Scope and content
Nearly leaping off the Rialto Theatre stage is the drummer of a 8-piece jazz band pictured above. His band mates pose more sedately with their instruments on January 23, 1925. This may be Eddie Hillabrand and his Hollywood Studio Jazz Band who shared the bill with the Glenn Hunter film, "Merton of the Movies." Hillabrand's band performed three times daily, at 3, 7 and 9 pm. The massive organ in front of the stage would have provided accompanying music for the silent films of that era.
