How the Movies are Helping the
 Theaters

In the October American Mag azine Wlater Prichard Eaton, dramatic editor of that publica- tion, writing an article entitled "A New Epoch in the Movies, " explains as follows why the nov ies are not really a menace to the theaters:
 Our actors used to fear that if they appeared on the screens the public would no longer pay to see them in person. That fear has been dissipated. James K. Hackett took out 'The Prisoner of Zenda' after he had acted it for the camera and the film had been widely shown, and he has testified that in all towns where the photo-play had preceded him the attendance upon the real play was noticeably larger. Feature films, then, with real actors in them. or made from real plays, are potentially a feeder for the dramatic stage. The step up from short, scatter r-brained films to the long photo-play telling a sustained story for two hours or more, is a step forward in the process of educating a wider public for the enjoyment of dra- matic art. We can say even more confidently than we said in this place a year ago, that the movies are not a menace to the theater."

PREMIUM MONEY WILL BE
 PAID.

Every exhibitor from Arkan- sas who wins a prize at the Pa nama-Pacific Exposition will re- ceive the premium money. As the premiums are large, this will be a considerable inducement to the growers to compete with the agriculturalists and horticultur- alists of the world. It has never been the custom to turn the pre- mium money over to the grower, the money thus derived being used in defraying the expense of the exhibit.
 The Arkansas Panama-Pacific Exposition Commission figures that the exhibitor should have the money, and he will get every cent of it, with the exception of the small amount required to pay for cost of handling this in- dividual exhibit.
 The exhibits will be collected at the county fairs, or wherever the field agents can find them, and placed on exhibition at the State Fair at Hot Springs, where they will be later stored until time for the opening of the Pa nama-Pacific exposition in Feb ruary.

is plenty of potash in the soil. Since
we find most Maryland soils rich in

may be used TO supply potash as they

chances are. however, that the sup
