NE WYOiyt, Feb. 16. Thomas" A.
Edison Inst night attended a dinner
given in his honor at the Rltz-Carl-ton
by the motlun picture industry,
but instead of speaking, handed his
prepared Bpeech to his secretury to
read. It contained u, bit of udvice
and a bit of humor.
"A tendency toward stage fright
which has prevented me from becom
ing a dungerous rival of Fairbanks or
Valentino, coupled with my extreme
doufness, makes It Impossible for me
to speak in public," he jjrote. "I be
hove, as I always have believed that
you control the moat powerful instru
ment in the world for good or evil. .
"Hecausc I was working before
most of you were born. I um going
to bore you with a little advice. Re
member thut you are servants of the
public and do not let the desire for
money or power prevent you from giv
ing the public the best work of which
you are capable.
"It is not the quantity of riches
that counts; It's the quality which
produces happiness, where that is
possible. "
The inventor was lauded by Will
Hays, Hudson Maxim, Geo. Eastman,
Rupert Hughes and others and after
the speaking program was finished
Douglas Fairbanks and Mary l'iek
ford were catted upon for tributes.
Mr. Edison were so nleased with
MIhs Pickford's little speech that he
hurried over to her table and wrote
on her program: "To Mary Plckford,
the darling of America."
The guests saw projections of two
of the first motion pictures ever pro
duced, both by Sir. Edison In 18S5,
one, "The Kiss," being merely slap
stick school, and the other "The
Great Train Robbery." a thriller out
of a paper bound novel.
