The champions of Proposition

why the measure should be
adopted:
The "full crew" bill, which
passed the 47th General Assem-
bly, and which has been referred
to the voters, will appear on the
official ballot at the general
election in November as Prop
Osition No. 8. This law, as
passed, is more liberal to the
railroads than a majority Of the

States, covering this question.

seems fair and reasonable to

Mr.. Mantell refused an offer yes

MUSIC To Fit
SILENT DRAMA
latest EFFECT
Universal Film Company Employs
Composer-Radical Depart
ure From Tradition.

Noble kreider, one of the most sue
cessful of American composers, has
been engaged by the Universal Film
Manufacturing Company to compose
incidental music to the four-reel pro-
duction of Samson" which is now
being staged by the Universal with
j. Warren Kerrigan in the title role.
In measure this announcement
can not but be startling because it
opens up a new field, not only in mo-
sic. II is the answer to the demand
of motion picture patrons for Incl
dental music which will exactly fit
the individual film; which will bring
out and interpret the action and SEN
timent on the screen.
The demand for appropriate music
for the photOplay is manifested from
every corner of the country. The
practice Of o-called transposing be-
fore the screen has not been a sue
cess because few can carry 1t out
acceptably. The idea of using the
classical dramatic music can not be a
success because the emotions it re-
calls and the story it tells may not
correspond with the emotions and
story upon the screen.
Mr. Kreider's first labor was to go
over the scenario with it's author.
Mr.. Kreider saw that as to form
he must make radical departure from
tradition. The motion picture scene
is short and crowded with action.
Among the scenes to which Mr..
kreider has already put music are the
scene of the angel announcing the
birth of Samson, the big banquet
scene which includes an Oriental ball
let, the scene in which the priests
ask Samson to join them after he
kills the Philistines, and the terrible
scene in which Samson wrecks the
temple. The composer will put mu-
sic around all the salient points of
the drama

3-Reel Masterpiece
kathIyn Williams Risks Her Life in
Scenes With Thor, Lord
of Jungle

The realism which patrons Of the
best motion pictures are demanding
in all kinds of films is nowhere re-
sulting in more thrilling effects than
in wild animal pictures. Actors and
actresses in the movies take their
lives into their hands in order TO pro-
duce sensational scenes in which
wild beasts Of the Jungle play lead
ing part. In the lion picture, Thor,
Lord of the Jungle" which will be
seen in Atlanta this week. some Of
the scenes were so dangerous for the
young actress, Miss Kathlyn Will
liams, who had the leading part, that
men armed with rifles were stationed
just outside the cameras range and
kept their guns continually leveled
at the big beasts which figures in
the picture all the time 1t is in close
proximity with the young woman.
There is a drastic new departure In
this romance of the wilds in which
the actual capture Of the flercest AZ
rican carnivora is shown. The trap
ping Of a big roaring black named
lion is only one of the stirring Incl
dents of this picture. In one of the
scenes this lion, later tanned in a
circus, actually breaks through the
weakened bars of his cage and at
lacks the man who is trying to harm
the girl, who in the previous scene
has been kind to the lion. In pictures
of this kind the movies are attaining
a degree of realism that never has
been possible and never will be pos
sible on the theatrical stage or in the
