Wall From Frenlh Jurvmen.

In France, as well as in England.
jurymen have their grievances. The
latest can easily be renedied. The
French minister of justice has re-
ceived an address signed by citizens
figuring on the Paris jury lists. pro-
testing against the bare appearance
of the courts where they have to sit.
They point out that if-tired of look
ing at the judges, counsel, witnesses
and other parties TO suit-they turn
their eyes upon the walls, nothing but
an inartistic paper meets their gaze.
In order TO relieve this deadly mo-
notony they beg that a print of Prud-
hons famous picture, Justice In Pur.
suit of Crime may be hung in each
court.

to exchange pleasantries' as the cars
pass. A German woman was on the
car coming downtown the other day.
As the car slid ON the switch and
started to pass the other she got up
cxcitedly and waved toward the car

shouted at a youth on the other
car. evidently her son. on his way

car going of the switch. with the
woman still waving eNcitedly.
The motorman was aroused by this
time and. thinking that the summons
was urgent, stopped the car and
Charlie jumped OF and made bee
line for mother.
She met him at the door II Just

MOVING PICTURES
BEAT BULL FIGHTS
Mexico Takes to Films in Cities
Where Hundreds Have Never
Seen Real Play. -.

An interesting account of the growth
OF the motion picture industry in Mex
leo is furnished in a recent report of
wilbert L. Bonney. United States con-
sui at San Luis Potosi. Mr.. Borney
says:
"The motion picture business in San
Luis Potosi. established eight years
ago. has grown both in popularity and
quality. Prior thereto the drama was
:or the weather. classes only. The de-
mand for pictures of artistic merit is
recent For example. Christmas week,
Les Miserables films were shown, while
the Inferno and Aida were recently
exhibited.
'It is interesting to note the effect
of these films upon the great number
of people here who get their first in
PRODUCTION to fiction. drama, and art
in this graphic manner. 1t is often
difficult otherwise to know what the
people think or what their preferences
are. By simply throwing the picture
of a prominent individual on the cur
tain. the public preference is immed-
lately and Enthusiastically demonstrated.
Audiences here are demonstrative.
Until the cheap motion pictures appear
II Is probable that 50 per cent OF the
people had never witnessed a dramatic
of any character.
The future Of the business here de-
pends upon the development Of the film
business itself. Any improvements
will be quickly takeL up The people
are not much intereste~ In views Of
their own country; oven the battle OF
Bachimba did not draw well here. They
prefer French work and scenes.
Bull fights do not take well. In fact.
