The light in the new device comes from, behind the screen fastened, in front. The projecting machine is set fairly close to the screen and so only about one-third to one-half the power i.ow used is needed. The projecting machine ! is the same as in the dark room exhibition. ,. It Is the screen that does the work. This Is a secret composition of chem icals, white and translucent, but not transparent. Minute square corruga tions cover the surface.

This means every 'seat In the front of the theatre will now be desirable, Colored films show up es pecially well. of the principal parts Is played by Rhea Mitchell, the Portland girl. Judging by past efforts of the com pany, the Majestic should have an ex cellent comedy in George Kleine's pro duction of "Officer 666."- It is the rapid melodramatic farce that was pre sented recently with success by the BakeY players. The film version fea tures Howard Estabrook as Travers Gladwin. : Another of the Mutual master pic tures, .."A Man and His Mate," will be shown at the Sunset this week. The picture Is based on II. R. Durant's novel and play and Is of the far west. Henry Woodruff, well known dramatic star, makes his screen debut In the leading role. The bill will be, com pleted with a special two act Keystone and the Mutual weekly. ' Victor Moore will make his screen ' debut today at the Peoples in "Snobs," a rollicking comedy and satire built on the same theme of a milkman who is discovered to be the heir to the title and fortune of the English Duke of Walshlre. His love affair and his ef forts to et into society and live up to his" title make,- the comedy element. The blended bill at tRe National to day is headed by Kathlyn Williams An a seventeenth century romance, "The Story of the Blood Red Rose." by James Oliver Curwood. The picture bill is rounded out with "The Love Whip," a" matrimonial .comedy with Lillian Walker, "Ham in the Harem," and "A Night In a Jungle." Joe Roberts, the banjoist, enters upon his second week's engagement. The bill at the Star will be topped by "The Girl of the Night" with Pauline Bush and Lon Chaney. Hyp notism and love are combined In the theme of "The Whirling Disk." with Cleo Madison and Joe King.

"Lost Lord Lovell," with Signe Auen. tops the Circle bill today that also has a Path color scenic and a Chaplin comedy. Monday the feature Is "The Cipher Code" (Zudora); Tuesday, "The Sheriff's Yellow Streak"; Wednesday, "Exploits of Elaine." AS far as Is known high school pupils of Chicago are the first to take advantage of the presence of motion picture studios for study. The pupUs. In question were studying the technique of the photoplay and in doing so they made ' a visit to the Seltg studio where they witnessed the course of action followed in handling a photoplay manuscript from the time it is placed in the producer's hands until the finished film is ready for exhibition. The dark rooms, the studio proper and the actual making of pic tures rwere all viewed with wonder ment and interest. Other - students have applied for similar permission.

Lew Fields, who Is starring In World Film Comedy-Star 'releases, recently had abusl r.ess appointment at the 'offices of the company. He arrived several mln utes before time, and while he was waiting he was approached by a little fellow, perhaps five feet flat, who in formed him that he was desirous of entering. the motion picture game. "Yes." ; he said, "that's what I'm here for Looking for ,'an engage ment." "What can you do in the movies?" asked Lew. "I'm going to be a giant," replied the short person. "What kind of a giant would a short fellow like you make?" laughed the comedian. "I'd be a sensational giant," re torted the small one; "I'd be the I smallest giant in the world." "That's a great idea, spoke up Lew. "Perhaps I can get a Job along with you as the tallest dwarf in the world.

