Made Only By De Berri Scenic Company 924 W. MONROE ST. CHICAGO VICTORIA THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA, IS ORNATE STRUCTURE (Continued from Page 478) subjects, much information, particularlj' the time of the features are largely distributed. There is no billboard or poster advertising. It is in the music, however, of which the management makes a specialty, that the Victoria excels. Dessauer Brothers Symphony Orchestra, of which Leo Dessauer is leader and Walter Dessauer assistant, plays selections from grand opera or popular airs before each afternoon and evening performance. A spotlight is thrown upon the leader with the house in darkness. The music is always applauded to the echo. A $10,000 Kimball Organ The orchestra also plays in connection with the organ during the showing of the pictures. This organ, which the Kimball Com Exterior of the Victoria Theatre, Philadelphia pany recently erected, is valued at over $10,000. Herbert Henderson and William Kleiss are the organists. The main organ is located in two massive expression chambers built upon the stage, against the rear walls of the house. The echo vox humana and other echo stops, including the cathedral chimes, are heard through the opening in the rear wall above the balcony, being installed in a chamber adjoining the projection booth. The electric console in the orchestra pit controls the entire instrument, even to the musician starting and stopping the motor without moving from his seat, and it changes instantly while he is playing any combination at will. The Victoria Kimball is unique, not alone in point of size and completeness of registration, but is voiced on four distinct wind pressures to obtain the orchestral tones, which cannot be successfully imitated without such treatment.
