If all of them could only appre-

unity of effort and purpose that
would send the business spinning
along the highroad of prosperity.

turns it safely TO his home. where
he has long been mourned as dead.
He arrives in time TO cheer the last

been faithful to his memory. Bas-
com finds that his daughter. Beth is
now a comely young woman. Tom,
her brother. falls under evil in
huences and commits a theft. His
father comes to his aid. Bascom
has taken care to conceal all knowl-

mystified by the chart bequeathed
her by her father. Harley suddenly
appears with a note for 800 bearing

THE BEST
Photoplay Department in
WASHINGTON
What the Photopldy
Department OF
The Times
Supports

Within the last two or three days
there have been several inquiries
received by the Photoplay Editor
Of the Times that indicate a mis-
apprehension among the exhibitors
Of Washington as to just what this
department represents. In order
that there may be no such misap-
prehension in the future the exact
position of the editor in this con-
nection will be reiterated:
The motion picture as represent
ed by the photoplay. the education
al, and industrial films form today
the greatest medium for educating
and amusing the public in the civil
lied world.
The development of motion pic
lures, their betterment and the
widening of their scope should be
encouraged and supported by every
intelligent man and woman.
The showing of cheap, clap-trap,
blood and thunder films that serve
no useful purpose and tell no in
teresting story should be con-
demned and made impossible.
The exhibition of old, rainy"
films; the bad projection of films
should be prohibited by law.
The maintenance of stuffy. un-
ventilated theaters and the crowd
ing of theaters should be prohibited
by law.
The exhibitors should understand
that they occupy a position of re-
sponsibility toward the public, in
a broad general sense, in the same
class with the teacher. the min
lister, and the newspaper editor,
and should govern: themselves ac-
cordingly.
Anything that will help the mo-
tion picture to become bigger and
better and gain a wider number of
friends; anything that will legiti-
mately increase the prosperity of
the exhibitors, the exchange men,
and the producers. the photoplay
editor of The Times supports to
the best of his ability and will
continue to support
For those exhibitors and pro-
ducers who fail absolutely to real
ize their responsibility TO the pub
lie. whose sole object is to make
money regardless of how IL is
made, who care neither for the
public taste or the artistic eNhibi-
tion Of a picture. who are ignorant
