MOVING PICTURE
men ARE HERE
REPRESENTATIVES OF TWO
MOVING PICTURE CONCERNS IN
CITY TO TAKE PICTURES OF
SPECTACULAR EVENTS ToMoR-
ROW AND SATURDAY..

Two moving picture men. represent
atives Of the Laemmle Film service
and the noted Pathe Co. are in Fargo
with their moving picture machines
to catch the spectacular events that
will be featured tomorrow and Satur-
day in the city in connection with
Home coming week. .a.....
A. L. Kimball, a pleasant young gen.
tleman of Minneapolis, arrived in the
city this morning and is being shown
about the city by George Fowler, pres
has secured the services Of the
Laemmle Film CO., for the making
here Of two or more moving pictures
Of the big doings in this city which
will include the big Shriners' parade
of tomorrow as we'll as the big civic
parade for Saturday which is to COM
memorate the great fire of June 7,
1898, just twenty years ago.
Mr. Kimball is one of the expert
men of the company and he proposes
to give Manager Fowler and the people
of Fargo the very best that can be
taken, having had years Of experience
in the work. The company, through
Mr.. Fowler, has made a contract
which will send these pictures through
the agencies of Des Moines, Ia,
Omaha, Neb.. and the Minneapolis ex-
change, which insures Fargo Of getting
great display and advertising all over
the country. for 1t Is believed that in
addition to these three big exchanges
others will desire the pictures and this
will be that much additional
The making Of these pictures is
something that requires great deal
Of skill. For instance. the pictures Of
the 1000 or more feet OF reels are not
all taken at one time, but are taken at
different places so as to get the very
best views obtainable. These will con-
tain big views Of the city, and among
them is fine picture of the Masonic
temple with its lights all going. An
other will be a picture of The Forum
office with it's employees standing in
front, and different other places of in
terest Pictures will be taken of the
best sights can be had. When all
these have been obtained, Mr.. Kim
ball will take with him to the studios
in the twin cities, all of the films and
exposures and these will be placed to-
gether in one big reel and will. by the
work of artists, be made into COM
prehensive pictures which will be sure
to please. Just as soon as possible the
pictures will be sent out to the differ
ent exchanges and then over the coun-
try. In fact, it is stated that there
will be nearly il not quite 1000 moving
picture show houses that will exhibit
them. The work of bringing Mr. Kim
ball here for the Laemmle Co. has
been Of great expense and the greater
part Of this was borne by the Fargo
Theatrical Co., whose enterprise has
been shown on many other occasions.
1t is needless to say that the pictures
will be shown at. the Orpheum in the
very near future.
Pathe Man Here.
B. f.. Strutmann also arrived In the
city last evening and he is actively en-
gagged in the work of taking views and
moving pictures for the great Pathe
Co. which is one Of the greatest Of
the moving picture concerns, and he
expects to- get some Of the finest pic
lures that have ever been made on
the American continent. His company
has men all over the world.
The hundreds of play houses served
by this company will use these films
which will greatly advertise Fargo. 1T
is also more than likely that these
pictures will be shown across the wat
er and an extra effort will also be
made to send the film to Norway and
Sweden. In fact there is no way that
this city could have had such an
advertisement. The work of taking
pictures will go on today, tomorrow
and Saturday. .8s ss s
The Pathe pictures are shown ex-
elusiyely ait the Bijou and in time Far
so citizens will have the opportunity
of seeing these scenes in the popular
little play house owned by j. III. Treat
and his son; Walter Treat.
