Original Dreadnane-ht Sold London, Sept. o. The original i Jattleshlp Dreadnaught, - which revolutionized naval warfare, hasi een sold at Forsyth dockyard to firm of ship-breakers for 176,-fOO. While the public hag been cen tering its attention largely upon the development of the feature photo-play, notably progress has been made on another side of, the film businesst he development ol educational and industrial films. From crude beginnings a few years ago, this branch of screen art has advanced to where it is now comparable with the dra matic. In the opinion of some students in and out of the industry, this forward movement is even more signifcant than that which has brought the motion picture play from the wild west thrillers of nickelodeon days to the artistic productions of today. In evidence of the tsrides which the industrial and educational film is making Is the fact that capable feature-play directors are leaving that field to devote their efforts to the other. Among the latest to do this was Arthur Berthelet. who packed up his bag in Hollywood some months ago and boarded a train for Chicago, where he has since been turning out films which haven't required that the final fade out show the usual kissing clinch. What direction such as Berthe- let's is .able to accomplish in his new field is shown by a series of four-minute films produced for the Willard Storage Battery company of Cleveland. "It is quite the usual thing" says Berthelet "to say of almost any branch of endeavor which isn't more than a quarter century old that it is just in its Infancy, but I believe this applies with more than ordinary force to the Industrial and educational side of the films. There are great things ahead in this branch of work, and happily this fact is com ing t o be recognized." "Certain of my friends tried to dissuade me from leaving feature play directing, just as a few years ago they argued with me not to leave the stage for the pictures. It wasn't long before most of thern saw the bigger opportunity in the films, and it will not be long be fore they see that there's some thing in this educational film work they didn't perceive." rooms and disorderly houses.' This warning was received by the Rev. E. R. Overly, of this city, known as the "fighting parson." For several weeks he has been re counting Sunday after Sunday from his pulpit the things he learned in a visit to alleged resorts within a stone's throw of the Campbell county, court house. Despite threats, Overly declares he will continue his crusade until officials take it up. He hag invit ed the men of th echurch to ac company him on his next tour of Inspection. Silk Stocking Famine Felt in the South Savannah, Ga., Sept. u. With a high demand for only the best, the women of this city are today facing the greatest shortage in silk stockings In local history, ac cording to merchants, who claim strike conditions in the North make it impossible to secure enough silk hose to meet the in creasing demand. Merchants say the women do notcare for cotton or lisle thread but demand full-fashioned silk. They claim the mock fashion hose will not do because of the baggy qualities encountered about the calf. The shortage particularly ap plies to white hose. Local women do not favor the halt hose, it is claimed. Minister Warned to Stop His Crusade Newport, Ky., Sept.' o.
