Local pictures Sat.and Sun. The management of the Owego Theater will spring a new and novel surprise on Saturday and Sunday nights by show- ing a great many pictures of local people on the screen. The pictures are being made this week by Charles A. Sar- tain, one of the oldest camera men on the road and an expert with the Graflex camera. We will have the pleasure of seeing the people of Baker in every day life, many of the pictures funny and all of them good and comprising the widest possible range of interest. Mr. Sartain has carted a camera from Old Mexico to Alaska, and his pictures have pleased thousands of people in almost every state in the union, so that the management of the the- ater feel that they are really fortunate in securing his pictures for this date.
