GET MOVING PICTURES
Polyscope Company to Get Views to Be Shown All Over the Country Advertising Minneapolis.
Thomas A. Persons of Chicago, representing the Polyscope company, is In the city for the purpose of securing moving pictures of some of the principal points of interest in and about the city.
The Minneapolis Real Estate Board decided that this would be one of the best ways to advertise Minneapolis, and therefore negotiated with the Polyscope company to come and take the views, which will be shown in the principal theaters in the world, over the entire circuit covered by this company. It is expected that the views will be completed and shown at a local theater this week.
When seen relative to the work here, Mr. Persons said:
"In company with Mr. Edmund G. Walton, chairman. of the advertising committee of the real estate board, I went to the Soldiers' home and secured a picture, also one of the falls at Minnehaha. From there we went to Lake Minnetonka, where took a picture of a street car coming into Excelsior, unloading its passengers, Including the loading of passengers on board the big steamer Minnetonka to Big Island.
"On the return trip I took a view of the north side of Minnetonka, including Ferndale, and another view of the docks at Excelsior. with the small steamer Minnehaha leaving the docks, and a b big freight train crossing the bridge. I intend to take a view of Nicollet avenue with the fire department in full action, another view of the G.A.R. parade and one of the stone arch bridge.
