BURNED STUDIOS
WILL Be REBUILT
EcIair Moving Picture Co. to
Replace 100000 Plant at
Fort Lee.
Ispecini to the Evening start

FORT LEE, March 20.-Plans are
already being arranged for the re-
construction of the Eclair Moving
Picture Company's plant at this place,
which was yesterday almost totally
destroyed by fire. Henry Marie, man
ager of the factory, announced today
that the company will at once begin
the work of repairing the damage
caused by the flames The loss to the
plant is estimated at 100000.
Most of the loss consists in the de-
struction of valuable film productions
to the extent of $200,0 One of those
was a three-reel film, which had just
been completed, entitled "The Cable
liro's Way" and another was a six
reel film entitled 'Protea," which had
recently been received from Paris.
The entire negative department and
storage vaults were destroyed. Fran
els Doubler, one of the employees, was
overcome by smoke while attempting
to save several of the films, and an
other employe, Robert Klein, was in
iured by falling timber. Irene Whip
pie a young woman employee of the
company. was the hero of the day
She hurried through the halls of the
plant and warned over a hundred
persons.
While the flames were raging
through the plant a photographers of
the company piled his camera outside
and obtained what will probably be
one of the most realistic fire scenss.
The film obtained will also be used as
an exhibit before The Public Utility
Commission when Senator Hennessy
and the Eastern Bergen County I'M
provement Association will appear
before that body to complain against
the Hackensack Water Company. 1t
is declared that the lack of pressure
in the water pipes supplied by the
company was responsible for most
of the damage, as the employees of
the plant made frantic efforts to ex-
tinguish the fire while it was still in
it's early stage.

many warm garments as possible to

The garments which are chiefly of
wool, include neat little blue serge
