How would you like to see motion pictures of industries of town which, six years ago, was a dismal swamp, but which today can equip an empire?
 Such, in brief is the interesting history of Gary, Ind, and the great est moving pictures of fn industrial nature, a feature that every man, wo- man and child should see for the les son in industry and progress that it contains, will be shown as a special feature at the Princess theater Tues day.
 There has never been a city in the United States that has made the great progress that Gary, Ind, has, and the wonderful part about this town is that the development has just started. The first house was erected there June, 1906, and one month later it was or ganized as town. It became a city of the fifth class in October, 1909, and year later moved into the fourth class of municipalities. The popula- ton of Gary, January l, 1907, was 5.550, and in December, 1910, it had grown to 23,000. Last year there were 2,000 buildings erected in Gary The estimated cost of them was ten million dollars In six years the swamps gave way to 19 miles of ma eadam streets and 34 miles of paved streets, to say nothing of 25 miles of sewers and 35 miles of cement side. walks.
 Sixty millions of dollars have been expended in Gary to date, with forty millions of dollars worth of more plants to be erected. Nine thousand men are employed in Gary's steel mills, with 5000 men assisting in the construction of the new industries. There is one steel company that oc- cupies lake frontage of seven miles The capacity of the Gary coke ovens in 1910 was 5000 tons daily, and it's steel mills turned ont 165 On0 tons monthly. Its tin plate plant IS the largest in the world. Its schools can not be surpassed The foregoing and all other sndustrial features are con. tained in two reels of motion pictures which will be shown at the Princess Tuesday.
 A reporter for the Sentinel-Record had the pleasure of witnessing these pictures after the matinee yesterday afternoon and listening to the very entertaining lecture delivered by Wes- ley Ansley, of Ansley and Young, who thought so much of that dear Gary" that they called on one of the moving picture companies to make 2,000 feet of film of all that Gary had accomplished and what it intend ed to do, the latter of which is shown in the pictures of the industries now being erected there.
 The people of Hot Springs never saw better pictures than the reels pertaining to Gary.
 That city is going to be the Pitts burg of the West" said MT. Ansley. Why, just think of it. the youngest kid in Gary is older than the town. That is our slogan; it shows what we are doing, and there will be pleas ant surprise for the patrons of the Princess when the pictures of Gary are thrown on the screen"
 There will also be shown as pre- lude to the moving pictures, several stereopticon slides, which depict the scenes of the swamps of Gary six years ago; also pictures of the first house built there, the early arrivals and other Interesting features that in- dustrial Gary in it's great progress has buried beneath it's monster steel mills and modern buildings.
