"Princess" People at Texico.
Letters were received here today from Pearcy & Fack, who have been running the Princess theatre in Roswell and who left Sunday morning without telling their friends goodbye. In one of their letters they stated that they had been to great expense here and had not done enough business to justify it and simply had to close down. The letters came from Texico and stated that they expected to open a moving picture show there, where they hoped to do better. It is hoped by several that they will do unusually well at Texico and remember who befriended them here.
