II. Roots in Thirty Minutes
After Receipt of Order

Little Rock, March 16.-Quite a
large number of visitors went to Fort
Logan H. Roots Sunday and spent a
considerable portion of the afternoon
watching the soldiers getting ready to
depart for the Mexican border. The
soldiers have all the necessities pack
ed, and when the order is given
Thursday morning, they can start up
on the march down the mountain to
the train, within thirty minutes. The
only restive ones in the garrison are
the soldiers who are to remain behind
to guard the empty barracks. The
soldiers will leave on a special train,
and while all are anxious to take a
shot at the Mexicans, few expect to
get into active warfare. They know
the fighting game is serious one, and
many of this regiment have seen SER
vice in the PHILIPPINES, so they know
that the administration will stand
most anything before it will issue an
order to cross the border.

However, some things must be taken
into consideration before building.
A silo alone will not make money.
You must have stock to feed, and you
must have enough stock to eat the
contents of the silo during the winter
season. If you have the silo and the
stock. you must then provide the

FILM SHOW IN JUNE.

The second annual exhibition Of the
motion picture arts will be held at the
Grand Central Palace from June 8 to 8.
The exhibit will be held as a result OF the
SUCCESS which was experienced last sum-
mer. At that time the idea Of such a
show was regarded by many motion pict-
ure men as foolish one, and II was
chiefly because this city happened to be
the meeting place OF the annual conven-
ton OF the Motion Picture Exhibitors
League II America that the exhibition
was held The hackers believed that the
visiting exhibitors would patronize the af-
fair sufficiently to make the risk worth
while
The theatre owners did attend the eX-
hibition in large numbers. but the real
surprise lay in the tremendous interest
which the public manifested in il. Dur
ing the entire week the Grand Central
Palace was damned with thousands Of
movie" fans, who were eager to see any
thing which had to do with the produc-
ton OF films.
This year the convention is to be held
at Dayton, Ohio. where an exhibition will
be given In connection with il. 1t was at
first supposed that this meant no show
in New York, but number Of picture
men have agreed 70 finance one here. and
il seems certain that il will now be a
regular annual feature. The film makers
and the various allied manufacturers will

A NEW ART STAGE.

The futurist stage setting for motion
pictures at Proctor's Fifth Avenue Thea
tire is attracting attention from the pub
lie as well as the art journals. 1t is thu
first time that a setting of this kind has
been seen devoted to such a purpose.
F. F. Proctor desired to substitute with
artistic surroundings the usual frame and
bare walls Of most motion picture thea.
tres. He called in the services OF a well
known decorator and designer OF unique
effects, and the general atmosphere of "a
Leon Baskt interior was aimed at. and
brought TO sane and modern conditions.

blues and greens upon white backgrounds.
The stage is set with unique furniture
and easel In the rear is a easement COW
cred with tapestries
AT the commencement Of each new pict-
ure the stage is lighted and the audience
is transported into the artists atelier. The
curtains are invisibly drawn aside from
the window and a warmly colored scene
of the open country is revealed in the dis

THE CAMERA BATTERY.

Just at present it seems decidedly DIFF
ficult to predict how serious the conflict
in Mexico will be, but whatever happens
there will be shown 10 the public with
realism and accuracy such as has never
been seen in the case of other wars. This
will be accomplished by means OF motion
pictures. In the Balkan struggle there
was some attempt at filming events, but
conditions of climate and inaccessibility,
combined with the general dislike of all
parties concerned for the picture men,
rendered the task so difficult that only a
few satisfactory views were obtained.
In Mexico the situation is different, as
the government officials at Washington
have not only given permission to various
film companies TO have camera men with
the forces, but are cooperating with
them. In every case the stipulation is
made that the films must be seen by an
army officer, who will see that no pict-
ures disclosing secrets OF guns or meth
DDS are allowed to go out. Copies OF the
films will also be given 10 the govern
ment for future use at the War College
Camera men from the Mutual, Uni
versal and Selig companies are already in
the field. The Universal has a man on
the Nereus, on the Gulf coast, and on
the battleship South Dakota, on the Pa
clfc side. Selig photographers are on the
battleship Minnesota and the cruiser Ia
coma, and this company also has pri-
vate yacht on it's way to Tampico.
The pictures taken will be rushed North
as rapidly as possible, and many of them
used in the news weeklies which they
produce Special reels will also be put
out devoted entirely TO war scenes. The
battleships New York and Texas which
are scheduled TO sail for Mexico from
this port to-day or tomorrow. will prob
ably carry more camera men. Owing to
the necessity of getting clear view OF
what is going on the movie photographers
must stand in places fully as dangerous
as the fighters themselves. During the
battle about Torreon the tripod was shot
out from under one of the Mutual opera
tors machines. but he saved the film.
