Scope and content
Dressed in an elegant sequined gown, Miss Esther Stayner is pictured in this late December, 1924 print as she prepares to play the baby grand piano at the Rialto Theater. Miss Stayner had been named organist at the Rialto and had given her first concert on November 1, 1924. She succeeded Alice Piercy in the job. Miss Stayner was photographed on the stage with massive curtains as the backdrop. A framed "window" with accompanying foliage is also part of the decor. She had spent the three previous years at the Clemmer Theater in Spokane. G40.1-052B (TDL 10-31-24, p. 5-article)
