AT SINCERE'S

ROOF GARDEN 10 GALA DAYS

From Saturday, December 15th, 1934.

Once again, Santa Claus arrives and is enthroned at the Santaland. For years this Santaland has been a place of popular resort for Christmas joy and cheers; this year our arrangement is even greater and more interesting than before. Santa has brought with him a Model Mechanical Man who can speak and answer to any question put to him. Children may tell him their Christmas wishes and be assured of his promises. A picturesque scene from "Mickey Mouse in Giantland" will create a new sensation of Christmas fun. To add to the amusements and thrills of the visitors, a company of some 20 boy and girl artists will perform acrobatic shows. Come and share the funs. Santa is awaiting to see you. To every visitor, Santa will give a packet of Mickey Mouse Bubble Gum.

Mickey Mouse Bubble Gam Blowing Competition held here. $100 worth prizes

Santaland open daily from 10 am.

10 p.m. till Christmas eve. ADMISSION 10 CENTS ONLY.
