Picture Players a
Social Addition

social AdoiIlon
The Lubin Motion Picture company

from dispatches received from other
cities where this company has been
located AS a matter Of entertain
ment this company win prove to be
a great benefit. The making of pic
lures naturally arouses the average
idividual to become inquisitive and
curious ones will no doubt flock to
the studio quarters each day that the
work is in progress. Then the re
appearance Of the scenarios in the
local picture theaters will add greatly
to the attraction. It is quite probable
the managers of the local theaters
will make arrangements that the pic
tures be shown in Las Vegas as soon
as they are developed in Philadel
phia, the headquarters Of the Lubin
company. The other side Of the prop
osition will doubtless be the Las

where this company had been station

received the attention of the best so

be repeated on larger scale in Las

events will be given to show these
visitors that Las Vegas society is
alive.
