PIPE ORGAN IS
BIG FEATURE
AT EMPRESS
The formal opening of the new Em
press theater, with the installation
of its $18,000 pipe organ, took place
last night, and Avas an event of more
than passing importance. It marked
the completion of the finest and most
costly picture house any city in the
States five times the size of Cordova
boasts of, and the residents of the
entire Copper River valley are natur
ally proud of this amusement temple
and fully appreciate the enterprise and
far-sightedness of its OAvner, Captain
A. E. Lathrop.
Too much credit can not be given
our townsman for shoAving his faith
in the future greatness of Cordova by
this substantial investment.
Fortunate indeed were those who
Avere able to gain admittance to the
Empress theater last night. Long be
fore the doors opened the sidewalk
in front of the building Avas lined Avith
a waiting croAvd, and in a short time
the “S. R. O.” sign Avas in evidence.
This, hoAvever, did not prevent the
sale of tickets, and it was not until
every available space had been occu
pied that the disappointed ones Avere
Avilling to Avait until tonight to attend
the dual attraction of a pipe organ re
cital and Mabel Normand in that great
est of all film productions, “Mickey.”
The neAv stage settings also had ar
rived, and Avere in place, Avhile a large
basket of flowers added to the decora
tions. Many theater parties Avere
given, and every loge Avas occupied,
making the event a social as Avell as
an artistic success.
The organ recital and the musical
score of the photoplay, as rendered by
Donald C. Fairman, Avere a treat thor
oughly enjoyed by the large audience,
and demonstrated the ability of that
talented musicial to successfully han
dle the neAv instrument. The program
Avas a varied one, and brought out
the possibilities of the organ, Avhich
Avere a revelation to all Avho heard it,
and resulted in a great ovation being
given Mr. Fairman.
As to the screen production, it Avas
the best picture of the kind ever shoAvn
here, and the many exciting climaxes
brought forth much applause.
As advertised, “Mickey” is “a pic
ture you will never forget.” It is full
of thrilling scenes, magnificently
i staged and well acted by an evenly
balanced caste, with Mabel Normand
at her best in the leading role. The
greatest appreciation is shown by the
fact that many who witnessed last
night’s performance will also be pres
ent tonight, when the theater should
again be packed to capacity.
The new organ is the class of in
strument used in all the large show
houses in the States. It is the Kim
ball orchestral unified organ, built
especially for theater purposes, and
is equal to a fifty-piece orchestra. It
was installed by A. D. Longmore, Pa
cific coast representative of the fac
tory, who spent the past two weeks
here, and he states that it is one of
the finest instruments ever turned out
by his company.
The organ is operated by an elec
tric motor and blower in the base
ment, and also has a generator for low
voltage current for action of instru
ment. It is divided into two chambers
—the organ on one side of the stage
and the traps and percussions on the
other side. The organ tones repre
sent stringed instruments, reeds and
foundations which are entirely electric.
The console has two keyboards and a
pedal board. Stops are operated by
tablets placed above the keyboards.
These tablets can he grouped into any
desired combination, which can be put
on or off by pistons between the key
boards, making the operation of the j
organ very simple.
On the percussion side are the fol
lowing instruments and effects: Ma
rimbaphone or harp, xylophone, or
chestra bells, glockenspiel, bass and
snare drums, cymbals, Chinese gong
and block, triangle, castannettes. tom
tom, tambourines, bird calls, auto horn,
telephone bell, shrief whistle, steam
boat whistle, and. in fact, every con
ceivable instrument.
The harp in the organ is one of the
most expensive manufactured, and few
organs contain it. The string tones
imitate bass, violincello, viola and vio
lin; then there are the different flutes,
horns and reeds. In the percussions
are included all the traps a drummer
could use. The largest pipe in the
organ is twenty-four feet long by thir
teen inches in diameter, and the small
est pipe is less than one-fourth of an
inch long.
