Theater Pipe Organ Arrives, Work Being Rushed

With the arrival of the $17,000 pipe organ, work on the Eltiste theater, which has been leased to a motion picture chain, was rushed today in an effort to complete the playhouse within the next 60 days.

Arrival of the organ was announced by A. B. Crawford, who has been appointed manager by C. L. Langley, lessee. Crawford said the instrument will be stored until the organ loft is rushed to completion, probably late next week.

Work on the playhouse is progressing at an encouraging rate and Crawford predicted that the house would be ready for its grand opening within the next two months.

There is a possibility that the program may be delayed for the installation of vitaphone equipment, with which the local house is to be equipped.

Meanwhile, Crawford is laying plans for a gala opening, which will be featured by the personal appearance of film celebrities and the presentation of outstanding theatrical attractions.
