Kaiser's Armor Is Bought by Picture Makers of America By Coirerml 8frkc) Berlin, Sept. 16. Two suits of tilting armor that were once a part of the great collection of the , former Ger man kaiser have been purchased here by an American art collector and were ahipped to New York this week. The price paid for the armor was la the neighborhood of 600,000 narks for each and what is amazing German art col lectors most is the fact that the pri mary use to which this "sacred" re minder of the warhood days will be put is the making of. a motion pic ture., ' . , . The armor Is' of the 15th century Maximilian, who was on the German uuuuv i me urov, aewrea to mut a suitable gift to Henry VIII f Eng. land unnn tH cinn a tK. marriage to Catherine of Argon, and wiiiunwLOKcu aiaeiuunier, tno lore most armorer of the world, to make the suit for the English king. , Henry VETX was so pleased -with It that he had Suasenhoffer make a sim ilar suit of armor for Charles Bras- of Henry's sister.

Pictures showing the beautiful hero ine escaping from bandits, who are .carrying; her away in an airplane, by Jumping from, -ahe plane to a fast moving train or being rescued from the Indians, just as she Js to be burned at the stake, by a brave cowboy are demanded by the Chinese audiences. According, to the representative of the Hepgkong Amusement company in Canton;" the Chinese are bored, to death by prolonged love-making scenes, and shocked by the extreme decollete and the airy-fairy draperies worn by wood nymph dancing maidens w"ith a wreath of flowers on their flowing tresses. The naughty vamp who wrecks a happy home does not bring a thrill to a Chinese audience. While pathetic pictures with plots woven around the prodigal son, the daughter who mar riea.. the villain to save the old home stead or the sweet country maiden who loves her cows and chickens and wins the heart of the millionaire clubman away from the blase women of the city by her simplicity will not produce interest let alone a tear or a hand clap. What the Chinese movie fan wants is action. He delights in thrilling dramas of adventure, narrow escapes from the claws of death, and he must have a happy ending where right tri umphs over wrong after many diffi culties. They are also very fond of come dies and have a keen sense of humor. They rock -with laughter over Charlie Chapljn, Harold Lloyd and Ben Tur pin pictures. Often the program for an afternoon or evening: performance will offer only comedies. Among the women -actresses espe cially popular in Canton are Ruth Ro land and Pearl White. In the lobby of the "Pearl theatre are highly colored posters illustrating three Rutlv Roland pictures which are to be shown In the near future. The thrilling- escapades set forth on the vivid billboards are a source of never-ending wonderment to the pros pective patrons who collect in front of the theatre to discuss the plot poten tialities suggested in the illustrations. The Pearl theatre is the one big movie house of Canton and the man agement is hoping to educate his audi ences to appreciate the five and seven reel features. As it is they now de mand only the long serial with grip ping continuous action and comedies. The management shows only American-made films, for the Chinese pre fer the American pictures to those made by the Knslish. French or Ital ian companies.

High Tariff Brings Paris Film "Famine: Attendance Slumps Paris, Sept. 16. The film famine has caused a slump in Paris moving picture attendance. Since the institution of the high tariff on American films 18 months ago new moving pictures have been at a premium in France and the few first class houses have been obliged to make up their programs from copies of proved successes. Leading American films start at the beat houses and go down the line just as in America until they reach the provincial and cheaper theatres. Then they return to the big houses and the circle is started all over again. The Mme. Margaret Matzenauer- World's ' greatest con- v f' - I-,- ft .--a . a .-:. ' : . .fa a M ' J Zi 'i'U ' A 4 .
