New York, Aug. I3.--One Of the big
sest religious and educational move
ments in the history of the country is
now comfortably housed at No IS
East Forty-first street, in one OF New
Yorks newest office buildings AT its
head is the Duke OF Manchester, and
seeonding him Is DR.. William Carter,
former pastor OF the Madison avenue
Reformed church and lecturer Of
note.
The organization, OF which the duke
Is the head, is known as the Interna-
tiona Education league, and he is in
ternatlonal vice president Of the inter
church social service bureau, of which
pr Carter is president. The two or
ganizations have become allied
through a common purpose which is to
put motion pictures in the schools,
churches and other religious and edn-
cational institutions throughout the
United states.
The service which these two organ
izations will give viii have been start
ed by the first of October and will
cover as wide field as possible from
the first. Later. as the field is en-
larged, there will be additions to the
service and policy and the serving of
10000 churches and schools is antici-
pated as one of the possibilities of the
aext five years.
The inter-church social service bu-
reau has already bought a large num-
ber Of religious and educational films
and will continue to get the best in
that line, while the contracts are al
ready drawn for many clean dramas
and comedies which will be shown in
the weekly program of pictures show
ing subjects which will embrace re-
ligion, travel, sociology, education, in
cluding especially, stories taken from
the Bible.
For the first few months, the inter-
church social service bureau will not
make any OF its own films, but next
year will see considerable studio activ-
ity on the part of the organization.
The service is to be supplied to
churches at very low cost for 5000
feet of film divided into five subjects
This service will include the installa-
tion OF a screen and moving picture
projecting machine. In the service
which will cost more, the bureau not
only will supply these things, but will
send an expert operator to the church
to install the machine and teach a To-
cal member OF the church how to
run 1t.
The present plans of the bureau for
making films is about this way. Three
companies of actors are TO be formed.
One will be sent to Palestine to enact
Bible stories amid the Oriental scenes
which surround the doings of men
ana women who are told about In
Holy Writ Another company win go
to Egypt for the same purpose; and a
third company will be sent on a tour
Of mission fields Of the world to enact
stories written around mission work
OF all denominations These latter
are expected to give those who sup
port the missions better idea of what
is going on there.
AS the work is enlarged local com
panies will be chosen to present do
nestle and present day drama and
comedy which will be used as part
Of The bureaus program each week.
