Among these were William A. Brady, who has contracts to produce plays in London and New York, and Mary Nash, who is to appear in London. Maggie Teyte, the opera singer, sailed td"Xulflll London engagements. There were'also Maxim Paths and Adolph Zukor of the film world. Zukor, who is president of the Famous Players-Lasky corporation, left to open In London, on April 1, a huge studio which will make the first British made photoplay for American distribution, Marie Corelll's "Sorrows of Satan." These British studios will make pictures of English life, to be shown In the the atres of the United States, which will give Americans, through the films, the same knowledge of England that the American films shown here give con cerning America. "The moving picture is the only me dium that can bring about a better un derstanding between the American and English people," said Zukor. "It now' seems possible, by this inter change of ideas through the photoplay, to cause the two great divisions of the Anglo-Saxon race to think as one. I wish to do my part toward bringing the people of the world closer together, and it is to bring England closer to the United States that the British produc tions are to be made." I don't know but I alms ter last long enough ter stand up with ye first" The terrible mistake was righted in the end and Bearcat and Blossom ful filled the prophesy made on the moun tainside that summer evening: "When I've done something worth doin" an' when ye're a leetle bit older yourself.
