REPRODUCES ALL SOUNDS

From the New York Sun.
In the older days OF knockabout farce
the drummer in the orchestra used to
perform one stunt that never or hardly
ever failed to bring a smile to the faces
of the people in the audience.
When in some rough and tumble sketch
man on the stage was knocked down
to fall with what was described in the
newspapers as a dull thud the watchful
phasize the fall with a coincident swat
on the bass drum. That was about the
limit of orchestral aid to players on the
stage; but now, at least in the moving
picture shows, how different! At the
present time in such shows the move
ment seen on tn estage may be accom-
panied with variety Of sounds so great
as to make the old time smash on the
bass drum seem by comparison tame
and lonesome, and these sounds are all
produced by one man. the drummer.
When the moving picture shows had
begun to hit their stride great ingenuity
was exercised to give to them more real
istic effect. The acting was all In panto-
mime, II there could be produced to
accompany 1t sounds such as would be
heard in actual life the effect of the pic
lures would be materially heightened.
How successful these efforts have been
may be noted at any of the more adj
vanced picture shows of the present mo-
ment.

gets under way, and running into the
choo-choo, choo-choo as the train goes
faster and finally into the blur-r-r of ex-
hausts as the engine does when it is rum
ming at speed. Very natural and eff
fective is this steam exhaust business.
The drummer produces the chug chug or
the purr of an automobile In like man
ner.
In war scenes by the very simple de-
vice of fiat sticks and leather pad he
reproduces the crack of every rife; you
sea the smoke in the picture and you
really seem to hear the shots.
| Are two men more peacefully boxing
on the stage? You are made to hear every
! swat with the gloves. Is this scene
with waves ripping on a beach? You
! are made to hear the ripping of the
! waves as you may hear also, in another
picture, the sound OF brook running
| down q rocky steep.
! OF course, there are sleigh bells to be
rung IL In winter scene a sleigh dashes
across the stage. Is a bell rung in

| seen by the major part of the audience,

| cause the man who runs all these sounds
| has at the same moment pressed an cleo
trio button placed at his hand for just
| that purpose.
Or perhaps in some picture a caller

is reproduced in sound accompanying the
| dog realistically; and of course the own
| er's whistle is easy. In fact. there are
| few reproducible sounds that by the aid
| of his many helps in that direction the
| drummer does not venture to initiate to
| give life and realism to the picture.
Screams he gives you, and the crying of
babies; and. to come now from tears to
laughter, he can reproduce snoring in a
manner that must appeal to all, while his
very latest effort is shown in the most
lifeiike imitation of sneeze

HENRY GEORGE

The passing of the SEVENTEEN
anniversary of Henry Georges
birth, which has been or is about
to be celebrated at different places
in the United States, Great Brit
ain, and Australia, is an appro-
pirate time for recalling this mans
relation to the great social move
ment which is challenging the at
tention of the world. He was not
its leader. The movement is too
big and altogether too indefinite
and incoherent for leadership. No
one is its leader In the present
stage of its development no one
could be its leader. 1t may we'll
turn out in the end never to have
had leader. The worlds history
is without distinct record of q
movement 30 manifestly spontan-
eous in its impulses, 80 obviously
like an organism in it's growth.
Henry George did, indeed, con-
tribute to this movement; he con-
tributed to it tremendously. That
he was in and of the movement, no
one can with reason dispute. He
was in and of it 30 oonspicuously
as to seem to hosts of disciples the
world over to have been its leader.
But this is true of other men who
have contributed oonspicuously to
the social movement; they also
seem to their disciples to be rid
ing on the crest of its tidal wave.
There can be, however, no supreme
individual leadership in a move.
ment 20 heterogeneous in its ele.
ments.
TO this social movement Henry
George contributed as preacher;
his eloquent appeals made his con-
temporaries feel, make new men
feel, will make men Of the future
feel, the spirit Of its impulses, the
glorious possibilities of its devel.
opment.
More than preacher, he was a
strategist, disclosing the place of
vantage, the line Of least resist
ance toward the emancipation Of
mon.
More than preacher and strate.
gist, he was an engineer, planning
for the movement u resistless pro.
pulsion.
Among its prophets be rose
highest and looked farthest.
But what the possibilities Of this
movement arc in all its scope,
neither he in his time nor any one
in ours can tell. It cannot be de.
scribed. We cannot even name it
aptly.-The Public.

AN OFFICIAL EDITORIAL

We adopt as an editorial the
following extract from the four
tenth annual report of the New
York State Prison Commission,
dated February %, 1909: "a boy
had recently been discharged on
parole from the Rochester Indus
trial School and had been en-
ployed during the fall and early
winter by a farmer, who did not
need his services for the balance
of the winter and let him go. The
boy started out to find other work,
which is not always easy to do in
the dead of winter in the country.
He was picked up by an overzeal-
GUS constable, who took him before
a rural Justice who adjudged him
a vagrant and sent him to the
county Jail for six months, which
would keep him in prison the en-
tire spring and part of the summer.
Very few county judges would
allow such a commitment to stand
if they had jurisdiction over it and
the matter was brought to their
attention. We read about such
oppression in some distant foreign
lands and execrate the govern
ments that permit or cause them,
ignorant or unmindful of the con-
ditions existing in our own state.
Police officials should not be per-
mitted to arrest citizens simply
because they are without work
and without money, and magis-
trates should not be permitted to
send such people to prison"

TREE PLANTING TALK.

Chickasha needs several thousand
more beautiful trees along her streets
and avenues. 1t is a good subject for
constant agitation. Here are some
pertinent suggestions from the Texas
press;
Nothing could possibly contribute
more to the beauty Of Brownwood in
proportion to the outlay Of time and
money than a systematic effort to
place and care for shade trees along
every street in the residence section
of Brownwood. There is still time to
get busy, but not much time merely to
think about it.-Brownwood Bulletin.
Beautiful lawns and well-kept flower
gardens fronting streets lined with
shade trees will do more to give a
stranger a good opinion of a city than
an avenue of stately mansions with
out the trees and The flowers. In truth,
treeless city can never become a
beautiful city, and the more trees the
prettier the city. In San Antonio
some years ago a few patriotic cit-
zens subscribed a fund to furnish trees
for planting along one of the main
strees of the city, simply requiring the
owners Of the property to agree to
care for them. The cost was slight
as native hackberries were used To-
day this driveway is one of the pretti-
est in the south and is listed among
the special attractions of that beauti-
full city. Here's suggestion for other
Texas cities OF course, It is not to
be expected that the public will under
take to supply trees to everyone, but
by selecting one important street and
having It lined with trees an example
is set that will be followed by resi-
dents on other streets.-Fort Worth
Record.
