PHOTOPLAYER AT THE RIALTO

An expert from the factory arriv-
ed in jerome last week to install the
new 100000 photoplayer at the
Rialto theatre and on Sunday even
ing the patrons of this popular movie
house were given quite a treat The
photoplayer takes the place of an
1S-piece orchestra, having the pipe
organ, piano, drums, flute, violin,
and other attachments that help to
make a picture as real as possible
1t is usually necessary when one
of these machines is installed to en-
gage an experienced operator, but
Mr. Zug was fortunate in having in
his employ Mrs. E. w. Werner, who
has already demonstrated that she is
able to manipulate the player in a
very capable manner.
There is now no question but what
Jerome can boast of one of the finest
equipped picture houses in the state,
and with the class of pictures Mr..
Zug is showing, one can always spend
pleasant evening at the Rialto.
