MOVIES TO AID DETECTIVES
Henceforth Use Films in ldentl-
flying Criminals.

Before resigning as second deputy
police commissioner of New York, j.
Robert Rubin, who had charge Of re-
organizing the detective bureau, ar
ranged for the use of moving pictures
In connection with criminal identifi-
cation.
The system, which is considered OF
special value in training new detect
ives, Is expected to be in operation on
small scale in a short time, and II
funds are voted it may be extended
throughout the city and eventually to
police administrations in other cities.
With younger men constantly re-
placing the old detectives we believe
that the moving pictures will soon be
an important factor in police work"
Mr.. Rubin said 'Its first application
is planned in connection with the line
up.
AT present much time is lost by de-
tectives who have to attend the line
up, but with the movies the films can
be displayed at any time in headquar-
tiers or at division stations.
''As New York headquarters is prac-
tically the clearing house for all GRIM
inal Investigations, detectives and po-
lice officials coming from other cities
could see a procession of crooks or
suspects on the canvas and in many
cases Identification undoubtedly would
follow"

Films Rent for $40 a Day.

A popular feature film generally
rents for $40 a day, while 1t is new
and fresh, and from twenty-five to
thirty-five prints are sent out. That
means a gross return of from $1,000
a day, or from $1,000 to $4,000 a
week
The life of the average feature film
Is about three months Cat a lesser
rental during the last month";. So it
Is easy to see that the gross return
is very large. Some films, such as
Hackett in 1.-THE Prisoner of Zenda, y
or "Rainey Hunt" have continued
popular for more than a year, fresh
prints being made.
The copyright laws are still lax
and rather chaotic concerning motion
pictures, and the Authors League OF
America is working better to protect
authors whose books and stories are
used for films, since a popular book
often makes as good movie drama
as a play. But these conditions will
doubtless be corrected and it may be
said that the author and perhaps the
dramatist of the immediate future,
IL he writes the kind of books or plays
which have interesting plots, and espe-
cially if the scene can be put into
pictorial setting, will have new
source of revenue from the motion
pictures.-Walter Pritchard Eaton, in
the American Magazine.

Keeps Audiences in Mind.

Francis X. Bushman, Essanay screen
star, commenting recently on his sue
cessful career as a photo player, at
tributed his popularity chiefly to one
thing. He instinctively feels his au-
dience before him as he enacts a scene
before the camera. THE Importance
of carefully presenting my part for the
screen was never more impressed upon
me than when | made a lecture tour
of the country" he said. Wherever
| appeared the theater patrons seemed
to be thoroughly familiar with every
film star and looked forward to seeing
their favorites in their most suitable
plays. They criticized and praised
their interpretations. When l discov-

Train Beasts for the Movies.

A private dramatic school for trained
wild animals for moving picture ex-
hibitions has been established near
Fort Lee, N. ]. The apartment where
the pictures are made is equipped
with all the appointments necessary
for proper stage performance, and in
a large menagerie adjoining the studio
are the Gagged animals, which are taken
out for daily rehearsals. Remarkable
success attends the training of these
beasts, which rarely attempt to harm
the human actors who are engaged
with them. Indeed, no person has thus
far been injured in the school.

New Idea in "Godmotharlng."

This is from an epistle, evidently
written with careful pains by very
young miss of Los Angeles. There are
all kinds of loyable mistakes and ap-
pealing blots in the letter. Miss Will
liams has replied to the writer stating
that, as the sex Of the Persian kitten
was omitted, it would require little
time and consideration to hit upon a
strictly neutral title.

NOVELTY IN THRILLS
Wrecklng of Trolley Car Is Some
thing Unique.
Here Moving Picture Designers Have
Produced Truly Exciting Scene
Profit Shown in the Rent
ing of Films.

