No lessened cost of operation or production has favored US.

Yet I believe WE MUST GET BACK TO NORMALCY IN THEATRE PRICES. Someone must make the first move. I propose to be that SOMEONE and the CITY WILL BE FORT WAYNE. As a result of my determination you will this week be afforded the BIGGEST BARGAIN in THE AMERICAN AMUSEMENTS. A.
