It will be followed by others The Gianada it will be recalled openetl as a motion picture house but Its eailler cfiorts were not successful financially nnd It putted into the hands of several different owners until It was acquired by the D.

cticull It has been Reno's only road show house since that time, Mr Nalfy having caused extensive Improvements to be made In it and It has become quite popular The Majestic i.s installing the ap- piuatus for the Vitaphone and the work Is already undei way but It is complicated and takes time Managing Dliector Bob Ray of the D. Enterpilscs In Reno says however that It will be ready by the middle of the month It has been mot successful wherevei it has been put on find with the movietone to follow. Reno may tonguitulate itself on forms stilctly to date And that isn all that Mr Ra has in view for the Majestic, as ho will Introduce bl! stage acts, starting i a very notable one next Wednesday night when on that evening and rest of the week he will give the "Reno Junior Stars' in then- latest revue of songs and dances In the meantime the usual vaudeville accompaniment to the pictures will be given tomorrow and until the tevue appears These stage attractions are good that Mi Ray has In mind and will be a feature Which leminds me that they huvo come back, slowly after being ousted for a long while from motion picture houses The old Grand actually started the movies in Reno us sort of side show to the vaudeville bill Then tho Huist brothers got control and made the movies supreme there In the meantime the late Charley Dnvies had a vaudeville Khow at the Wigwam that was quite on attraction Ho plunged Into the movies too. and soon his vaudeville bill was entirely subordinated to the screen It was on the Wigwam screen that the principal Fox plays first appealed and Charley Davles was always rather pleased to be able to say that It was ho who produced in Reno the famous Theda Barn, in Fox's production "The Vampire" Then came a long siege -with nothing but straight movies until the Hurst Brothers Introduced The Masquerader" with a well- staged prologue or prelude Another long wait ended with tho coralng of the late Frank Costello as managing director of the Enter- pi Ises for Reno Frank hud made a big hit as manager of the Tlvoll at Francisco with his prologues to the movies there and he repeated his successes here These gave way at le.igth.to regular vaudeville entertainment Bob Ray has been most successful In training amateurs at the Wigwam, although he was badly handicapped there by the lack of a regular stage At the Majestic he has a free hand in this respect and a first-class stage to work i so it is certain that Reno Is about to see a seiles of hits.

If Davies had not made a contract to take the William Fox pictures when he did make it, it is a matter of general knowledge that Fox would have built a theatre of his own here The Hurst Brothers first held the Fox contract but they were pledged to Paramount productions and the tone of the Fox pictures of the time did not please their clientele at the Grand When Turner Dahnken saw this, they grabbed the chance but when Turner Dahnken sold out some ten years or so ago the new managers did not care for Fox and he was without a place to show his pictures in Reno He looked at the Byland property on Virginia street and Just then Charley Davies decided to the Fox contract He never regretted It.
