3 MARATHON PRODUCTS "Best in the Long Run" The Ohio Oil Company Dear Friend of the Civic Theatre: For years many of us have dreamed of the AACT owning its own theatre building. While this remains pretty much in the dream stage, recent facts show that such a venture is completely possible. We hope that you will be hearing more of this very soon. Expansion and growth of a group such as ours can only occur through public support of our major productions. We ask lor no more. However in asking for this support we would like to carry it one step further by inviting you to become a salesman for us. It's easy- here's all you have to dotell your friends about us. Especially do we hope that Thursday and Friday night audiences will tell their friends and encourage them to see the current production on one of the remaining nights. In closing let me remind you about our annual Oscar Award banquet to be held in May. This is the climax of our season, and is open to all of our friends and guests. You will hear more of this later and we hope that many of you will plan to attend. Sincerely yours, KENNETH MacDONALD President BLUE FRONT CIGAR STORE OPEN 7:30A.M. TO 11 :30 P.M.
