MANY CITIZENS

LOOK At SEALS
TWO LITTLE ANIMALS WHICH
WERE PLACED IN THE PUBLIC
FOUNTAIN BY CITY COMMITS

Scores OF people were attracted to
the fountain on East Garden street
yesterday to see the two seals which
had been presented the city of Pen
acoIa by Capt Salvatore and crew
f the fishing smack Seminole, the
two animals having been captured on
the coast Of Mexico.
Those who had never before had the
pleasure Of seeing a real live seal

fountain at an early hour, and. as one
little girl said why, mama, they are

fountain. The animals do not stay
in the water altogether, as is the pop
ular belief, but remain on the ground
about as much as they do In the cool
basin. In fact they rarely stay any
length OF time in the water.
AS early as ? a. m. yesterday, both
of the animals were on the grass
plot. and just why they were not at

son for some speculation. Early in
the day, however, an enclosure was
built about the fountain, leaving
room on the ground for the seals to
get to the earth, on which they sleep
peacefully, and until disturbed by the

thronged the vicinity throughout the
day.

Ethel Barrymore a Convert.

Only few years ago there were nu.
merous legitimate players who failed
to realize that an occasional appear
ance in films was good test of their
versatility, and. incidentally. good
form of advertisement. Now nearly
all of them have become wiser. One
of the most recent converts is Ethel
Barrymore. who has forgotten her
conservative spirit and will shortly ap-
pear in film version of one of her re-
cent stage successes. The title of the

What Spain Enjoys.

Moving pictures are popular in Mad
rid, but 1t is interesting to read in
a consular report that the films in IA
vor are those made up from historical
novels and American war, cowboy, de-
tective and intrigue films. The only
American films in great favor are
those showing western scenes. with
cowboys and particularly Indians. The
Spanish children are extremely fond
of Indian scenes. They do not care for
educational films, but they want thrill
ing, the more thrilling the better
That may be because bull fighting is
the national pastime of Spain, and the
Indian warfare and cowboy scenes
come next to bull fighting.

Price Of Moving Pictures.

In Europe moving picture theaters
are charging as much as $3.50 a seat
and 1t is predicted that the price of
admission to the better class of Amer
lean moving picture shows will be in
creased. 1t Is to be hoped there will
be no attempt to establish European
prices here. While 1t Is true that
moving picture audiences are con-
stantly demanding more elaborate pro-
auctions, the initial cost of the pic
ture play Is also the finai cost. There
are no actors salaries to pay and no
continuing expenditures.
The great benefit Of the moving pic
ture entertainment has been its uni
versal appeal-an appeal that has not
been measured by the wealth or pow
erty of Its patrons. 1t would be a
calamity If the time should ever come
when high class moving picture enter
tainments would be beyond the finan-
cial means of the humblest of our cit
liens.

Dogs Love the Villain.

That characters in photoplays are
sometimes entirely different in real
life Is exemplified by Carl Stockdale.
Mr.. Stockdale is usually cast for the
role Of the villain and when he is an
actor there probably is no meaner vii
lain In the world, and when he Is eth
er hanged or shot at the conclusion of
the photoplay audience always give
sigh of satisfaction.
Mr.. Stockdale, however, in real life
Is one Of the kindliest of men. He
has horse and a number of dogs that
want to follow him wherever he goes.
Whenever he sees a sick or wounded
dog he always takes it home and
cares for 1t.

Successful Scenario Writer.

Elaine Sterne, winner of the Eve
ming Sun $1,000 scenario prize, is a
New York girl, and though she has
only been writing photoplays barely
nine months, she has managed to win
for herself wide success in this field.
She was educated In New York, and
having always In mind an ambition to
write, took up special courses at Co
lumbia in English and English liter
ature. She gained her knowledge of
photo-play technique by close study
of the plays as presented on the
screen. Writing, she believes, Is a
"stick-to-it-ive" game, in which one
must sacrifice much to accomplish
anything.

tribes, and he acted as my interpreter
throughout the trip.
"The responsibility of providing food
depended largely upon me. Salt and
beads, given the natives. would get US
food occasionally, but as a rule had
to shoot our supper. Fortunately
there is bountiful supply of game In
Africa, which simplified our provision
ing.
my carriers deserted one day at a
point between two warning villages,
leaving me alone with my interpreter.
The village we were making for was
inhabited by cannibals, whose chief
had habit of either eating or making
slaves of all the other natives who had
the temerity to approach his bailiwick.
AS l approached l feigned not to see
him, but kept my gaze on the sky.
watching some birds winging by. Then
picking up my gun, l fired, and the
birds began dropping all around us.
This had the desired effect of i'm
pressing him, as hoped it would, and
he became very friendly, promising me
food for my followers and myself-a
very special kind of meat. Imagine
my horror when few minutes later
saw two men carrying the leg of a
black man they had killed the day
previous and were then using for food.

hunters that any great prestige Is at

pins. l arrived in Elizabethville with

Mrs. Roby made a good deal of her
journey by bicycle.
1T Is difficult to blaze new trails In
African territory" said Mrs. Roby,
for whenever new chief comes to
the fore the village or province is
named after him or by name of his
selection. So the hopelessness of try
ing to follow a map of any kind is ap.
parent, and mistakes must naturally
follow ON account of these Inevitable
errors in maps and charts.

Actor In Convict Garb.

For one of the realistic scenes In
The Toll Of Mammon," it was neces-
sary to secure views Of convicts at
their daily toll. Director Harry Hand
worth was fortunate enough to get
permission for the use of one of New
Yorks greatest prisons and some very
unusual pictures were taken. Gordon

become a convict for the time being,

Organ Notes From a plano.

At conversations in the rooms of
the Society OF French Civil Engineers
In Paris, visiting British engineers
were introduced to a new invention Of
TWO Frenchnan, M. Maitre and M
Martin, piano in which the notes are
produced by the wires being set In
vibration by an electromagnetic instead
OF being struck by hammers. The
mechanism is operated in the usual
way by a keyboard, but, instead of
dying gradually away as they do with
ordinary piano notes, maintain their
volume as long as the key is pressed.
The effect produced is similar to that

- YOU were woman rich enough
to live wherever you wanted to
live, to go wherever you wanted
to go and to do whatever you
wanted to do, would you choose
to go alone into Darkest Africa, and to
strike up acquaintance with canni-
balls?
Yet this Is what Mrs. Marguerite
Roby did, because she loves adventure
and was "inoculated" with the longing
for travelling In strange places.
Maybe you might fancy some wild
experiment If you had with you a
white companion, man or woman. Or
II you went into the jungle you might,
II you were woman, fancy the COM
fort of native woman companion.
But Mrs. Roby chose for her guides
and followers simply the black men Of
the trackless African country, and in
departing had so won the affection of
the natives that they wanted to have
her as queen of the Congo.
Recuperating from an attack of
blackwater fever the result of her re-
cent explorations, Mrs. Roby talked en-
tertainingly of her unusual voyagings
and some of the queer experiences she
had In the course of an 8,000-mile
tramp through the largely unexplored
and mostly cannibal Kasai country in
the lower Congo region of Africa, with
only the natives for companions. Mrs.

Actress Has RIqht Idea.

Marion Leonard, one of the few pic
ture actresses to own her own studio
and have her special company, is now
starting to make pictures along rather
original lines. In the first place, each
picture will be long enough for an en-
tertainment, but, more important than
that, the picture will not be, as
Is now the case with all others, Of an
arbitrary length. Every play or story
will be presented for what it Is worth.
This will do away with the pruning
and padding which hurt 80 many pic
lures.
