Apia, Feb. 14.
A FEW years ago Apia could boast of two picture theatres. Competition and the depression, however, brought about the ruin and liquidation of both enterprises, and for the last year, Apia has had no moving pictures, silent or “talkies.”
A new picture-show company has now been formed in Samoa through the enter prise of Mr. E. Paul (director of the Gold Star Transportation Co.). This new com pany has taken over the assets of the late Tifaga Playhouse Co. (in liquidation), and will instal up-to-date “talkie” equip ment. The new establishment will pro bably be opened at Easter.
