Two Routes oHsred.

"fAfter ships get into the Pacific

from, he continued. s'The great cir
Gle route, up the Coast by way OF San
Francisco, is 400 miles shorter than the
southern route via Honolulu. San Fran
cisco has cheaper fuel to offer, espe-
cially to oil burners. Honolulu might
have an advantage In serving coal

There will undoubtedly be an enof-

the Atlantic States and the west coast
Of the three Americas North, Central
and South. Hawaii Is not in line with
any Of this. All that we will get 80

our camera, was under more or less con-
slant fire for twelve days"
Mr. Dean and his companion. H. S.
Martin, were forced to follow along with
the army as best they could. and the
task OF packing their cameras, films and
heavy tripods over the rough and desert
like country was a trying one. made
worse by constant diet of tortillas.
In order to get good pictures We had
to set up our machines on elevated spots.
and the Federals seemed 10 take special
delight in practising range finding on US.
They were equipped with Hotchkiss and
Colt machine guns. which work at the
rate of thirty shots a second. As soon
as We would get well started at picture

tearing coarse cotton cloth, accompanied
by a strange, whining noise instantly
We would drop fat on the mezquite stud

punctures to those from snub-nosed bull

would jump up and take few more pct

SOUND AND MOTION.

webb's Electrical Pictures. the newest
form Of talking movies, begin the second
week Of their engagement at the Fulton
Theatre tomorrow. This attraction rep
resents the most satisfactory combination
Of sound with motion pictures that has
Vet been seen in New York. The enter
tainment provided consists of pro-
rramme which includes vaudeville. min
stre and opera. BY recording the SOUNDS
and taking the pictures at the same time
and reproducing them by similar device
a correct synchronization is obtained.
The apparatus used for transmitting the
sound was made with the view Of avoid
ing the mechanical tone which usually IS
apparent to some degree in photograph
Considerable success has been achieved IN
this direction. certain types OF sound
being rendered with a clearness equal TO
the original itself.

A DESPERATE CHARACTER.

There will be realism Of the most con
vincing sort in a forthcoming nstalment
OF the Mutual Girl series The film will
show an attempt on the part Of sup
posed anarchist or member Of the |. W. w.
TO steal the prize money offered in the
Tribune's Ben Franklin Quiz, in which the
final picture is published to-day The
money was on exhibition in the window
OF Richie & Cornell, at 1889 Broadway
on Wednesday, when an unkempt man
suddenly hurled a brick through the plate
glass and started to seize some Of the
coin. He was instantly pursued by the
guards and caught. The bold act attract
ed an enormous crowd.
The Mutual camera man, who was
catching it all, was so carefully con-
cealed. and the details were 80 well
worked out that every one thought IL a
genuine hold-up. In fact. At least one of
the afternoon papers grayely reported II
as such. and stated that the principal was
held for attempted robbery. The incident
should form rather unique scene.

MRS. FlSKE RETURNS.

Tess Of the D'Urbervilles,' with Mrs.
Fiske in the title role. is the chief attrac-
ton for the first half Of the week at Proc
tors Fifth Avenue Theatre. The picture
was made by the Famous Players Com
pany and was first shown in the city
several months ago. At that time it was
favorably received. Mrs. Fiske's ability
as a tragic actress, the excellent story,
and the careful work which was done in
preparing it for the screen were seen TO
give the picture more than average merit.
Airs Fiske appeared at the same theatre
when she was acting in the original pro-
duction.
4 number Of shorter pictures Will be
shown. and there will also be some vaude-
VILE acts between the pictures. Whether
or not IT is intended 20 thus remove the
Fifth Avenue Theatre from the ranks OF
the large theatres devoted entirely TO
pictures is not announced.

WHEN IS AN INDIAN?
Many Persons Think Mona
Darkfeather Is, but lis
Hardly True.

Mona Darkfeather is a sort Of histriOnic
paradox. She is an Indian in every way
except that she is not an Indian. Most
OF the picture fans who see Mona on the
screen each week suppose her TO be a
real Indian, but that is merely tribute
TO her art. She IL a native OF Los An
geles. and her ancestors were among the
original Spanish settlers Of that city in
the days Of the Mission Fathers
From her early childhood Mona has
been associated with Indians. She un-

Although Mona has spent much time
among the various tribes, and is regarded
by all Of them as a patron saint, She Is
an especial favorite among the Blackfee,
and Arapahoes. She spent last summer
among the former tribe. and at her de-
parture Chief Big Thunder gave her a
handmade silver bracelet as a token OF
esteem from the tribe. She spent much
longer time with the Arapahoes. being
among them for two years Chief Rising
Sun and his councillors made her a prin-

A REAL GEM, THIS
THE Lightning Conductor" Is
a New Sort of Picture.

There seems to De such an inherent de-
sire to criticise everything that II IS al
most painful to admit that any produc-
ton is without flaw. Yet such is the
necessary procedure In the case OF A. ii.
Sawyer's motion picture production OF
The Lightning Conductor" We attend
ed the private showing Of this picture, at
which, by the way, there was an audi
ence drawn largely from really exclusive
society circles. In company with a critic
from one OF the film trade papers. About
every five or ten minutes We had TO con-
fess to each other that as yet nothing
but excellence had appeared. So il was
until the picture was ended.
OF course, one can say that the film Is
not z good drama, but that is no fault
IL was never meant to be. 1t was desig-
mated to present rather pretty story in
a fascinating way for the purpose OF
providing entertainment and II does that
with a whoop. So far as We know, there
has never been another picture OF the
sort made, but we hope there will De
more. Other books by the Williamsons
offer similar chances.
1t Is not so difficult to see the causes
which make the picture a good one. First,
a film OF a travel story made by follow
ing the actual course OF the characters
I'm their travels could hardly help having
much interest. We have frequently sug-
gested that the superiority OF most for
eign Hlms Is due to the greater time
spent In making them. Here is an ex-
ample 10 support this view. II is an
American-made picture. but the very
fact that 1t meant a trip TO Europe and
an extended motor tour TO make il re-
suited in a more leisurely procedure than
Is often the case with a product OF Amer
lean studios. However The Lightning
Conductor" can hardly be compared with
other films, because II is In a class by
itself. a class of which it is the drst eX-
ample.
The cast is an excellent one, and is
headed by Dustin Farnum. in the role
OF the lovable young English nobleman,
who travelled as Brown" the chauffeur,
in order to be near the American heroine.
The story is not one which requires a
large amount Of acting. but wherever IT
is needed IL is well done.
The course of events is followed just
as in the book. The party travelled IN
two cars. one "A modern. up-to-the minute
affair and the other a wheezy machine
OF the vintage of 1901. which represented
the equipage for which Molly paid l.5Ol
OF her fathers hard-earned dollars. II
is hardly necessary TO say that the film
is a constant sequence OF beautiful and
interesting scenes.
Various clever aids are introduced one
is a map on which A pencil traces the
route OF the travellers. making a heavy
line at each stop OF importance. and
then going on Just before the scenes
which show the events on the way TO the
next stop. Another help is the Incidental
music. It is doubtful II any picture has
ever had music SO cleverly arranged 10
accompany il. IL is a fine illustration OF
how much music can do for pictures
The Lightning Conductor" will soon
be seen on Broadway.
