MUSIC To FIT
SILENT DRAMA
LATEST EFFECT
Universal Film Company Employs
Composer-RadicaI Depart
ure From Tradition.

Noble Kreider, one of the most suc-
cessful of American composers, has
been engaged by the Universal Film
Manufacturing Company to compose
incidental music to the four-reel pro-
duction Of Samson" which Is now
being staged by the Universal with
]. Warren Kerrigan In the title role.
In a measure this announcement
can not but be startling because 1t
opens up a new field, not only In mo-
ton picture productions. but in mu-
sic. II is the answer to the demand
Of motion picture patrons for Incl
dental music which will exactly At
the individual film; which will bring
out and interpret the action and SEN
timent on the screen.
The demand for appropriate music
for the photOplay is manifested from
every corner Of the country. The
practice of so-called transposing be-
fore the screen has not been a sue
cess because few can carry 1t out
acceptably The idea Of using the
classical dramatic music can not be a
success because the emotions 1t re-
calls and the story IL tells may not
correspond with the emotions and
story upon the screen.
Mr.. Kreider's first labor was to &C
over the scenario with its author
Mr.. Kreider saw that as to form
he must make radical departure from
tradition The motion picture scene
is short and crowded with action
Among the scenes to which Mr..
Kreider has already put music are the
scene Of the angel announcing the
birth of Samson, the big banquet
scene which includes an Oriental bal
let, the scene in which the priests
ask Samson to join them after he
kills the Philistines, and the terrible
scene in which Samson wrecks the
temple The composer will put mu-
sic around all the salient points OF
the drama.

kathlyn Williams Risks Her Life In
Scenes With Thor, Lord

The realism which patrons Of the
best motion pictures are demanding
In all kinds of films is nowhere re-
sulting in more thrilling effects than
in wild animal pictures. Actors and
actresses in the movies take their
lives into their hands IN order TO pro-
duce sensational scenes in which
wild beasts Of the jungle play lead
ing part. In the lion picture, Thor,
Lord of the Jungle" which will be
seen in Atlanta this week, some OF
the scenes were so dangerous for the
young actress, Miss Kathlyn Will
liams, who had the leading part, that
men armed with rifles were stationed
Just outside the cameras range and
kept their guns continually leveled
at the big beasts which figures In

the actual capture Of the f1ercest At

lion Is only one of the stirring Incl
dents Of this picture. In one of the
scenes this lion, later tanned in a
circus, actually breaks through the
weakened bars Of his cage and at
tacks the man who Is trying to harm
the girl, who in the previous scene
has been kind to the lion. In pictures
of this kind the movies are attaining
degree Of realism that never has

Shepherdess Loves
Gladiator Of Rome

The epic quality which makes the
old Greek and Roman stories told by
Homer and Virgil still the most Won
derful romances in the world, Is
strongly evident in a pastoral drama
Of ancient Rome, entitled THE
Daughter of the Hills" which Is pro-
duced by the Famous Players Film
Company, and will be seen in Atlanta
this week. The plot of the story is
an entirely original one, and II is the
atmosphere and background rather
than the tale which have been fur
nished by the classics. The story is
absolutely Arcadian in its beauty. The
Daughter of the Hills Is a lovely
shepherdess who falls in love with a
powerful and brutal gladiator Of the
Roman arena. How her sweetness
triumphs over his strength makes a
wonderful feature.

MAY LIMIT CAPITAL
OF BIG CORPORATIONS
Senator CumminS Has an
Amendment to VreeIand'S
Commission Bill.

wASHINGTON July .. - Sen.
cummins OF Iowa. who is supporting
the Vreelands trade commission bill
Wednesday said in the debate that ne
intended Offering an amendment that
would authorize the proposed COM
mission to limit the amount OF capital
stock that any single corporation
should be permitted 10 use in any
particular line Of industrial activity.
Much Of his argument Wednesday
was devoted 10 an advocacy Of this
principle which he said he believed
would have a Statutory effect in re-
pressing combination and making
monopoly impossible.
NO corporation should be permit
ted 20 command an amount Of capital
so vast that its very existence tends
20 establish or create a monopoly,
said Sen. Cummins. Placing a linn
itatiOn upon this capitalization and
the exercise Of this power under the
wise discretion Of the trade commits
sion was a long step in the direction
of relieving honest business men from
the evils or combines that stide com
petition and ruin competitors.
The Iowa senator declared he was
not attacking big business" as such.
He realized, he said. that business In
the United States must be carried
along on a large scale and with
American enterprise 20 back IT, al
ways would be. Still. he said there
was no field OF operation so small
that il ought not to be occupied by
competing concerns and that was the
ideal business condition. II too fire.
quently happens under existing con-
ditions, ne pointed out. that the cap
ital employed in a single concern was
30 large that the competition OF
smaller companies was impossible.
This. he illustrated through the
operations Of the United States Steel
corporation. which. notwithstanding
it's enormous size controlled only
about one-half the countTy's steel in
dustry. It's capitalization was so
large, however. that il gave il a
power which could be and doubtless
was used 10 prevent competition. il
certainly had Nat power whether II
attempted TO exercise il or not
Mr. Newlands asked unanimous
consent that voting on the pending
trade commission bill begin at 3
o'clock Thursday afternoon but Mr.
Cummins objected. This is the first
suggestion of pressure from the man
ayers OF the bill and il was met with
the statement by Mr.. Cummns that
its discussion had hardly begun. Mr.
Cummins favors the measure in prin-
ciple, but wants il amended
