The date of opening the new Gart
ner Photo-Play house was set definite
ly today as Saturday evening, the 27th
By that time everything will be com plete.
The feature of th Gartner theater is
that it will be 's,th only photo-play
house with- a v three-piece orchestra.
The Kroll brothers, - who have played together for nine years as boya and later as union musicians, will furnish the music at every show. W. J. Kroll,
the violinist, will lead.
Members of the family will have
charge of the box. office. ,In short, the
only overhead expense the Gartner j
will have is license, 30 rent, opera
tor and lights. "We havo everything down to a minimum and H the money we save in overhead expense we are
going to put Into the pictures," stated
one of the boys today.
"Tho public demands good pictures. We have our machine forty feet from the screen so that the focus will be the best and the pictures as distinct as they can be made. The seats are arranged far enough apart to allow a patron to pass by others without It being necessary for them to arise." Before considering the erecting of a picture show house on that site It is said that John Gartner had someone stand at the lot and count everyone who passed on either side of the street. The figure amazed him. He, as well as the Kroll brothers, feels that he has a good thing. The Gartner will show a "Universal" program. For the twenty-seventh It has a picture called "T'te Ride to Death," a lively western story, and for Sunday It will show among other pictures "Bliss Recovered," a comic photo.
The front of the Gartner will be lighted with a blazing arc light It has a theater canopy and thirty-seven
and a half foot Tront' In fact, it looks i like a vaudeville house. The Interior Is wide and not deep. It will seat three hundred. Shows in the. evening start, at seven, eight and nine o'clock. j

friends paid their last tribute to Mrs. 1 May Clinton Eder, wife of Council- j man-Elect Clarence Eder of the Eighth ! ward at the family residence yester- i dy afternoon at 56 Clinton street..
