AT SPENCER SQUARE.

The Spencer Square theater man
agement, striving to introduce the lat
est in entertainment, has secured John
W. Casio. musical composer Of note,
as organist for the handsome organ
which has been a feature of the Sec
ond avenue motion picture house since
its opening. No composer in the mid
die west is more widely known nor
more internationally famous than Mr..
Casio and so insistent have been the
demands upon his time that it was
only by establishing a new precedent
in theater management that he was in
duced to join with the Spencer Square
forces. Under the new arrangement a
series of organ recitals will be given
throughout the week at the Spencer
Square and it promises to become the
musical center of the tri-cities as it
has become the standard motion pic
ture theater. Mr.. Casio has played
many of the world famous organs
abroad and his ability and individu
ality of expression have won the at
tention and praise of critiques. His
musical experience is made up of
study and conservatory training in
this country supplemented with study
in Germany, Italy and France His
distinguished ability won him a medal
from the Italian government and sig
nal honors from other patrons of the
