From The Winchester (KY) News:
"Messrs. BLOOMFIELD and RATLIFF, proprietors of the Auditorium theater, have made arrangements with a candy factory to send them several hundred boxes of choice candy to be given away to the children at the Saturday afternoon matinee . . . which will begin promptly at 2:30 o'clock . . ."-p. 3.
In an advertisement in the same issue: "The Auditorium, Incorporatred. The only continuous Show House in the City. One performance nightly at 8 o'clock except Saturday when there are two. Shows change Monday, Wednesday, and Friday Nights. Two reels of moving pictures changed every night. Monday and Tuesday Nights, October 17 and 18, Joe KENNEDY, Champion Trick Skater, Alreno and Rialto, Novelty Singing and Acrodatics (sic), Matinee Saturday Afternoon 2:30. Admission 10 cents to all parts of the house. No Reserved Seats. BLOOMFIELD & RATLIFF, Proprietors."--18 OCT 1910, p. 5.
In issues of the paper there were regular ads of the vaudville acts booked at the Auditorium theater. (An item in an earlier posting said they were dropping the acts and featuring films.) In the typical style of many small town newspapers, there was often a merging of publicity into news stories on behalf of good advertisers. For example: "Messrs. BLOOMFIELD and RATLIFF should be congratulated on the class of show that they are offering the public at such a small admission. The bill for the past two nights was exceptionally good and was appreciated by a large audience each night. The bill that they will offer Friday night and Saturday night, if anything, is a better bill than last week. Foley and Foley in a buck, wing, and clog dance is second to no one, as they certainly can dance some. The other teams Smith and Summner in a musical comedy act, and who was out with 'The Time; Place, and the Girl" last season is a hit on any bill. The pictures selected for tonight are also good and by attending the show at the Auditorium tonight you will see one of the best shows of the season."--21 OCT 1910. An ad for the last described show appeared in the paper the following day.
"BLOOMFIELD & RATLIFF, managers of the Winchester Auditorium, have sent . . . tickets for all the poor children and their mothers . . . for the moving picture show on Tuesday, Dec. 19 . . .This is a most generous act . . . and is highly appreciated."--21 DEC 1910.

"Mrs. Lee RATTLIFF and granddaughter, Margaret FISHBACK, have returned to their home in Carlisle after a visit to the former's daughter, Mrs. Howard HENRY."--30 NOV 1910, p. 3.
The ball park is being readied for the season and "The privilege of selling pop and soft drinks on the grounds has been sold to RATLIFF and WYATT . . ." 5 APR 1909., p. 6.
"Mr. N. R. RATLIFF sold his residence on Burns avenue to Charles GREEN for $2,600, Wednesday."--8 APR 1909, p. 1.

From the Owingsville (KY) Outlook:
