Representative of Fl Paso Motion Pic ture House Visits Morenci Where Takes Pictures of Place and Its People-Empire Theatre Will Ob- tain Pictures to Show Morenci Peo- pie Upon First Release.

G. w. McElwain representing the Fl Paso Feature Film company, the company that made motion pictures of the many bloody scenes of the battle of Ojinaga between the Federals and the Constitutionalists, has been in
 Morenci this week taking pictures of Morenci and it's people, These pie lures will be shown at the Empire Theatre to the Morenci people prob ably within ten days after being taken, and immediately upon the release of the developed films.
 Manager Martin, of the Empire the iatre, opines that the reason for his sending to Fl Paso for McElwain was that he might secure pictures of Mo renci before the town forever loses it's most prominent characteristic, that being that it is the only town in Ia number of states completely without streets. This condition is not to last long, however, according to the purportede decision of the coun- ty supervisors that Morenci will soon have a street leading throughout it's eastern section, for a distance of more than two thousand feet, the .suposi- tion being that this street will be only the beginning of a number of others.
 The citizenry which for so long has been content to climb the many and steep mountain sides even as the peaceful burro, are already preparing for the coming change.
 The motion pictures made by Mo Elwain included some of the most interesting and characteristic of the many similar scenes of Morenci. The miners, as they came from their daily shift in the tunnels of the cop per mines, were caught by the camera, as were the children of the schools of the town as they were at their recess plays. Panoramic views of the town were also made from the many splendid vantage points of scenic effect. McElwain and Martin Tuesday visited the most featurable portions of the town, and fed the scenery to the modern mo- tion picture machine with dispatch and impartiality. The many interesting phases of. life about the main plaza, which serves the people of Morenci as a broadway serves the more nor mally located town, was the place for a stop of considerable length. They there bringing within the focus of the machine the comprehensive sights that daily transpire along the sub stitute of the ordinary towns main thoroughfare. MeXicans, burros, puff fng steam engines, passing workers and most modern of all, the many stage line service automobiles, all were included.
 The pictures made by McElwain of the scenes and people of Morenci will be awaited with eagerness by the Morenci people, who are through this given an opportunity to view themselves in motion pictures, which is not often given to a town of Morenci's size, and which were made here only because of the peculiar features of the mining camp. Martin, of the Elm pire will at an early date announce the time for the showing of the pictures, which were made at his request of the Fl Paso house, they realizing that the films would prove of interest to mo- tion picture theatre audiences through out the world.
