The apictnre Sense

To travel constantly up and down this
old world Of ours, and regardless Of time
or expense collect and concentrate into
one programme all that will incite your
interest, wonder and amusement this
is the unique vocation OF Lyman II.
Howe, who will show his new programme
Of moving pictures at the opera house

Time, patient research and money in
themselves are not enough to insure the
success he has achieved A knowledge of
the public taste. a knowledge of what
is really interesting and what is not,
what to take and what TO ignore, is
absolutely necessary in the collection Of
a programme that must BE uniformly
and universally interesting. Mr.. Howe's
many years OF experience as an exhibitor
annually 20 over a million people, has
surely qualified him as perhaps no other
exhibitor is qualified. However, even
knowledge gained by experience does not
suffice. No one can achieve success as

through our lines.
One morning when l was in charge
of picket post young girl came into
the lines with basket OF butter on
one arm and basket of eggs on the

small plantation just without our lines
