Manager Long's announcement that the Colonial Theatre is to sponsor a Mickey Mouse Club has created wide spread interest among boys and girls of this city. Manager Long is already besieged by a small army of youngsters wanting to know all about the Mickey Mouse club, what it is, what it means to, and for the boys and girls who join, etc. etc.
Manager Long is doing his best to give the little folks as much of an insight into the club as he can at this advanced date, but is urging them all to watch the columns of this newspaper and follow the details as published from time to time.
In the meantime, however, every boy and girl who is interested, should visit the Colonial Theatre, or official Mickey Mouse Stores, where they will be supplied with Mickey Mouse Club application forms at no cost whatsoever to them. Being a member of the Colonial-Tribune Mickey Mouse Club will be a distinction, and more than that, an open sesame for boys and girls into a veritable treasure trove of good times and gladsome surprises and big treats.
The Mickey Mouse Club idea was suggested by the Mickey Mouse cartoons in sound and down in Ocean Park, Calif., where the club was conceived and in many cities, not only in California, but in other states, thousands of youngsters are being made happy and better little citizens because of the Mickey Mouse Club.
When the full details become known, not only the boys and girls, but their parents will be delighted that Manager Long has arranged for the launching of a Mickey Mouse Club through the Colonial Theatre. Just wait and see!

"Dad, you know everything!--What's a Mickey Mouse Club?" This question in this or some other form, has been asked in more than one home in this city during the past few days.
For youngsters, throughout the community, are intensely interested in the announcement of Manager J. G. Long of the Colonial Theatre that he has arranged for the launching of a Mickey Mouse Club here.

The first Mickey Mouse Club matinee-meeting, under the sponsorship of the Colonial Theatre is scheduled for Saturday, April 23, and at that time all boys and girls who file membership application blanks properly filled out, will be given official Mickey Mouse Club Membership Card Buttons.
And a membership card and a membership button in the Mickey Mouse Club will mean something for, and to a youngster, Manager Long adds.
"I can't reveal all the plans in mind and in the making for Mickey Mouse Club members just yet--but when the club has been launched, the members will learn what fun is in store for them," said Manager Long to a representative of the newspaper this morning. "I have been watching the activities of the Mickey Mouse Club in Ocean Park, Calif., the first one to be formed in the United States, and I've been following the doings of other Mickey Mouse Clubs, so believing no other city has finer boys and girls than Bay City, I determined they should have the advantages and privileges of memberships in the Mickey Mouse Club, and so we're about to launch one here."

Manager Long of the Colonial Theatre reports a rush of youngsters to join the Mickey Mouse Club about to be launched by that theatre and co-operating stores among which membership application blanks have been distributed.
"The Mickey Mouse Club, suggested by the Mickey Mouse cartoons in sound, is one with a very definite purpose" explains Mr. Long. "For instance here is the creed of the Mickey Mouse Club:
"I will be a square shooter in my home, in school, on the playground, and wherever I may be. I will be truthful and honorable, and strive, always, to make myself a better and more useful little citizen. I will respect my elders and help the aged, the helpless and children smaller than myself. In short I will be a good American."
"For the information of adults, particularly parents, I might add that the Mickey Mouse Club has its own officers and ritual and the formal ceremonies, which will be a part of every matinee-meeting, and all other activities of the club will seek to implant the principles embodied in the creed.
"With patriotic and citizen-making phases, the Mickey Mouse Club provides good clean fun and entertainment for its members--lots of fun in the form of inspiring and educational pictures and stunts, contests, tryouts, etc.
"We will be glad to furnish any information desired, not only to the kiddies, but the grownups and we are sure the Mickey Mouse Club will be as big a movement here as it has been elsewhere, in fact, wherever it is launched."

Next Saturday's going to be a red-letter day for the boys and girls of this city.
The Colonial Theatre will at ten o'clock next Saturday, start the Mickey Mouse Club on its way and from what Manager Long of the Colonial Theatre has told about the Mickey Mouse Club, it is a certainty this is going to be a mighty popular organization among youngsters.
It will be popular for many reasons. One is that it will provide lots of good times for them, a matinee-meeting every Saturday, with a special, all-different show arranged just for them.
It will be popular also because it is a club for the boys and girls with officers and rituals of its own. The boys and girls who belong to it, name their own officers and conduct the formal portions of the meetings.
It will be popular, also, because membership in it will mean advantages and privileges for the boys and girls who have joined.
Membership application blanks are now available at any one of the following official Mickey Mouse Stores: The Matagorda Tribune, Bay City Bank & Trust Co., Matagorda Pharmacy, Taylor Brothers, Bachman's, Inc., J. C. Penney, Coca-Cola Bottling Works, Anderson-Rugeley Motor Co., W. F. Tetts, Jeweler.
