Organ Cost $4,000.
The organ was installed at a cost
of $4,000.
The members of the World Real
ty Cd. acquired the site of the Moon
IN dol8, and work of excavation was
Begun in the fall of the same year.
Actual work of construction was be-
gun about January /, 1910. The
house itself cost 100000, and the
entire property is valued at approx
mately half million dollars. 1t
was not originally intended to build
the Moon on so complete a scale,
but as the drawing of the plans
progressed, the owners determined
to make the theater one of the best
ard most complete in the middle
west in its construction and equip
ment.
1t is the announced purpose of the
owners of the Moon to show moth
ing but the best films the market af-
fords in this house. No expense,
they say, will be spared in purchas-
ing the highest class photoplays OBJ
tainable.
R. S. Ballantyne, who has been
the manager of the Muse theater
under the ownership of the World
Realty Co., will act as manager of
the Moon in connection with his
continued responsibilities at the

Noted engineer Has Grown
With Movie Industry In
0maha-0perated First
Theater IA Years Ago.

Otto Hansen, construction engi-
ncer for the theaters owned in Oma-
la by the World Realty company
and who is given credit for many
OF the electrical innovations OF the
New Moon theater, was one OF the
first men to engage in the showing
OF motion pictures in this city. He
has seen the industry in Omaha ad-
vance from an insignificant begin
ning to one of the foremost of enter
tainment and commercial enterprises
and has had an important part in
the development of the industry
here
Mr.. Hansen was the projection
operator in the old Parlor theater
IN Douglas street, the first in Oma-
ha. 1t was opened to the public
about IA years ago. The photoplay
was in its infancy then, as com
pared to the present day.
Apparatus Was Crude.
Projection apparatus was compar-
atively crude, as is illustrated by the
fact that, as Mr.. Hansen says, the
film from the projecting machine
was run into a gunny sack after il
had discharged its purpose OF throw
lug the picture on the screen. The
modern reel for winding the film had
not been invented then.
Mr.. Hansen was not content with
being merely an operator. He
studied the photoplay business and
gave special attention to its mech
anical phases. He is an electrical
! engineer of exceptional ability and
he has devoted his knowledge to
the application of scientific prin-
ciples to the projection of the film.
AS a result he has contributed
several inventions to photoplay
mechanism that are in general usa
wherever pictures are known.
Many ideas of the modern pFo-
jecting machine are directly trace
able to him. ."#
Consulted by Builders.
When the Sun theater was finder
construction three years agJ Mr..
Hansen was consulted freely Jbv the
owners of the building and/ nv the
architects and builders. His ideas
were found to be OF sudh nract;-
bility that many of them .Iwere EN-
bodied in the construction Of the
Sun. Until the Moon 6heater was
built the Sun projecting room was
said to have been oni of the best
equipped in the city.
All the electrical ldevices in the
Moon theater were Installed Under
Mr.. Hansen's PERSONAL SUPERVISION.
His ideas of the ylightinr effects
were incorporated in the interior and
the illumination features in the front
exterior are his Conception. He de-
v.ised the ventilaN ion system which,
it IS said. is unea xcelled.

had to raise prices. Yet today the
moving picture houses have as
many patrons as they had when
their prices were much lower. The
soda fountains sell just as many
drinks at the present rate as they
did at the cheaper rates"
Won't Pay by Tickets.
Four passengers out of five pay
their fares with tickets at the
81 cent rate, and the fifth passen-
ger pays his fare at the rate of 7
cents, according to the company's
statistics.
I'VE believe the passengers will
practically all come back" said Mr..
Leussles. They save money when
they ride, even at J cents a ride.
Many people walk for their health
and we have nothing to say regard
ing them. It's good form of exer-
else. But as an economic PROPOSE
ton walking is very expensive"
Disks Here Soon.
The metal disks which are being
made to take the place of of the
printed street car tickets will be here
in two weeks, Mr.. Leussler thinks.
They will be of two sizes. Those
for adult, four for-a-quarter fares,
will be slightly smaller than TO-
cent piece. Those for children's
fares will be slightly larger than
fve-cent piece. They are made in
these sizes SO as to register their
respective values in the fare boxes.
They will be made of liberty
silver" and the letters, 20. c. B."
will be cut in the center of each
disk. the letters being cut entirely
though the coin. The disks will be
stamped also with the name of the
street railway company.
This will make a form OF disk
very hard to counterfeit, the street
railway officials believe. The
printed tickets are an expensive
item. About $4,000 of them are
sold daily now. They have to be
only once. The disks will be
counted automatically in the fare
boxes and will be used over and
over Just like any other coin.

