the back.
It is expected the work will be coon
Dieted in September, involving a cost
of considerably over $20,000.
The purchase ,price • of the block is
not announced, but we understand it
wigs not excessive. '
At the 1roitt• o'f the theatre; accord-
ing to the plans, there" will be a spa-
cious lobby in the centre. Against the
south' wall of the lobby at the front;
will 'be"a smallprivate office; .backof
that will be thte ticket office. Against'
the north •wall of the 'lolbby will be
the ladies' and -gentlemen's rest rooms.
The arli'ginal plan was to use the
old Bright store as a tolblby' and en-
trance, and .that the theatre would be
erected on, the vacant part of the lot
at the rear. 'The News was informed
this Spring by the builder that such
wins the intention, but since then the
,plan's have. been changed to secure
greater seating capacity.
1 '•,'falir idea df the wonders is brought of mo-
dern. construction methods
to the ordinary layman in an lender -
and may possibly operate the project-
ion. machine,
The 'theatre project has been con-
templated dor a year and a hall.
Shortly after the Broderick block
was destroyed by fire in December,
8930, Mr, Gerald Stewart interviewed
the Famous. Players in Toronto with
the idea of securing a theatre on the
site of the Broderick block, and since
that time negotiations have been car-
ried on from time to time.
The Strong Block ^ was erected
albout 1890. The south store was first
occupied by IJo'hn Ward, saddle mak-
er, and for about thirty years has
been the hone of The (Seaforth News.
The 'middle store first was occupied
as a restaurant by Jiames 'Stewart, fa-
ther of 'Messrs. Charles and (Harry
Stewart. Tlhe restaurant was purchas-
ed by Mr. Ostcar Neil, ,wtho, conducted
it for many years. Mr. Percy Mack -
lam purchased the business a year
ago this month. The north store was
always a clothing store until a couple
of years ago, having been occupied by.
(Greig & ,Stewart and later by Bright
!Bros, The late Alonzo Strong, .builder
of the block, is buried in Maitland -
bank cemetery. He lived in, the house
n•ow owned .and occupied by Mr. Ad-
am Hays and 'built the brick office be-
side the livery stable, and also con-
ducted a `b'a'kery in. -town. 'Mr. Strong
was mayor of Seaforth at one time
and was also police. nfagistrate.The
block has been owned by members of
the Case fancily for a great many
years. Case's H'a'll was a popular
gathering place for nvany events, sucli
as the Collegiate dances, ,plays, recitals
an'd so on, and was used by the Y.M.
,C.IA. tn'any years ago.
Ione Of the business 'place's' on the
site in the years before the block . was
built was the Morrison' grocery.
Who Needs the Sympathy ?
When asked the selling price of
the block the other day, the agent,
Mr. 'J. J. Haggard, declined to name
the, price stating that if published it
would "blow real estate values on
Main street to pieces" So one man's
guess is as good as . another's. How-
ever, as nearly as/can be ascertained,
ole of those queer quirks of the real
estate business has sold the entire
block' of three stores and property for
the same. price, or at most, a few hun-
dred
undre i dollars more than The News
offered for OUT one single store, which
is less than a third of the block.
Who. stint. say wihich' is morel in
need" of sympathy today—the owner
or' the , tenant. -, as .a result. of the
p'asls'ing up of ,an offer of ours -,a year
ago' to buy apr p'orti'on of the ;bllock.?

' BEGINNING MAY 28TH.
During the past year the balance wheel in your watch
has made 18,000 complete revolutions every hour, a
total of 15'7,680,000 revolutions 'during this past year.
1,f this wheel were rolled in one direction it would
:have ,travelled 4,000 miles. It has had less than 1 drop.
of oil at the beginning of the journey and none since.
When your car travels 1,000 miles making. 3;000,000.
revolutions, you give it a gallon of goad fr•eslf, oil
So you will readily see that 'when your 'watch nech=
