"Will you walk into zee

The fact that the floor was
bare, the furniture the simplest
business type and the place a
picture factory slipped from my
mind as ALICE BLACHE, the
only woman owner, president,
manager and producer of NOV
ing picture concern in this coun-
try, bowed me in.
Nine. Blache, the founder of
the Solax Co. at Fort Lee, N. j.,
is a gentlewoman with a draw
ing room personality and a mans
mind for business.

when l asked her to tell me about
her work.
And with her own happy &C

ago." as private secretary to
Gaumont, the French picture
manufacturer. The technical
and the artistic side of the in
dustry pleased her. She studied
it and became thoroughly con-
versant with every phase.
Dan Cupid brought about an
introduction between the French
girl and Herbert Blache, who
was then the London representa-
tive of the Gaumont Co.
They were married. Herbert

picture company, which, by the
way, Is situated on a little hif
over on the picturesquely wooded
side in Jersey.
There's an atmosphere OF
smoothness and suavity about
the place which is readily traced
to it's manager.
But this isn't all there is to
say about the Solax president.
She knows every part of the
manufacture and production of
pictures from A to 2.
l had the opportunity to prove
this, if proof were necessary, as
l sat in the big studio watching
her direct a picture.
When the scenes were set, the
actors ready and the camera
man in position, she slipped into

up to the camera and squinted
through the focusing glass.

|
At the Circuit theater today a
film showing the treachery of a
woman for whose love a young
man took the downward path,
and finally landed in prison, is
shown for the first time in Ia
coma.
A young spendthrift, after hav-
ing spent his last dollar, is cast
aside by his gambling house girl.
She threatens him with a pistol
when he reproaches her, and in
trying to seize the weapon it is
accidentally discharged, wound
| ing her. She accuses him of at
tempted murder, and he is SEN
| fenced to prison for ten years.
After five years he is released on
| parole, which he breaks, and
then changes his name. He mar
ries a girl who knows nothing of
his past life. The other girl is
| now running a gambling saloon.
She seems him and tells the po-
lice to come to her place if they
want to get a convict who has
broken his parole. They come,
but she has gone insane, and
they pay no attention to her.
Later, on her death-bed, she re-
penis.

ANOTHER step IN

Bid of Banks for the Sharp
Property Is Opened by
Administrator.

Another step toward the building OF a
new slSyscraper on Main street was
taken yesterday. when Parloy l. VII
llams, administrator In tho estate OF the
late John Sharp, opened the bid Of the
Dcseret Savings and National banks for
the property adjoining the headquarters
OF these institutions As exclusively re-
ported In The Tribune. II la intended TO
demolish the present buildings and erect
another about fourteen stories high. This
was the understanding among the d.
rectors OF the two banks before ARA nge-
ments were made with the executors OF
Mr. Sharp's Will to purchase the prop
erty.
AS previously reported. the price
agreed upon was nearly $4,000 per front
foot. The exact figures were S2s5To3. or
s65 900 for the whole. This was the only
bid received. The property has a front
age Of about 222 feet. The opening OF the
bid precludes the possibility that any
but the banks VIII make the purchase,

necessary before tho deed Is signed.

BILL PROVIDES FOR
BOXING COMMISSION
Measure Will Be introduced
in House Within a
Few Days.

A bill will be presented in the house
within a few days, probably by Kricbel
of Salt Lake, providing for the creation
OF a state boxing commission. The law
would follow the New York statute,
which provides for a state boxing com
mission with power to appoint sub
commissions In various places The
commissions have absolute control over
all boxing and wrestling matches and
prescribe conditions under which they
may be held
Mr.. kriebel believes that n boxing
commission in Utah would for all time
put q stop 10 fake boxing matches or
wrestling matches and that Il would
throw such safeguards about those bouts
that would be held as to protect the pub
lie In every Instance. For example, the
commissions approval would be neces-
sary to any boxing matches. In that
way pugilists evenly matched could be
pltted against each other and the meal
ticket prize fighter could ba elimlnat ted
because no matches with that class OF
boxer as principal would ever be
"a sanctioned.

Boy Greatest Asset.

The greatest asset to any farmer is
his boy. IT is n reerettablc thing that
there are so many boys who are never
given proper consideration for one
moment. II tho majority OF the farm
ers would give as much thought to
the development of the boy as they
do 10 the development OF their cows.
horses, hogs: etc. they would be
reaping 100 per cent more profit from
their farms and the equipment that
goes TO make up farm life. The boy
must receive attention, he must be
encouraged he must be recognized,
he must be well fed and well clothed
so that he viii be In n position TO
= contribute good service.
When good honest effort IS put
forth there should be a disposition
to recognize that effort because OF
the underlying principle that has
chara acterized II. When we have con-
vinced the boy that his work Is COM
plimentary and worthy Of praise, he
begins to take interest, and the next
time he Is given work 10 do there
lie shows more strength OF charac-
ter. He begins to like his work.
and when his energies have been di-
rectcd 10 n point where he loves his
work then we are getting the right
kind Of profit from his labors; we
have established a confidence. the
proper kind Of cooperation. and the
relationship is one OF snutual good.
Until we can arrive at this point In
the directing and developing a
boy we are not realizing the amount
OF profit from our farms that we oth-
erwisc should and could.
