Harold J. Binney, noted producer,

There are thousands of movie

scores of these Mans believe tney

Harold J. Binney will be per

he will offer a candid opinion con
cerning the ability of each

Members of the cast will be se

applies will be given an opportun

A glance over the record of Mr.
Binney will assure those fans, not
acquainted with his history in the
movie world, that he is well quali
fied to pass on their merits. Four
teen years ago Mr. Binney began
his motion picture career ana
since that time he has been actor,
author, director and producer.
Worked With Sennett.
It was In the old original Bio

first was introduced to the movie-
going public. With Mack Benneu
he left Biograph and went to ios
Angeles where he remained as an
actor and director for Mack Ben
nett for six and a half years. Dur
ine- this time he appeared with
such stars as Ford Sterling, Mabel

STAGE GRANTED
LICENCE TO RUN
Monmouth, Or., .May 4. The
city council at its regular meeting
Tuesday voted to grant a fran
chise to the Salem stage, owned by
W. Parker, to operate In the
city. According to the terms or
the franchise Mr. Parker will pay
an annual fee of $273.76, will be
required to establish a terminal
and deliver passengers and bag
gage there. This 1b the first fran
chise to be granted under the
terms of a recent city ordinance
compelling al stage lines operat
ing in the city to obtain a fran
chise.
The measure is said to be the
result of competition between the
Salem stage and the Derby bus,
which carries passengers and mall
between Monmouth and Independ
ence. When tne ueroj dus rai
the fare to Independence to 20
cents the Salem stage refused to
follow suit. The city trucksters
are also interested In the measure,
as tbe Parker bus delivers baggage
as well as passengers to any point
the city, thus depriving mem
of collecting 50 cents for a short
haul. The Salem" stage has been
