Harry Benham and Boyd Marshall. two

One Of the young ladies among the

Mr.. Benham told her that Cane just had
celebrated his twenty-first birthday and

and Mr.. Cane should get Lloyd F. Loner-

Sometime ago Il was suggested in this
column that the public would unques-
tionably be delighted to see some of their
old favorites in the picture plays of sew
eral years ago. Mary Pickford was men,
uoned as being one OF the players the
motion picture public would flock to see
in some Of the old releases in which she
played.
Ye Motion Picture Editor notices in
the most recent issue Of the Moving Pic
ture World an advertisement of the Imp
company. announcing that they will
shortly release several OF the pictures
made four years ago, featuring Mary
Pickford. That these pictures will meet
with popular approval cannot be doubted.
Dear little, sweet faced. sweet voiced
Mary Pickford! The moving picture pub
lie doesn't see half enough Of her on the
screen. The action OF the Imp company.
therefore, in reviving the old films which
featured her. is heartily commendable.
The Imp company state that the films
are newly printed from the old negatives
which means that they are really brand
new pictures

Motion Picture Editor: A friend Of
mine, who regards you as an authority
on all photoplay matters, has requested
me to submit a certain subject to you,
Of most absorbing interest, l asked her
why she doesn't write you about II her
self, but she says her ability is all along
conversational lines. She lives on Co.
lumbia Heights, by the way. and is
glad to have an advertisement Of the
Lyric Theater in The Herald as it is
handy for her.
But to return to the subject which Is
disturbing her peace of mind. she doesn't
like the way in which certain fippant
pianists improvise for the love scenes
in photoplay plays For instance, just
as the hero imprints a rapturous Kiss
upon his fair lady's lips, some of the
pianists have a way of introducing
psychological moment. Ny friend thinks
this is all right for comic love scenes
between the butler and the lady's maid.
but. that it is not appropriate for seri-
Gus drama And I agree with her. al
though I have expressed my comments
In a rather frivolous manner. So you
are requested TO use your influence in
the way Of reform; some one may take
you for a censor.
In connection with love scenes, I am
reminded of that censor lady in Penn
syIvania, you told US about in the paper
the other day. didn't she want time
limit. or something Of the sort? Sug-
gest to her to use the Taylor system and
a stop watch. II. L. b.
H. L. B.-The pianists who do the
stunts you refer to are the kind Of peo-
pie one feels like picking up gingerly
and dropping in the river. 1 agree with
your friend that such bad taste and
rotten fiippancy is out Of place in a
serious entertainment. I am glad she
likes to see the Lyric ad in The Herald.

Beavers Attract AttentIon.

Tourists In the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park have shown 30 much in
terest in the beavers inhabiting the
streams that the Department of the
Interior Is considering the advisability
of placing colonies of the animals In
some Of the other national parks.
The beaver has been one of the most
potent factors in the exploration of
the Rocky Mountain region, because
the early trappers were generally
searching for beaver when they first
penetrated the Businesses of the
mountains. The zigzag dams con-
structed by these busy animals are
familiar sights in the Yellowstone
National Park. The beaver seems
to be particularly adapted to the
Platte, the Yosemite and Mount
Rainier national parks.
