Thursday of this week March 19, is to be moving picture day in Rensselaer. Manager George, of the Princess theatre, has arranged to have an' expert moving picture machine operator from the Essanay company, of Chicago, here to take the pictures and he wishes the streets of Rensselaer to be crowded on that day. Saturday, Charles F. Stack, manager of the commercial department of the Essanay film company, came down from Chicago and he and Mr. George made the plans for the events of the day. The morning will be devoted to taking pictures for Dr. F. A. Turfler, the. osteopath, who will use them in giving lectures throughout the United States. These pictures will be taken at Parker’s studio, and several subjects will be on the table, while the doctor demonstrates his spinal and dislocated hip adjustments. This demonstration will, of course, not be seen by the public. It will consume an hour and a half or two hours.

At 1 o'clock the operator will begin taking pictures along the main business streets. This may be the only opportunity you will have for a long time to get into a moving picture film and the pictures will be shown for six weeks, once each week, at The Princess. It is seldom, indeed, that a moving picture fit taken in a town like Rensselaer and it is expected the people Will come here in large numbers to get into the picture.