By this time the project had been discussed in all the homes and In most cases met with disfavor, and most of the children seemed In different, according to the views ad vanced at home. But. I was determined to attempt it anyway, and I was just as determined to make It a success. I decided not to use the 118 we had raised until every one felt that it was not to be money wasted. I myself" pur chased a second handed, three burner coal oil stove, five gallons of oil and several large cans of chocolate. . I con- Uverted one corner lof a rather large open cloak room nto a kitchen with my stove, a table Covered with white oilcloth and a cupboard neatly lined with sanitas wall paper. I also brought two and a half dozen cups and saucers from my home and the first week we served chocolate, i XnnoTatlon Is Popular. ; From that time on hot lunch began to grow in popularity, for every child liked his cup of hpt chocolate. Then I began the Use ojf our $18 fund for supplies. ' . . First I bought a large box of jcrack ers, chocolate, sugar. Hour, rice, maca roni and meat from time to time to form the base of some soups and stews and the children offered to bring dif ferent klndsN of vegetables and fruits to add to our store. In came contri butions in the shape of potatoes, onions, cabbage, dry beans, dried corn and peas, blackberries. gooseberries, tomatoes,, dried apples and salt meat for seasoning. We served In the line of soups potato, bean, beef, macaroni. vegetable, tomato and on a few special occasions, oyster and minced clam soup. To vary the order of things we served fruit orjbeef dumplings, maca roni andeheese, baked potatoes and yegetablestews occasionally. Our plan- of serving was arranged to suit our accommodations. Each child sat in his own seat and arranged his cold lunch upon a paper napkin. The girls of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades were paired in couples. One couple prepared and served the lunch one day and' another couple washed the dishes. The next day the dish washers were the cooks, each couple taking Its turn. By this arrangement each girl cooked and washed dishes only, once in each week and with very little Inter ruption to her studies. After we had operated the lunch plan in this manner for two or three weeks I told the children we would give it up for a while, if they wished, as I did not want to tire them, but I was met by very enthusiastic protests against giving it up, so now after three Eugene, Or., April 17. Eleven mllps out from Eugene, in Lane county, on the Wendling branch of the Southern Pacific railroad, is a little box school house called the Stafford school. In this little house a live little woman named Mrs. Bdjra Dean Condon, teaches from 25 to 30 pupils. In spite of the opposition of certain conservative di rectors, she has made the hot lunch a means to teach cooking, and if she teaches the school next term, a number of more new things will be done in mat district. Below she tells how It all came about. By Mr Taylor in the reigning and Elsie Janis THE Famous Players Motion Picture rompanv has made a record offer of $75,000 for the right to film "A Celebrated Case." as It is now being presented in, revival on Broadway witn its alt-star cast.-of magnitude. The picture company'lkis" agreed that the production will bevat' least two hours long and Charles Frohman and David Belasco, Joint producers of "A Cele brated Case" have agreed that they will duplicate the scenery being used in the production as well as furnlsn additional scenery. It is predicted that the agreement win be made. CONSIDERABLE,! discussion has been entered .iUvtofcr as to whether the- motion pictures J- of . the' Willard Johnson champion prize fight would be exhibited in thjscountry. There Is every reason to' .believe that they will not as congress passed a law three years ago placing the ban upon importation of prize fight films, and denying them the channels of Inter state commerce. In the last tariff law congress placed a clause conferring on the treasury department (oww to ex clude any objectionable . film and in particular films portraying prize fights. So It would seem that smuggling would, be the only means of bringing in the Willard-Johnson film. . WOLF LARSON, known as "The . Sea Wolf in Jack London's story, of t,he same name,, was a. real person. He was. a seal poacher for whom the United States government offered a reward. His real name was "Bully" Bates and his sealing schooner was called the "Ghost," as it was in the " story. Hobart Bosworth gave a wonderful portrayal of the Wolf, when the story was presented In film ver sion. Mr. Bosworth's first production with the Universal company will be called "Fatherhood." XJERE is a little story with Carlyle Xi Blackwell as the center figure. A certain youngr actor was playing with Carlyle ' in a recent picture and was told to do and say certain things, and not fully understanding, turned to him and- said. "Well, give me . a lead." Blackwell quickly . responded, "Sorry, but I take all those myself." has just i gone over for a return en gagement. "Excuse Me" and "Potash and Perlmutter" are London attrac tions, and it seems certain that of the current Broadway successes "The Song of Songs," "Under Cover." "On Trial." "Kick In." "Sinners," "Life." "Watch Your Step" and "Hello Broadway" will be sent to England.

