A Growing Industry.

The first moving picture theatre was opened about three years ago in Pittsburg, Pa. Today we have over 10000 in the United States employing over 60,O00 people. When we came to Clifton a year ago we were asked how long we were going to remain. We said we were going to camp here for good. The wise ones gave us two months to leave town. Moving pictures are like any other business. To make a success you have to keep up with the times. The trouble with a great many people is that they think all they have to do is to get a cheap machine and start up business for themselves.
 The first and most important thing to do is to find out where you are at. Don't let some cheap Film Renter bunCo you into uSeing old worn out Stutf, for that Is dear at any price. Remember good things come high.
 Since March lst, 1908, there are only seven Licensed Manufacturers in existence. If d man tells you that he is an operator ask him to show you his license. Since April lst, 1908, all operators of moving picture ma chimes must pass an eXdmInation and De licensed. 1t is the man behind the gun that does the work. All parties useIng anything but licensed pictures are subject to d fine.
 We are at the present time using the entire output of the Pathe Frere- Edison and The American Vitagraph Co. What we show here is the best that money can buy. You see none better in New York, Chi Cago, Paris or London, and as long as we remain here in Clifton you can rest assured that We will continue to give you the best as well as the latest out.

THE HINDOO FAKIR.
His Patience and Skill In the Bag an
Spear Trick

His Patience and Skill In the Bag and
Spear Trick.
The feat known as the bag and spear
trick has been considered one of the
greatest of the Hindoo magician's art.
In this trick, says writer, the Hindoo
fakir has his assistant get into sack,
the mouth of which he firmly secures,
and then unceremoniously hurls his
helpless victim to the grouEd. With
out a sign of warning the fakir drives
his spear through the center of the
bag.
After withdrawing his weapon, upon
the point of which no blood stain ap-
pears. the fakir stands and gazes
dreamily over the heads of the specta-
tors. The body within the bag foun-
ders about as if in mortal agony. At
last. when the occupant is apparently
dead the fakir again plunges his spear
into the motionless body. The same
antics are repeated. Then the fakir
releases his attendant from the bag,
and he steps out without a scratch
upon his body.
Although the trick is performed with
all the carelessness imaginable, it calls
for more patience, skill and exactness
than any of the called black art
achievements. From the time the at
tendant enters the bag both fakir and
assistant count every breath they take.
When stated number of breathS have
been taken the fakfr makes his thrust,
and the occupant in the bag is pre-
pared to avoid it. Then the count be-
gins again, and at the proper time the
spear is driven through the bag a
second time. In order to evade the
spear and make it appear to pass
through his body the assistant doubles
up in as small form as possible His
legs are drawn up close, with the chin
resting upon the knees and the arms
folded round the lower limbs across
the shins. When in this position. at
the tiftieth breath. the spear passes
under the attendants arms between
the abdomen and the thighs.
The slightest characterization by either
the fakir or his assistant would mean
serious if not mortal wound for
one and an unheard of disgrace for the
other.
That fakir and attendant are able so
to train themselves to breathe il per.
feet unison while giving one of these
performances, when the slic htest varia-
ton in time by either would be fatal
is certainly wonderful.
