HOME FOLKS MOVIES . “DEAD SWELL” PICTURE

Will Be Run for First Time Friday at Matinees and Evening Per-? formances—lt’s Great

You will have aii opportunity to “see yourselves as others see you” at the Princess Theatre Friday afternoon and night when for. the first time the “home folks” movies will be shown. These pictures were taken in Rensselaer about three weeks ago by an expert Essanay operator and have been received here ready for their first exhibit In the language of Manager Theodore George it is a “dead swell” picture and he is prepared to guarantee the public that all who see it will be “tickjed to death.” Everything showed up fine. You can recognize people on the street, the children in the school parade, the members of the fire department and all who were caught in front of the camera. It is beyond the fondest expectations and Manager George is enthusiastic about it. So many have ‘been inquiring about the picture since the day it was taken that the only fear now is that the crowd will far exceed the capacity of the house and Manager George suggests, that as many as can do so attend the afternoon matinees, at 2:30 and 3:30, so that others may be accommodated at night. This picture will be in addition, to the regular 3-reel show and as an additional feature there will be shown a dozen old time views of Rensselaer, including the old Milroy home, the old court house, the long bridge over the Iroquois at Burk’s and other pictures,

Mr. George has suggested to the moving picture people a novel feature of inter-city interest He believes that pictures similar to the one taken here could be taken in other towns and an exchange of the pictures made by the moving picture theatre .owners, making this a special weekly feature. It re quite probable that this will be done eatly this summer.