The close of the initial week of the experiment of converting the New York Hippodrome into a'raovie" theatre has elicited r i. . mono 0rrvnt a. statement that ought to bring cheer to the pic- , ture fans. Erected primarily as "the : people's theatre,' equippea to cater ip the masses on broad lines Impossible elsewhere on earth, the HIpprodrom, with its 5200 seats, has been consid ered as I doing splendidly when It played to 60.000 persons a week under the old system. Now It apparently has just come Into Its own. for the ticket boxes for the first week show a total attendance of 138,209 paid admissions, or an aver age of 19,747 a day. There were cer tain 'hours on many days when thou sands were turned away because there were no seats to accommodate them and other hours under the continuous system when the house was far from full. Edna Dean Condon. When I attended the Oregon Normal school I scheduled myself for all the work on the rural school problem that I .could take, for I have always been especially interested in that phase of education; so when I took up my work In a little one room school last fall I nad several plans and theories which Jl was anxious to try out. , Foremost in my mind was the plan of the hot lunch system in rural dis tricts, so when my school board met with the children to "size up" the new teacher and see how matters would shape themselves on the first day, I made bold - to ask that I be allowed to try out the hot lunch plan. After several significant glances from one director to another, one man explained that the danger of the children spill ing hot soup down the backs of each other's necks was too great to risk, out that if I was capable of command ing good discipline in the school room and on tRe grounds for a month, they would consider the matter. I took up the matter of a quiet and orderly lunch hour on the first day by telling the children of an experience with a school where many of the pu pils took scarcely five minutes to lt, down their lunch, oftentimes finishing it out on the play ground with a piece of pie in one hand and a ball in the other. Some of the children even went to the woodshed, where they would perch: up on the joists to eat their lunches. I remarked that pos sibly the parents of, those children took their meals in much the Same manner, preferring the woodshed to the kitchen or dining room. Needless to say that every one of my new pupils ,came In at noon and each took his own seat, some in rather a bashful or embarrassed manner, it is true, but that soon ; wore off when I began telling a few conundrums Soon every one had a conundrum or joke to propose and -0 minutes and our lunches slipped away amid our laugh ing, talking and getting acquainted. The next day I had a story to tell which was ; freely discussed in a friendly, natural manner by the child ren and myself. Another day we talked of current events, etc, so the days of the first .moth passed away and our lunch' hours 'we're imleed pleasant ones, 1 A Conservative's Obejotion. When, at the close iof the allotted time, I broached the 'subject to the directors again, one man voiced the opinion of the board by complimenting me on the Order which I had obtained. but went on to explain in as tactful a .manner as possible that they had managed for years .without the ex pense of hot lunches at school, and they did not take much stock in these "new fangled ideas," ; that if the children learned their books they would probably have all they could manage, anyway. I outlined my Ideas as not preparing a whole lunch, but supplying only one hot dish such as soup, chocolate or baked potatoes, for Instance, to be served with their cold lunches, the principal part of the preparation t be done outside of school hours before' school and at the first recess. They finally gave their' consent to letting us try it out on condition that we finance the scheme ourselves. ; The first thing to do was to raise some money, which we accomplished by giv- months' trial I feel my plan has stood the test pretty well, s : Parents Express Interest. The parents have heard rather glow ing accounts of it, I'm sure, for I'm met on all sides with encouragement to carry it on and the directors are plan ning on building a kitchen for us next year. The girls and I have planned how, this summer, we will prepare some of our own winter stores in the way of canning and drying different kinds of fruits and vegetables. The boys will do their share by supplying us with , vegetables from tneir indi vidual home gardens.. From a teacher's standpoint I. think the hot lunch plan is one that can be worked out with profit in every rural school.
