 At the Princess , sound installation was completed by August 16 . An entire page of the Edmonton Bulletin was devoted to the reopening , including a congratulating ad from a local record store , an ad for the electrical contractors who installed the wiring , and a message congratulating the Princess placed by the managers of three other establishments already wired for sound : the Rialto , Empress and Capitol Theatres . The physical renovations necessary to accommodate the new wiring were carried out by S. H. Muttart , an important local builder and namesake of the Muttart Conservatory in Edmonton ’ s River Valley . The first talkie screened at the Princess was Close Harmony starring Buddy Rogers and Nancy Carroll .
