REAL CRUSOE SHIP
IS READY FOR TRIP
Hundred People Will Embark on
Odd Vessel to Enact Story
for Moving Films.

An achievement extraordinary In the
motion picture world is now under
way in san Pedro. Cal. Out in the hars
bor Of this beautiful town there lies
q queer-looking craft which at once
attracts the eye of the curious. For
several weeks a small army of work.
men, ship carpenters. seamen. artists
and others have been busily engaged
upon this Queer-looking hulk, and peo-
pie have gathered on the docks at
evening to ask all sorts of questions
Of these workers as they return from
their days labor.
When 1t il entirely made over this
queer-looking craft will be unlike any
other vessel that has ever been moorcd
on the Western coast, and its object,
too. will be unlike that Of any other
ship that has sailed the waters Of
the Pacific. 1t is to be as nearly a
replica Of Robinson Crusoe's ship as
possible. and, when the old vessel
moves away from San Pedro, 1t will
have a passenger list OF 100 people, and
the story Of Robinson Crusoe will be
in the making for the first time on a
motion picture screen.
In undertaking this mammoth produc-
ton, no expense IL being spared In CIV
ing to the public an exact picture of
this wonderful story, which everJ
schoolboy and schoolgirl loves SO well.
The scenes which represent the taking
Of the ship by the mutineers, and Of its
retaking by Robinson Crusoe. together
with the attack by the cannibals, Will
be of inestimable value and absorbing
interest, thrilling with realism.
Most of the scenes Of the big three
reel feature. which will mark an inno-
walton In the motion picture world, will
be taken at San Pedro. Santa Cruz. and
on different parts of Santa Catalina Is
land.
Director otis Turner. Of the Universal
Film Manufacturing Company's West
coast organization. Is in personal charge
of all the work, spending the better
part Of his time in arranging the va
rious settings aboard ship and on land.
So that the pictures will be complete in
every particular and as nearly as pos
sible in keeping with the story Bob
Leonard. the well-known Universal star,
has been cast for the part of Crusoe.

Moving Pictures Popular
With Japanese People

Even the remotest towns in Japan
have their moving picture shows, and
in large cities they seem to be nearly
as plentiful as on this side of the Pa
cific. In Yokohama there is whole
street Of them. and as the program OF
each Is endless and each picture is an
nounced in huge symbols on a separate
variegated banner flying from a tall
bamboo pole. the aspect OF Theater
street is startlingly unique.
The pictures illustrating the sensa-
tional points of the programs above the
entrances and at their sides have a
certain quaintness about them, which
Is accentuated by the fact that they
are all originals. not mere stereo:yped
advertisements printed in raw colors.

spectators are deposited on a rack be-

show. for where other people take of
their hats. the Japanese leave their

Picturing the News
In Motion Pictures

News isn't news IL II isn't new, and
IL spite cf the many processes through
which a film passes before II is ready
to present to an audience, the fact
remains that the various films featur-
Ing news actually do give the news.
The public is hardly aware of the
great speed at which some OF these
news films are prepared. In more
than one instance. . person that has
viewed some great event such as the
launching Of a battleship. or the re-
ception to some visiting monarch.
etc, has been able to leave the scene
of action ard proceed Immediately to
a motion picture theater and see the
entire event reproduced on the screen.
Especially wonderful enterprise ID
manifested in showing a specify re-
production Of events that appeal to
the spirit OF patriotism. A remark
able instance of this kind was shown
at the coronation of King George OF
England. in London, an exact re-
production of the royal procession to
the abbey was pictured on the screen
before the return journey to Buck
lngham palace had begun.
In accomplishing this feat relays Of
operators were used together with
taxicdbs, extremely rapid development
and special trains.
The investiture OF the Prince OF
Wales was exhibited on the evening
CT the day that the event took place.
4 special train was also used in this
case and in Il the films were develop
ed. washed. dried. printed, and pre-
pared for exhibition.
American film producers are not q
whit behind others and many are the
surprising cases that can easily be
recalled to confirm this statement.
Instances of this kind show why mo-
tion pictures have attained such high
standing for educational purposes.
Several Of the Washington theaters
feature these news films and find tina I
they are as enthusiastically received
as those of a fictitious character.

Syndicated Sermons
Newest Movie" Idea

It is rumored that a company VIII
soon be formed. which will be inter-
national in its scope. for the purpose
of syndicating sermons OF famous
preachers. These, Of course. Will oe
short, concise addresses, and Will oe
recorded on cylinders or discs OF
standard talking machines and syn
chrcnized with motion pictures.
The project is vast in its possibilities.
and Il would seem that churches ev-
erywhere would thus be greatly helped
in drawing larger audiences, AMI II
would be a splendid means OF extend
ing their teachings and innuence.
The spoken word is always more
impressive than the written word, and
when a small suburban audience can
not only hear the worlds greatest
preachers, but actually see them suit
the action to the word" 1t would seem
that the field for such a plan Is un-
limited.
II is not intended. of course. that
these sermons shall take the place OF
the regular sermon by the resident
minister. but that they shall be used
as n prelude and that the regular SER
mon which follows will treat more
fully the same topic. using the same
text.
Before the plan is launched. 1t is said
that the company will be fully pre-
pared 10 supply feature sermons. or
sermonettes, as they might more prop
erly lie called, for every special oc-
casion during the year, such as Eas-
ter, Christmas, Thanksgiving Day.
etc.
OF course. the greatest essential In
making this a success is the winning
over to the plan Of preachers OF re-
nown. and those only whose methods
of speech are full of enthusiastic ac-
ton, SO that the pictures will nave
vigor and life.
Special motion picture machines OF
small size, accurately synchronized
with the speech records. will be fur
nished for the purpose. it is reported.
and II is believed that. in view OF The
MANI churches that now own stereop-
ticons. etc, that 1t will not be difficult
to find a great sale for the newer idea
Inasmuch as It is planned to sell them
on the easy payment plan.
