Moving Picture Show
With Society Acters

The younger set Of Capital society is
enthusiastically discussing a new plan
for raising money for various charities
IN which it is interested.
Some one Of their number has con-
ceived the brilliant idel OF arranging
for a moving picture show for which
society will pose. It will be the first
time society shall have posed for the
moving picture camera
For the last TWO seasons society has
taken part in plays each winter. under
The auspices of the Dramatic Club. but
there are a number OF girls and men
who feel that they cannot recite lines,
but that their expressions and gestures
would suit them for a performance Of
this sort.
Each Play
Takes Twenty Minutes.
Each movinE-picture play takes about
twenty minues-so a comedy, a drama,
and a costume play would. with in
teroolations of other acts in between,
make up a novel entertainment.
The performers could then have the
rare chance of seeing themselves as
others sec them
The scheme bids fair TO prove excep-
uOnalIy successful, as the films could
be leased out I'm the same manner as
are the films Of professional plays after
the nTst week in WaShingrO---
Exceptional advantages Of setting and
scenery are to be found in and around
Washington. Some unusually attractive
exterior and interior views OF the homes
Of those IN the cast could be obtained
and. perhaps. even some historical spots
not otherwise exposed to the camera.

second and third on earth. and the
fourth, is again in the moon. whence

Touching, but no novelty. When
mighty Amir and his Moslem hosts
overthrow Egypt and made all north
ern Africa stronghold of Allah and
his prophet, they camped on the east
bank of the Nile, opposite the ancient
capital, Memphis, until they had
licked the defenders of that ten-miles-
wide and twenty-miles-long city.
When Amir had finished he thought
of moving into the fine town across
