David BelNseo Writes of Moving Pictures

The great leap from 1909 TO the

Miss Young confded TO me later that
while she enjoyed her part in that
piece, size much preferred dramatic
pieces, with serious parts,
Miss Stewards role in "a Million
Bid" demonstrated how far advanced
the strictly motion picture actress is.
The part called for extraordinarily
serious work. and Miss Stewards ef-
forts were Aawless.

with an automatic agreement, and give

ROSE GARDEN TO OPEN.

The newest thing in the way Of pre-
senting motion pictures on Broadway
will be known under the rather lengthy
title Of the broadway Rose Garden
Theatre and Dance de Pierette," and
will open during the week. The resort
is a combination of motion picture
theatre, restaurant and dance hall. The
Thanhauser pictures will be shown
first at the theatre and will be feat
ured, as Charles j. Hite, president Of
that concern, is also president Of the
new venture.
The first pictures will be the open
ing instalment of THE Million Dollar
Mystery" and a showing Of pictures
taken under the sea by means of a
newly invented device. The pictures
were taken in the West Indies, and
show night between native diver and
a shark.

Gated at SD ST. and Broadway, and

THE AFRICAN WILDS.

Paul Rainey's newest African animal
pictures are a welcome addition to the
list of motion pictures on Broadway.
These remarkable views. which are
being shown at the Casino Theatre,
show wild animals with an init
macy which would have been consid-
cred impossible only few years ago.
The pictures were first shown at the
American Museum of Natural History,
and their value is brought out by q
letter written to Mr.. Rainey by II. F.
Osborn, the president. 1t IS as fol-
lows:

Great Diversity of Subjects
Offered at the Best Houses
Along Broadway,

The triple bill at the Nitagraph
Theatre is proving a happy combiAa-
ton. Not only does IL present short
pictures which will hold the attention
ON even the hottest days. but 1T offers
three distinct types Of stories. which
combine thrills, laughter and tears.
"Thc Violin Of M'sicur" is pathetic
story with a happy ending. The at
tractivc acting Of the beautiful collie
i'm this picture is by no means its least
attraction. Clara KimbaIl Young and
Eticnnc Girardot handle their roles in
a charming manner, Miss Young being
particularly effective in the earlier
scenes.
Comedy is at its height in "Nr
Binglc'a Mclodrama," while a serious
presentation Of the melodrama is seen
in shadows Of the Past" As usual,
the Vitagraph release will be shown
each day.

UNEMPLOYED REGIONS.

1t Is commonly supposed that littlC
uneXplored area is left on the carth's
surface, save in the polar regions and
that adventurous men like Theodore
Roosevelt will soon find nothing left
TO discover. But if one looks up tho
uncXplorcd regions of the earth. it is
found that there is work stll left for
the explorers. Alaska has an un-
known section as big as New England
There are uneXplored regions in
South America, Asia and upper Can
ada as big as California or Texas.
The Sahara desert of Africa was for
mcrly a great splotch of white on the
maps. 1t was regarded as valueless
1t was long argued as a feasible pro-
jcct that water be let i'm To flood it.
Further exploration showed the alb
surdity of this theory; by demonstrate
ing that it has mountains n mile high
with much elevated tableland. In this
supposedly valueless tract there are
great GASES, one of which alone has
100000 date palms. Considerable
areas can be made productive by plant
ing with coarse grasses and tenacious
varieties of trees.

leading to further search in South Am

suits are uncertain, and the govern
