MOVING PICTURES.

HHOMAs A. EDISON, the noted inventor
L thinks that the educational possibilities of
moving pictures are very great, and that they could
serve TO instruct men and women and children
well as TO amuse them
Moving pictures have come to stay There is
no sign Of any diminishing popularity, and they
are becoming more elaborate day by day. They
furnish cheap pleasure to the people. The NOV
ing picture theatres being made more COM
fortable and they draw crowds in summer as well
as in winter Because of their popularity some re-
formers have thought that danger TO the young
lurked in the shows because Of the presentations
of crime scenes and the like, and in some places
there are censorS
Mr. Edison thinks that the moving pictures could
be used to teach geography and history. Many
children find it difficult to study such topics in the
manner usually followed. How few retain fair
knowledge of history and geography and similar
subjects for even few years after they have stud
led them No doubt these subjects could be en-
tertainingly taught by means of moving pictures.
Historical scenes could be presented and important
geographical points made clear. There could be
representations of great historical events.
In fact moving picture instruction would be but
an extension of illustrated history and teachers
know how fond children of illustrated histories.
1t is said that the mechanical difficulties in the way
of lifelike presentations of historical matters are
being overcome one by one
Pictures can never take the place of a certain
kind of dogmatic teaching, but they can become
valuable adjunct to ordinary instruction. No
child would want to miss the moving picture lee
ture. Pictures might be used in teaching classes
in cvics.
What an entertaining and imposing picture ali
the generals and colonies in Delaware would make
and what an attractive figure the three hundred
handsome men of Dover headed by General Ken
ney and the State News folk would be. A moving
picture of General duPonss operations in the
state road project would be interesting and surely
a moving picture that portrayed the shock that
must have come over the crowd in the Sussex Court
House when the Judges found guilty of
attempted vote buying would be presentation
that might be used with effect during political
campaign TO show the fate likely to overtake vote
buyers.

NEW MEMS OF YESTERDAY
Three Famous Hamlets
That Violated Tradition
BY Holland.

How should the character Of Ham
let be portrayed upon the stage? That
is a question that has been a more or
less bothersome one ever since
Shakespeare's day.
The traditional Hamlet is a dark
haired, dark-skinned, black-robed fell
low lean of body and smooth of jowl
and chin. Yet there have been several
instances of striking stage variations
from this presentation.
Recently j told the story Of how
Charles Fechter, who won great rep
utation as an actor, first in France,
then in England and finally in this
coutry, where he came in 1870, was
led to portray Hamlet as a blond
through the hearty support and APP
prevail of his good friend, Charles
Dickens. Fechter's argument was that
the Danes have always been a light
haired. fair-skinned people, therefore,
Hamlet was of that type; and Dickens
agreed thoroughly with Fechter, whose
blond Hamlet created a great furore
both in this country and in England,
where Fechter first played the part in
the sixties.
While Fechter's is the most note
worthy blond Hamlet in the history
OF the American stage, perhaps Beer
bohm Trees takes second place IN that
respect. Tree, when he came to study
the part accepted Fechter's conception
of the physical appearance of Hamlet
as the correct one, and accorded Fech-
ter high praise for venturing TO por-
tray Hamlet as a blond, against all
stage traditions
But said Mr.. free, at the time II
his visit to this country, about twen-
~ years ago, 81 went somewhat fur
Their in my presentation of Hamlet
than Fechter did While carefully
studying the play / discovered that
Shakespeare depicts Hamlet as having
worn beard, and beard / therefore
added to my makeup"
But, Mr.. Tree, where does Shake
speare give Hamlet a beard?" one Of
his auditors asked
Il refer you to these lines in the Sec
ond scene Of the second act of the play,
where Hamlet is speaking" said Mr..
Tree:
" Am l coward? Who calls me viii
lain?
Breaks my pate across? Plucks off ny
beard,
And blows it in my faceY
Il also felt that | was justified IN
following Shakespeare's delineation by
making up Hamlet as a fat man." con-
tinued Mr.. Tree. "Fechtsr did not have

PARCELS POST.

= ONE of the leaders in Congress shy at the
- parcels post plan, and they propose to satisfy
the clamor for the enactment of law providing
for the parcels post by suggesting that the rail-
roads be forced to carry packages as is now done
by the express concerns.
The Democratic leaders fear the Capitalization
tendency of the parcels post, but that kind of
argument could be used against the present post
office. A resolution has been introduced into Con-
gress calling for an investigation of the relations
between the express companies and the railroads.
The inquiry will be conducted If the House passes
the resolution with a view to ascertaining the
capitalization of the express companies, the pres
ent market value of their stocks and the amount
of capital actually invested in the business.
An attempt will be made to find out whether
the companies are using any Of their vast wealth
in an effort TO balk the agitation for a parcels
post. Mr.. Burleson, of Texas, who is actively
pushing the resolution declares that the express
companies we're organized for the purpose of en-
abling the big men of the railroad corporations to
get something on the side" and it is common
report that the railroad magnates own or control
considerable express stock.
The Texas member says that the express inter-
ests constitute a form Of graft the people"
and he sees no reason why the express companies
should exist in view of the fact that the railroads
are amply equipped TO supply the express service
under,proper regulation by the government. Rather
odd that those who object to the centrazing tens
dency of parcels post should favor increased gov
ernmental activity such as would follow the Gov
ernments interference with the railroads to such
an extent as to require them to add an express
service to their transportation business.
The express companies are likely to fight the
proposal of Mr., Bureson harder than they have
fought the parcels post and as they are presumed
to have made a mighty strong fight against the
parcels post, they would be able TO block such
legislation the Texan proposes. The practical
effect of it all would be to delay giving the people
any kind of relief from the exactions of the ex-
press companies.
