GET IN THE MOVIES PICTURE IN RENSSELAER

Essanay Company Will Make Local Films for Dr. F. A. Turfler and The Princess. There will be a chance for every person who visits Rensselaer on a date soon to be set to get into a moving picture. Manager Theodore George, of the Princess Theatre, was in Chicago Monday and arranged with the manager of the Essanay Company to make a number of pictures in this city. The moving picture equipment, weighing with all apparatus about a ton, will be sent here for the express purpose of making a number of pictures for Dr. F. A. Turfler, the osteopatli, at his practice. These will be used by Dr. Turfler in illustrating his lectures on osteopathy throughout the country. Manager George also arranged with the moving picture people to take a number of pictures in Rensselaer. Fire Chief Montgomery will give an exhibition run of the fire department and the sealing of the Makeever hotel by members of his hook and ladder assistants. This will be taken right on the streets of Rensselaer and all who happen to be on the streets will have a chance of getting in the pietura Several other views, including the interior of The Republican office will be taken, showing the linotype machine and the printing presses in operation. The manager of the Essanay people will be here Saturday of this week to complete the arrangements and the date for the visit with the picture taking machine will be determined. The day will be advertised and it is hoped that a great crowd of people assemble and see just how these marvelous pictures are taken.