One of the most exciting scenes III
motion pictures is contained in "A
Prince of India" To inject the nee
sssary thrill deemed essential by all
producers for movie" plays, the d.
rector of this melodrama resorted to
the unique expedient of wrecking a
trolley car.
In the average modern thriller" the
villain invariably finds a waiting auto
mobile or one within easy hailing dis
lance to convey him from the scene
of his misdeed to safety. But here Is
developed different situation. The
villain, escaping with some precious
booty, fails to see any motor car, but
finds a convenient trolley car, without
passengers, conductor or motorman.
He Immediately boards it and, turning
on the power, dashes away, barely in
time to escape his pursuing victim.
The latter, however, is not to be
baked so easily. Meeting some
friends in a powerful automobile, he
induces them to take him in and pur-
sue the robber.
The chase. which follows is indeed
thrilling. When the automobile
catches up with the trolley car the
pursuer leaps from it on the running
board of the speeding street car and
fight between the thief and his vic
tim follows while the car is in flight.
When it reaches a trestle, the car
suddenly jumps the track, veers,
crashes through a railing and is pre-
cipitated headlong so feet to the gorge
below, to its utter destruc ion. The
villain is presumed to have been killed
in the wreck, but his victim, for
tunately, leaped from the car before
1t reached the trestle, taking with
him the stolen property which he had
recovered in the struggle.

ROMANTIC OLD ARRAS
NO MORE PICTURESQUE CITY TO
BE SEEN IN FRANCE.
Has Seen Much Of French History In
the Making and Is Today Com
mercial Point of I'M
portance.

The picturesque old city of Arras,
where the Franco-British forces con-
centrated in huge numbers to check
the German advance, and where the
British fell back after the Germans
occupied Cambria, must have walked
up and rubbed its antique eyes to see
its quondam foes within it's gates as
allies of its beloved country. For
Arras was within the triangle over
which the English fought in the
fifteenth century.
The base Of the triangle was the
sea line from Harfleur to Calais, and
the apex was Paris. This is also the
ground over which some of the
f1ercest battles of the present war
ragged.
For thirty years the English battled
until nothing was left of their French
territory except the Norman isles
and the newer conquest of Calais and
its small territory. At last, in 1435,
at the peace of Arras, Philip of Bur-
gundy "solemnly" forsook the English
alliance, and the English power In
France fell back.
This old town, which dates back to
the time of Caesar, is 100, miles north
east from Paris, and has a population
of something like $4,000 people.
While it is most painful to think of
this once great art center as an in
dustrial place, one must, when he re-
calls the oil works, dye works, brew
cries and the manufactures of hos
iery, lace, beet sugar, soap and earth
enware, which make it today twenti-
eth century commercial town. -.
However, it's glory cannot depart
while the beautiful townhouse, dating
from the sixteenth century, the cita-
del partly gone, erected by Vauban,
marshal Of France and the greatest
military engineer of@rne seventeenth
century, and the tall, imposing houses
in the Flemish style overlooking the
fine squares, with the upper stories
projecting over the footway, remain
These topheavy looking houses
were built in a time when mans
house was indeed his castle, and the
projecting upper stories were used to
wage warfare on the enemy in the
narrow street below The modern
armies with their wonderful and nu-
merous equipment of war must often
find it difficult to get through these
narrow streets in the old towns of
France and Germany. They are bet
ter suited to the time when men
fought hand to hand, and warfare was
matter of individual bravery.
That wonderful tapestry in the
Anglers cathedral, which represents
scenes from the Apocalypse, was
made in Arras, and some of the finest
pieces used in the decorations of the
field of the cloth of gold.
Robespierre, the most famous and
fanatical of the republican leaders of
the French revolution, was born there
in 1858, and later became a criminal
Judge and a member of the academy.
He was one of the handles and beaux
of Arras, setting the fashion in clothes,
and astonishing the most exquisite
with the richness of his laces and
dress. This is difficult to believe
when ones vision of him is always in
the bonnet rouge of the revolutionist,
standing, with imprisoned eloquence,
encouraging the people.
