Put say that don't ound funny We'll move to town. And lie around, And spend about all our money And when St. Pete sa vs. in! You sure have done your duly' That mansion fair, We'll have up there, Will surely be a beauty. By Elizabeth Jackson ian, Idaho. There are approximately 1 motion picture theaters iu United States.
