Kinograms, a national news reel
company, will have one of its photographers in Lexington on May 6 to
take pictures of the May Day festivities of the university, according to
Earl H. Payne, manager of the Kentucky theater.
Kentucky's May Day exercises are
known to the people of central Kentucky and each year hundreds of persons from surrounding towns, come to
Lexington to attend the ceremonies.
It is expected that the various
events on the program this year will
prove even more brilliant than those
of former years.
The presence of a news reel man at
the , ceremonies indicated that Kentucky's May Day is rapidly becoming
more than an affair of local importance.
