"The photoplay of the near future will
be so much better than those now shown
that comparison will be unjust" said
pany bearing his name. Mr.. Lubin had
reviewed the growth Of the industry and
art from it's birth. at which he was the
attending physician, to the present day.
Motion plays and the art OF producing
them have progressed more IN the last
five years, SO far as this country is con-
cerned. than in the previous 10 in Eu-
rope, Up 10 six years ago we producers
and owners of patents on the necessary
apparatus fought one another to the
limit of the law. We had lawyers in all
the principal cities, and patent infringe
ment suits were more common than
profits. which the lawyers got. Then We
decided to pool our patents and conduct
business on a sensible basis. We found
that We had 10 restrict the sale OF our
product in such a way that We did not
place an expensive film first in a cent
house. and after several hundred thou
sand had Viewed It In high-prfced
theatre,
$50 the Federal Government brought
suit under the antitrust law, alleging
that as the Aims were transported on
railroads they came under the head or
merchandise. Our contention is that the
flms come under the head OF amuSe-
ment, Just as much as does the scenery
of the legitimate stage, Actors, too,
travel on railroads. yet the producer Of
a speaking play can sell his product to
whosoever will pay without Government
interference"
Mr.. Lubin believes that the photoplay
has a tremendous value as an educational
factor.
Most OF all the Aim viii prove of In
estimAbIe value In science. Every day al
most We hlm operations and take motion

studied at leisure and by thousands who

EPISODE V.
THE CASE OF THE PERPETUAL
GLARE.

THE following day zudora sought
i Storm. Would he go with her? He
certainly would. despite appearances
The word rather amused her. She was
sercnely indifferent as to what her neigh
bors said or thought of her The gen.
eral run of them eyed her suspiciously,
perhaps just because she possessed
beauty and attractiveness. 1t was only
idle people who gosslped; busy persons
always minded their own business. AT
any rate, the place was such short
jaunt out of town that they could re-
turn each evening.
AS John knew little or nothing about
chemistry it was beyond his power to
reason out the problem of the burning
photograph, The two were on the way
to the old house when the second phe-
nomenon occurred.
"Zudora, your hati"

Storm tore the hat from her head and
threw it on the ground. stamping on It.

zudora shook her head dazedly. She
had paid $50 for that hat, she thought
with grim humor.

all these strange things mean. You can

my dear girl, some one is aiming at you,
perhaps some friend of that chemist

tell you the truth, it is for that sort of
reason that I did not want you to go into
this detective business. There's always

may be noted that there are musical
comedies in town which are worth listen

cannot appreciate the Strauss of the
