An interesting story concerning
Jimmy" Morrison, the Vitagraph star.
came to light the other day. Jimmy
had always wanted to be an actor, so
when he was graduated from public
school in his home town (Mattoon, Ill.,
his parents decided that he enter the
University of Chicago. He was in the
class of 1910. So imbued was he with
the thoughts of a brilliant artistic fu-
ture that he devoted all his time while
in the university to studying every
branch of the art of acting. AS men,

Bryant washburn, who is the most
successful villain of many of the Es-
sanay photoplays, denies that crime
pictures are detrimental to the motion
picture theater going public. THE
great thing in the crime pictures"
said Mr.. Washburne, "is that the vii
lain always gets his just deserts. The
lesson is therefore one of good and
not evil. If the villain were ever so
successful in his malicious schemes
and plots, then 1t would be a difficult
matter. But l really think that every
one who sees photoplays cordially
hates the villain. No one has thought
of emulating him, because the conclus-
ion of the picture always shows that
he is worsted, that evil never wins and
that good and virtureJ eventually tri-
umph."
