V. F. Hageman found an old crank movie projector when he was preparing to remodel the Waverly [Bremer?] theater. He remembered it from the old Palace theater and that movies went as fast as the operator cranked. He also remembered one operator that fell asleep while cranking. The current projector was behind him.
