The educational feature, which 1
look to sweep over the country like
tornado, consists in a historic explana-
ton of each moving picture. Hereto
fore L have contented myself, with
others. in simply giving the name of
the picture and letting the audience
figure the rest out for themselves.
Under the new idea history can be
done away with in the public schools
and the children sent to my exhibitions
instead. In showing my pictures 1 in
variably start off with that of Column
bus. and I now add:
This is the picture of CHRISTOPHER
Columbus. He had no middle name and
no bank account. He was simply a poor
gentleman who had an idea that only
part of the world had been discovered.
He wanted to set out and discover the
rest. and find something new in the
way of breakfast foods. but for a long
time Mrs. Columbus refused to give
her consent. She was finally prevail
ed upon and away he went. His COW
died while he was away, and pigs got
into his garden and his hired girl quit
her job. but he sailed on and on and
finally came across America and COB
bled up all the best farms and corner
lots. 1t was a good thing for him and
for US. He became a hero, and we
were found, and we went right to work
to make the country what it Is today"

Washington I formerly held it 80 sec

step forward and explain:
This is the immortal Washington.

saw that King George had formed

the game. He was our first president,
and succeeded himself. Many of the old
wheel-horses of today sigh as they look
back and think what heap of grating
there might have been in his eight
years had politicians then known how
to work the game. 1t may come your
way some day to suffer for your coun-
try as Washington did. and if it does
1t is hoped there will be no kicking
about 1t. Washington cannot be forgot
ten by a grateful country. Too many
steamboats, and fire companies have
been named after him for that to hap
pen"
The next picture is that of the signing
of the Declaration of independence.
Many and many time 1 have passed
1t so hurriedly along that most of the
audience took 1t for a gathering of pol
