Does any sane man think that food, taken in any
quantity whatever, can produce such results? They
are the effects of poison, not food.
The most significant word in the above compar-
ison is the term "chronic," which always implies a
pre-existing form of the disease. And what is this
other form? It is the disease as it shows itself in the
moderate or occasional drinker, before the poison has
wrought its deadiest work. The above comparison
merely shows the advanced stage.

CALIFORNIA LEADS
Actors and Actresses Come
from State in Great Numbers.

In the theatrical profession are sew
eral questions which apparently are
unanswerablc. One Of the most mar
vellous Of these is why such an enor-
nous number of people talented his
ironically come from California. sta
tistics for the last forty years show
that California contributes more high

statcs. IN the motion picture field the
number seems even higher. Margaret

offers "A unique and at the same time
satisfying explanation for this condi-
tOr OF affairs.
Miss Gibson declared that the men
folk OF California are primarily re-
sponsibe for this condition. so far
az girls are concerned. She said:
Before the Western girls are sent to
school they are taught how to ride a
horse. By ;he time they are gradu-
atcd they can ride anything that has
four feet and wears hair. Bathing
parties all the year round mean that
swimming is like talking every girl
knows how. A girls first ride in an
lesson in handling the car. Sailing A
boat or handling IA motor craft are
things that the men always insist
upon teaching the girls. Camping in
the mountains means self-rcliancc, and
naturally they learn how TO shoot. fish

"CADIRIA" AN EXAMPLE.

The motion picture feature "Cabiria'
continues its run at the Knickerbockcr
Theatre with interest apparently on
the increase. This spectacular pro-
duction has accomplished other things
besides entertaining the public since
s. was first shown. Perhaps the most
important is that it has pointed out the
great weakness Of American feature
producers. IL is perfectly true that
most pictures which are based on i'm
portant dramatic productions can be
best put into picture form without
any attempt TO achieve spectacular re-
suits. Good acting and effective set
tings are the chief requisites. There
are a number Of American firms making
pictures OF this sort which are fully
the equal OF anything made abroad.
Although long pictures are losing
favor in the small theatres there is an
ever increasing demand for them in
the higher class houses.
A large number Of "hy by night
concerns have been organized for the
purpose Of making sO-called feature
pictures. Such companies do not often
attempt high class dramatic work, be-
cause they will not pay for the picture
rights 70 anything good. Instead, they
put on feeble attempts al spectacular
I films. The faxed effects and general
chespness OF everything in such pro-
auctions are apparent enough TO most
persons, but they are brought out more
llaringly than ever by contrast with
"Csbiria." No one who has seen II

quick manufacturers again. For this
reason the beautiful D'Annunzio pict-
ure Is OF OF positive value 10 the in

A COMEDY A DAY
New Concern Has Ambitious,
but Apparently Good Plan.

The Centaur Film Company, whose
plans we're in part announced last
week. bids fair to become one of the
big factors in the motion picture in
dustry. David Horsley, who is widely
known in the picture world, is at the
head Of the new organization. At the
present time there are only three con-
Germs which offer daily short pictures
to the motion picture theatres. These
are the General Film Company, the
Mutual Film Corporation and the Uni
versal Film Company. II is the in
tention OF the Centaur Company TO
enter this field with seven one reel
comedies each week.
The pictures will be distributed BY
large chain Of exchanges. There
will be twenty-nine in this country
and Canada, three in Europe and
twenty IN South America.
