Let us consider some famous play for instance, and work the problem out. "Uncle Tom's Cabin," for in stance. Just think how much more realistld it would be It Instead of having Eliza ruunlng across drygooda boxes Cov- ered with cheese cloth on a stage. the curtain could be lowered and mo tion pictures of the same, Eliza run ning across the St. Lawrence riven Just as the ice was breaking up, b presented. Then yon could shirt back; to the open stage again when Eliza got across the river. The greatest advantage of our Ida- would be the elimination of the tele phono from the stage. Th' Instead of having a maid with a feathet; duster tell all that has happened be fore Into a telephone after the cur tain goes up, the audience could sei what hud happened in the past out the screen condensed Into ono reel before the curtain arises. I Our plan would also eliminate all chances of such an accident as onco occured In the most tlckl'si' part 6f "Uncle Tom's CaMu," as presented In a tent show. It was thusly: Just as little Eva, weight 163 pounds, wa being hoisted up to heaven am'd th a n Kills, the hoist broke and Eva broko down the stage and broko up th play. ,lf this part could have been shown In motion pictures nothing of the kind could havo happened. The idea might be used to great effect in musical comedy. We have heard lots of musical comedy that would soul!'! better; thrown on a screen. Do we bear someone ask. "Wh not make It all movies?" That one little question Is' all that keeps us from borrowing the monej; to go to New York. Oregon City woolen mills will b operated by electric power in thd future. Our I ,n test Idea We have an Idea which ought o be tried out. If we only lived in New York and had the nerve we would submit it to Oliver Mornsco or the Vitngriipli company. It Is bound to make somebody r'ch and we would be willing to let somo producer In on It providing wo could bo assured of a big enough cut of the profits. We would present a theatrical per formance combin'iig real acting and mot'on pictures (not that occasional- acting Isn't seen In what we mean Is a play with stago hands and footlights and actors and alt).
