Mr. Wm. [William] Smith
Douglass Theatre
Macon, Ga. [Georgia] 
Dear William --

I am reissuring [reissuing] "THE SPIDERS WEB", the Oscar Micheaux production that was such a hit a few years back.

You know that populations are forever changing and new people are constantly coming the city and I feel that you will be justified in playing this picture a return engagement, even if you have already played it in the past.

Should you wish to play it, please write me right back stating the date desired, so that I may fill it for you. You see I am booking this picture very successfully on account of the big hit that Evelyn Preer is making with Famous-Players.

I have slides II/I4 photos, four-color block ones and three sheets.

Tell Mr. Douglass that I have found him two low-in-tensity [intensity] ark [arc] lights, the two to cost about $I20.00 [120.00] . If he hasnt purchased any, he can let me know what to do about these.

I am quoting you "Spider's Web" for one day $I7.50 [17.50] or two days $20.00.


With best wishes, 
I am very truly yours,
