duction has been speeded up. -." The de
mand for instruments is always- tn ex

remark it was wonderful, and he wished
he had a copy of the film of himself and
the .baby. Can you , accommodate him?

-"G. R. Ainsworth."
Of course,' Pathe could and did
promptly respond as desired. And now
Governor Cox can screen : himself and
the baby as often as he likes, in his own
house.' .',.'
' . Governor Cox was' already on record
as to the value of the News Weekly.. In
connection with a film celebration held
some months- ago, - the governors of 38
statea sent messages' or appreciation.
Governor-. Cox wrote tr The" remarkable
development ; of . motion t- picture photog
raphy has been given no better exposi

events In the. making. The future of
the field is unlimited."
"The- late .Colonel Theodore Roosevelt

. Back at the Critic - -
The dramatic critic of a certain Amer
ican monthly, who is given to making
blunt remarks about plays and players,
said not so long ago-in print that Otis
Skinner and Miss Grace George divide
the honor Of being the best pickers of
bad plays in the United States. Re
cently this same critic finished "work on
a comedy and published it. Not many
weeks passed. according to an . item
in Drama, before he received this wire
frbm Miss George : r "If Mr. Sklivaer has
not yet bought rights to your new play

Call of Circus
Is Heard
Abroad .
A ALGIERS, Africa, July 31 -(L'N S.)
X, The call of the tanuark and the
big! top is making its appeal : to the
Moorish, Arabian and Berber -acrobats,
riders and . snake eaters who. s released
from the French army, are how anxious
to coma back to America, j , . . ; ,
.The American' consular authorities and
shipping masters are deluged daily with
appeals from, members j of itinerant
Moorish ' circuses who want ' to ship to
America. Most of them have saved up
a few francs while doing their stunts in
the oases of the Sahara, .nut a steam
ship ticket to America'costs about twice
what it did before the warj tv
" Most of the Moorish and ! Arab circus
men have had experience with, big Amer
ican circuses. A large ' number were
mobilised during the war" and saw serv
ice in France. - Owing tor disturbances
among- the wilder tribes deep in the
Sahara. they were not demobilised , at
onfco - upon arriving ; in lAlgerla , and
Tunisia, but were sent south from Biskra
and Toggort. from ; Figulg and from
Morocco in order to quell the outbreak!
In the interior, , .
. Upon being discharged from the anr
the circus men banded tepf ther mit
played the tourist towns of Alp! i .
Tunis. Kalrouan, Biskra and the l: ' i
resorts . near Tunis! and Algrlers. Witt
their earnings they hoped to be able.tc

been disappointed., f ..
A number of American circus men
have picked up the best of the tumblm,
as well as several of the fattest woi.'. n
of Tunis, which hasj been noted for cen
turies for its fat jwomen. Some Amis
