 [   California's Gold #8007 - Photoplayer
 [ Huell Howser meets Joe Rinaudo whose passion is a 1926 Fotoplayer,
 [ which uses music rolls like those for player pianos to provide
 [ music and sound effects to silent films.  Joe spent thousands of hours
 [ restoring his Fotoplayer and although the "talkies" made them obsolete
 [ in the late 1920s, Huell discovers there is still no better way to
 [ enjoy a silent movie than with Joe, his hand cranked projector and
 [ his Fotoplayer.
