Dance Hall scene from "Tlie Garden History of Motion By Beatrix CHAPTER VII. The kineto scope, regard- ed at first with suspi c i o n, goon gained in fame at the Chicago expo sition. The vej.tured h i o nickel in its slot, with an alreadv half conviction that the thing was a dupe, gasped in astonishment. He did see pictures in movement. It was all over in a passing moment, but during that moment he had every evidence of actual, pulsating life, reduced to the photographer's art. This, then, is the advent of the motion picture as an amusement fea. ture. As yet it was very crude and very brief. It was hidden away in 'a box with a peep hole and a coin In I Ka elnf orrancpmpnt TorlaV it llIC DIUl lit . ff ......... would be regarded as nothing .more noteworthy than a penny-arcade fix ture. At its longest, the picture did not run for more than a few feet. Of course, there was no opportunity, and consequently no attempt, for story development. The only at tempt was to get movement. But in its achievement of that simple result the kinetoscope developed into one of the greatest sensatl ns of the fair. As a factor in the growth of the (greater motion picture industry the feature of the kinetoscope most to be noted Is the celluloid film on which the pictures were printed, and by the winding and unwinding, of which the illusion of continuous motion was accomplished. It was the early Eastman product and practically the motion picture film of today. In passing, it might also be remarked that a magnifying glass, between the peep-hole and the film, greatly en larged the figures. This principle of magnifying, although by an entirely different proceedure, remains a very important consideration in the pres ent day motion picture theatres. Among the thousands of visitors at the fair who peeked into the ki netoscope, with disregard for sani tation, were two Greeks from Lon don. One according to F. A. Talbee in his book on motion pictures, was a green grocer and the other a toy maker. Up to the time of. their re spective peeks both were passingly Insignificant in the financial and sci entific world. However, the several minutes that they had to stand in line before they could get close enough to Edison's device to deposit their nickels in the slot and glue their eyes to the peep-hole gave them sufficient time for some very porten tous contemplation. They thought it indeed marvelous that the machine should so readily set pictures into motion, but they found even more In teresting the indefatigable readiness with which it garnered the nickels. It appeared, a veritable mint for the coinage of small change. So they struck a bargain with the man in charge, and, when they re turned to London, took a kinetoscope with them. Their plans, however, were much more extensive than the possibilities of a single machine. In the eye of their financial Imagina tion they saw hundreds of duplicates scattered throughout London and gobbling up the coin of te realm for their personal benefit. The machine they had brought with them was to serve as only a working model, after pattern of which a multitude were to be built. First of all they took It to a mechan ical and electrical worker of but moderate distinction in his profes 3- ''si"9 P"4 ;i3 yy em of Allah," Page Theatre, Meclfonl, Picture Industry Michviena sion. Thtre were probably a good 'thousand others of higher rating in the big metropolis, but thus unac countably does Fate often make her selections. The particular instru ment mal er to whom the two Greeks happened to take their kinetoscope and their plans was Robert W. Paul, 1 at that time just one of the several 'million names in the city directory, but soon to be one of the biggest in the motion picture Industry, and ; quite the biggest so far as England S was concerned. Paul was greatly impressed with Edisons device; so much so, in fact, that he felt sure that the American Inventor must certainly have covered it with an English patent. He ex plained to the 'crestfallen Greeks the serious consequences that would fol low a patent Infringement, and so let the matter rest for a few days. But he could not drive the kinetoscope and its obvious ingenuity from his mind. Finally, on the slimmest haz ard, he went to the patent office to make investigation, and, as unac countable as it might seen, found that the kinetoscope was not pro tected. He got into hurried commun ication with the two Greeks and, Subscription Bargain Club Offers for November Xo. 1. Ashland Tidings and Sunset Magazine one full rear $2.50 No. 2.

Kathlyn Williams, the popular Morosco-Pallas star, has Just been honored with an invitation from the Wisconsin State University to deliver a series of lectures on the art of malipg motion pictures. Although very busy on "Redeem ing Love," her initial Morosco-Para-mount subject, Miss Williams has arranged to accept this invitation, realizing the honor which has been conferred upon her. The university, after thoroughly canvassing the field for the most authoritative woman star to deliver these talks, decided that Miss Williams, with her' vast ex perience in all kinds of parts, both ancient and modern, was the one best fitted to instruct the growing young American minds on the art of the cinema. Just Like a Woman! Kittens Reichert, the diminutive act ress with the William Fox forces, had to fall fifty feet from a cliff in a new picture now being screened. Of course, there was a net a good, strong net beneath to catch her en route, but nevertheless few persons would try the stunt as morning exer cise. Kittens did her part nobly. She fell without a single quake, cry or quivver. Five minutes later she screamed at the sight of a tiny worm on her shoe. Faust On the Screen. The big film adaptation from the opera "Faust," which has been for many months in the making at the studios of the California Motion Pic ture Corporation, San Rafael, is now nearlng completion, and, according to announced plans, will be released for indefinite runs this winter in several of the leading cities of the country. It is reported to be an elaborate and expensive production of the most ambitious type, intended exclusively for "big time" bookings. The scenario is from the pen of Captain Leslie T. Peacocke, who, since the appearance of his "Nep tune's Daughter," has been rated among the few greatest of America's screen authors.

As Mar guerite, Miss Mlchelena will find it necessary to add a new type to her already long and diversified list of motion picture heroines. Something of the demand that is said to have been made upon Miss MIchelena's talent and emotional re sponsiveness may be gathered from the fact that the big theme of the big theme of the screen story is Mar guerite's fall from innocence, her tribulations, as pictured in Gothe's poem, and her final redemption. While thoroughly classical in at mosphere, the "Faust" motion pic ture, like the original story, is re plete with tense situation and the proverbial "punch" of the accepted film production.
