MUSICAL treat IN STORE

Photo Player To Be Installed I'm New
Palace Moving Picture
Theater

With the artistic development of
the Photo Play, exhibitors have come
to recognize that one of the chief es-
sentials in the conduct of their the
ater Is the employment of proper
music to set the action upon the
screen.
Lighting, arranging and all the
other mechanical factors used in the
creation for proper atmosphere in
the production of pictures has been
reduced to science; everything
mechanically possible was accom-
plished to please the sense of sight
II is therefore logical as forward
step in the advancement of the Pho

pretation of every mood of the story
and to intensity impression con
yeyed through the eye ii is neces-
sary to collaborate through the sense
of sound
The Fotoplayer organ was created
to fill this long felt want, and this
instrument is now recognized as the
voice of the speechless drama. The
Fotoplayer organ contains the piano,
reed organ and pipes for orchestral
effects. With its wonderful combi-
nation of tonal qualities this instru-
ment has become the most potent
emotional influence in tha world OF
music and accompaniment of screen
action.
In line with other enterprising
exhibitors through the country.
Messrs Everett & Lofthouse have
purchased one of these magnificent
Fotoplayer organs and patrons of the
Palace Theatre may soon hear an
Instrument which Is a substitute for
IN orchestra in power and range OF
music and expression and will per-
nit an accurate musical interpreta-

Thursday for the purpose of inter-

does not state that he can relieve the
labor shortage entirely. although
with the assistance of a central lab
or office in the county he can aid to
the extent of the labor available. An
application for certain number of
men at stated wage may be re-
ceiyed favorably at the Demobi.iza-
tion Camps. which at present is a
source of labor supply. Mr.. Leete is
directly in touch with Federal Labor
agents at the several camps.
There appears at the present time
to be shortage of labor for the COM

farmers must do something immed-

were IMPRESSED BY THE
EXAMPLE OF LAHONTAN DAM
Boyeloek Residents Visited Lahontan
Sunday And We're Greeted
BY Fallonites

Loyelock citizens, anxious that
their section shall benefit in fullest
measure from the unutilized irriga-
tion possibilities existing in the
J Humboldt basin. visited Lahontan
last Sunday afternoon where they
spent several hours visiting with
lsallon people, viewing the beau
ties, substantially and water i'm
!. pounding features of the great
reservoir and dam Something like
+ fifty of the Loyelock residents made
the trip in automobiles, the state
executive department being repre-
sented by Colonel J. G. Scrugham
state engineer, to whom has been
+ intrusted the fulfllment of the
states enlarged land development
schemes. w II. Goodin and w C.
Pitt, substantial men of Lovelock
headed their party. and in the
speechmaking which followed the
luncheon hour, Colonel Scrugham
and Mr.. Goodin delivered the princi-
pal talks, Engineer Osmundsen, of
this project, particularizing on GER
tain of the features of the great i'm
pounding dam.
Colonel Scrugham, who came here
direct from Carson City by automo-
bile, expressed Governor Boyle's
disappointment over inability to be
present and recited in concise fash
ion the aims of the Lower Humboldt
residents, which he said were about
to erystalize in action that will in
sure the fullest possible uses of
the surplus waters of the Humboldt
watershed which will make possible
the intensive cultivation of from
100000 to 10000 acres of splendid
valley soil. now unproduetive. Three
reservoirs are planned by Colone
Scrugham for the Humboldt for i'm
pounding and diversion purposes
while over in the Battle Mountain
vicinity great dredging schemes will
be undertaken to prevent a great
annual waste of water. Fer many
miles in that vicinity no river chan
mel exists, but half a dozen sloughs
carry the runoff of the watershed
with a resultant loss of water which
saved will mature the ambitions of
the residents of the Lovelock sec
ton. Colonel Scrugham stated that
F. f. Weymouth, chief of construc-
ton of the federal reclamation SER
vice, had tentatively approved the
plans of the state, and that the pro-
ject will be undertaken Jointly, the
federal government and the state of
Nevada to share the cost in equal
proportion. No definite estimates
have been made, he stated. but the
feasibility Of the undertaking is in
dicated in the statement that the
per acre cost for irrigation in the
area proposed TO benefit viii be con-
siderably less than that prevailing
here
Fifty or more Fallonites went
forward from here for the purpose
of greeting and making welcome the
visitors from the Humboldt, and the
day was spent in very congenial
manner. the affair being very hap
py one for all concerned.
