ORGAN KNOWN AS THE HOPE-JONES UNIT ORCHESTRA, IN THE PARIS THEATRE,
DENVER, COLORADO.
This fine instrument was installed in May, 1913, and hailed by the
people of Denver with great enthusiasm. The president of the Paris
Theatre Company, writing under date of June 9, says:
"The wonderful instrument * * * is proving a source of interest to the
whole city and has materially added to the fame of 'The Paris' as the
leading picture theatre of Denver. No thirty-piece orchestra could
accompany the pictures so well as the Hope-Jones Unit Orchestra does.
Neither would it so completely carry away with enthusiasm the crowd
that flock to hear it."

placed on each side of the proscenium, occupying the place of the usual
stage boxes, the tone being reflected into the theatre through
ornamental case work. The 32-foot open diaphone is located behind the
