Atlanta Clergyman
Gives High Praise
To University Four
Tells of Great Good That Can Be Ac-
compIished by High Class
Entertainment.

very wonderful letter has been
written by well known Atlanta
minister TO the University -Four Quar-
tet, which has been singing at the
Alamo No. 2 Theater, in which a
beautiful tribute is paid to the pow
err Of music, and the young men are
eXhorted to develop their talents to
their fullest degree. 1t is one of the
most wonderful tributes that has ever
been paid to a singing organization
in Atlanta. The minister begins with
a verse from l Timothy, Neglect not
the gift that is within thee" and goes
on to say:
THE object of your profession is
to amuse and interest your audiences,
and that you do not fail to do, for
you have been gifted with beautiful
voices, with pleasing personalities.
and l see the index of great souls
within. You are pleased with the re-
suits of your efforts as musical en-
tertainers for the "movies''-but you
haven't done anything, young men,
to what you're going to do.
You are the instruments through
which God himself is going to sing
every one of you-perhasp not all at
the same time, TO begin with, for it
may please Him to bring to perfec-
ton according to His will one a lit
tie sooner than the others, but final
ly you'll all sing, and. Oh, how you'll
sing!
You are not going to be salts
fed with the mere fact that you have
pleased your audiences; such reward
won't be enough for your efforts, and
yet you won't think of the reward
when you have done your best. Moth
ing short of the consciousness OF
Gods approval on your efforts to
please Him, in your spirit of song,
will give you the fullness of Joy you
would know at the setting of each
days sun.
And with patience unto the saw
ing of my own soul, l await the time
when | can hear you sing with that
expression in which l shall have the
consciousness of the realization of
the possibilities I see in you four
exceptional young men.
God bless you and give you many
appointments at Alamo No. @"

MARVELS Of
ILLUSION IN
PHOTO DRAMA
Infinite Variety of Miraculous and
Impossible Things Now Seen
on Screen in Theater.

An unusual article on kinetic illu-
sions is carried in the current issue
of Reel Life, which is the weekly
magazine of film drama and litera-
ture published by the Mutual people.
A number OF the Illusion pictures re-
ferred to have already been seen in
Atlanta at the Vaudette, which car
ries the first-run Mutual programs.
One Of the chief features in motion
photograp hy-which is never end
Ing source of interest and pleasure to
those who see the pictures-is the in
finite variety of seemingly impossible
things or actions which may be por-
trayed on the screen. Illusion is that
phenomena by which conditions or &C
tons which human experience has
demonstrated as impossible are made
to appear real and true to life. And
so thoroughly does l1inetic photogra-
ply lend itself to these phenomena
that the spectator is left in doubt as
to whether the impossible has been
actually accomplishment not.
Take. for example, the handling Of
the snakes in a recent Thanhouser
play, why Reginald Reformed" Mr..
CruZe in the picture starts to pour
out drink from a decanter on the
bureau In his bedroom. moment
before there was a couple of collars
around the base Of the decanter on
the bureau. But as he stretches out
his hand to remove the stopper the
collars become a living, coilcd, with
ing snake, with head outstretched to
strike him. Afterward he comes into
the same room and throws his cane
on the floor For a second you see the
cane lying there. Then one end of 1t
begins to squirm. A second more and
there is snake on the carpet, squlrm-
ing toward him. Rushing downstairs
to the paror door, he apparently sees
man, woman and two children
playing with living snakes, and In a
revulsion OF feeling from the horror
of the thing fires a revolver at the
group With a smile, the man reaches
up to his ear, takes from it the bull
let. holds it up between his fingers,
and losses fl back toward Mr.. CruZe.
You actually hear it drop heavily on
the floor-if the projecting machine
operator Is onto his job.
In Mr.. Cruces Case-as well as the
Keystone comedy, when Dreams
Come True"-real snakes are certain
ly used in producing the films-some
of them diamond back "rattlers," too
But they don't do the stunts you see
them do-not at exactly the same
time that Mr.. Cruze or Mr. Stirling
are in such proximity to them.
! Even though repeated witnessing Of
these apparent miracles gets us more
| or less accustomed to them, the va
riety and possibilities are almost un-
| limited-and 1t will be long time be-
! fore they cease to entertain us.

The picture, aside from Its dramatic

American should see, as it strikingly
illustrates the valuable services which
the secret service men render the ma
ton and the ready manner in which
they risk their lives to apprehend crimi-
nails when occasion arises This picture

The Gangsters of
New York Great Film

A sensationally and truthfully trag
nc story is that of the Mutual Film
Corporation, THE Gangsters of New
York, to be seen at the Alamo No. !
next Monday.
The great lesson from this silent
drama is that capital punishment does
not destroy the seed of the criminal,
but the remedy suggested Is that the
Congested conditions are responsible
to great extent and the evil can
only be lessened in proportion to the
number of persons occupying the ten
ements of the great city.
1t is a truthful portrayal of what
actually occurs many times in a year
in the tenement districts of the great
metropolis.
