Hero OF NeDeSt
Photoplay Of
Baseball

II there is any public institution
that rivals the photoplay in popular
interest it is baseball. More people
90 TO the photoplay theater than to
the baseball games. There are more
motion picture houses than there are
baseball fields. But the two stand
about equal in popular interest. De-
srite the fact that they are rivals,
they are not jealous of one another,
photoplay producers have been doing
& great deal for baseball. They
have been showing the big stars In
important games 10 people who
could never hope to see them. And
they have done something else, too.
The Kalem Company has made It a
point to produce at. least one big
baseball photoplay every year with
big league baseball player playing the
part Of himself as hero and leading
man. This\ year Home Run Baker,
of the Philadelphia Athletics. is the
hero Of the story this year.
The KaIem Company for the three
preceding years has produced base
bali picture-one featuring either a
professional player or !. team The
frs. that of 1911. will be remembered
as Hal Chase's Home Run" The
successors were ''Rube MarQuard

hits. The fourth CT these subjects
will be released on June Il, in two
reels. Not only is the reak baseball
star featured in Home Run Bakers
DOUBLE" but the plot touches on
agitated the millions of followers OF
the national garne-the formation Of
the new league and the attempts of
the men behind it to induce players
to desert the older organizations. The
story is written and produced by
f[enean Buell.
Home Run Baker will need no in

The photoplsy house. and when those

the play:

woman and arrives et the appointed
place just in time TO frustrate the
swindler.
The resemblance between Day
and Baker is used by wallace later
when he sends Day to the officials
of the Federation League in the ef-
fort to obtain advance money. The
sudden upsetting of the swindler's
plans makes a dramatic scene. In
fact, there are goodly number of
interesting situations. Marguerite
Courtot has the role of the young
woman who is saved from injury
by the ball player. Henry Hallam
has the part of her father, the capi-
talist. who becomes interested In the
new league and who is very enarly
imposed upon by the swindler. Ben
Ross is wallace, and Helen Lindroth
is Mrs. Baker. the mother of the
player. The work of the cast is just
what may be expected from those
players, and goes far to further the

There are many scenes of base