Moon Projecting Room
Latest Word in Motion
Picture Equipment

The Moon theater projecting
room, film experts say, is the last
word in arrangement and equipment.
1t is absolutely freproof and at the
same time designed in such a man
ner that the comfort and safety Of
the operators are regarded not less
efficiently than the patrons of the
house. 1t is larger than the ordin-
airy projection room and is provided
with toilet and wash room for the
convenience of the operator. Its
ample dimensions to allow the oper-
ator to perform his duties under
agreeable working conditions.
The room is equipped with three
Of the most modern projection
machines and also a stereopticon.
The machines are arranged in such
a manner that should one projecting
apparatus get out of order at any
time the other may be thrown into
play without an instant's Interrupt
ton of showing of the film.

Big Decrease in Number of
Passengers on Street Cars
Nearly $4,000 Fewer People Rode on Street Cars of
Omaha Daily in the 10 Days Following Increase in
Fares Than in 10 Days Preceding Raise

Nearly 10000 fewer people rode
on the street cars of Omaha daily
in the 10 days Immediately follow
ing the raise in fares than rode on
the cars each day in the 10 DAYS
imme diately preceding the raise in
fares.
This is shown by the figures of
the auditor of the street railway
company and given out by AS
sistant General Manager Leussler.
The total number of passengers
carried in the 10 days ending
August 9 was l,644,822, and the total
number carried in the 10 days be-
ginning August 10, when the in
creased fares went into effect. was
only 1,450,11.

as compared with the 10 days i'm
medlately preceding the increase in
the fare.
ALREADY we can notice that the
number of people who walked when
the fare was raised are going back
to riding" said Mr.. Leussler. They
soon realize that it is cheaper to
pay 81 cents car fare than it is to
walk and wear out shoes at So to
$40 pair.
I'VE expected this decrease in the
of passengers. The same
experience was gone through by
other street railway companies.

CARDINAL BLESSES
HELPERS OF BELGIUM
Expresses Thanks Of Nation at
Visit to Women's Relief Com
mittee Headquarters

Late this afternoon Cardinal Mer-
cier did what was probably closest to
his heart of all his days program when
he visited the Belgian Relief Committee
of the Emergency Aid at their head :
quarters 1924 Walnut street.
The primate arrived at the headquar- =
ters at 4 o'clock and paused mo-
ment on the steps while the crowd in
the street cheered him voicferously. He
turned and smiled benighly down at
them before entering the building
where he was greeted first by Mrs.
Bayard Henry, chairman Of the com
mittee. She led him into a small re =
ception room, where he met and chat =
ted with other members of the com =
mittee and where he blessed several
rosaries for some of the women.
A more formal reception followed,
in which Mrs. Henry introduced the
cardinal by saying:
CAN of these five years, we have
worked with the thought of helping
belgium. Our ancestors came here for
liberty and if we have helped uphold
the cause of Belgium, we are now amply
repaid when she has sent us her most
precious possession, Mercier, her heroic
and luxurious CARDINAL
The Cardinal in a short speech said ::
During the dark days. you cannot
realize how Belgium rejoiced at your
aid. Today, she offers you her thanks,
the first of all cities of the United
States in Belgian relief work. I know
well what we owe to you and your
chairman. Today,'I come here, happy
to b among you and to be able to give
you fatherly blessing.
Il can only thank you, and ask God
to bless you.
