And that is a sort OF flashlisht on
the section of the country which feels
that the east views it with condescen-

feeling, but it largely is responsible
for the resentment the west has fer

CONCERT ORGAN READY
SOON At THE STRAND

The large and costly concert
organ, which is being installed in
the Strand Moving Picture Theatre
in Smith street, will be in opera
ton within a few days, according
to information given out yesterday
by William j.. Counihan, one of the
of the theatre. The organ,
which is said to be m of the larg-
est in the state of New Jersey, will
not take the place of the Strand
orchestra, but will be operated with
the orchestra, augmented. Although
theatres in other towns have in
stalled similar organs, the Strand is
the first in this city to boast of such
a musical instrument. AS music is
a feature necessary to the success
of moving picture shows, the man
agement expects the organ will
furnish music suitable for every
picture thrown on the screen, and
music which will prove popular
throughout the city.
The installation of the organ has
involved nearly a months work and
as the completing parts arrived at
the theatre yesterday the compile
ton of the installation is insured
within a few days. Since the open
ing of the theatre several years ago
Mr.. Counihan and the manager have
given the city the best there was or
the screen. The music has always
been excellent, but the addition of
the organ will be a great improve
ment and will no doubt attract many
there daily.
