Fleeing Views.

One of the most important features in
the proper conduct Of q motion picture
house il the music. Some theaters have
crchestras and others possess pianista.
Both classes come In for the same praise
and same criticism, Where the music
with a motion picture performance IL
good II 10 soft and unobtrus1ve. without
any affectation of brilliancy on the part
of the pianist-and without attempting
to- be descriptive II will follow the gen.
eral outline of the pictures shown.
Music which il bangy. "ragtimy." or
which detracts from the interests in the
film by its own brilliancy Ii out of
place In the motion picture house.
In this connection I stumbled into an
unusual and most unjust criticism yes
terday morning. was talking to Mr..
CHASER in the box ONCE Of the Leader
when a patron Of the theater in passing
out slipped a card in the window which
read as follows:
when the public visit q picture show
ii is not very pleasant to sit In q church
like room. II you cannot afford music
you should not cheat by opening your
doors before your evening performance :"
The mans name was signed to this re-
markable card but I have omitted II.
The music at the Leader is good-not
any better than that at a number Of
other houses-but IL Is very good. The
two pianists there play well and do not
play their music in a disagreably bang
ing way. They. follow the pictures Just
closely enough to preserve the unity Of
the performance. And as in every we'll
conducted theater they rest from time
to time When the irate gentleman
wrote this card II was during one Of
these intervals of rest. might name
any number of theaters where this same
custom is followed. Harry Crandall says
he thinks 1t Is indispensable to good
music. The Garden follows II. so does
the Orpheum. the Pickwick. the Olympic
and a number Of others. The reason Is
obvious. II you want to have machine
like piano playing-colorless and mean
ingless-the proper course Is not to give
the performer any rest-but IL proper at
tention Is desired to the artistic POSSIBLE
tiles Of the musical end of the perform
ance then the musician must take certain
rest intervals.

REV. H. B. Goodwin is undoubtedly

Mr.. Goodwin died more than thlr-

estimated to run into the millions.
If the decision is not overruled by
the Supreme court, Mr.. Goodwin s

MAIL FIRMS ARE FIT
WITNESSES SAY CONCERNS USE
TRUST METHODS.
Retail Hardware Men Charge Cut
Throat Price-Fixinu TO Great
Chicago Houses.

Washington. March 11.-Great mail
order houses at Chicago and elsewhere
in the middle west were accused OF sell
ing at "cut-throat" prices and Of US
ing misleading advertising by Charles
A. Ireland Of Ionia, Mich, president
Of the National Retail Hardware as
seciatien; M. L. Corey1of Argus, Ind.
secretary of the same organization,
and L. R. Putnam of Arkansas, at the
trust bill hearings before the judiciary
committee.
Mr.. ireland said that his associa-
tion included about two-thirds of the
small retail hardware merchants IN
the United States. The existence OF
merchants of this class was threat
ened, he said, by the competition OF
the great mail-order houses, whose
business was increasing 10 to. Is per
cent. a year and already aggregated
$500, 100000 annually The Supreme
court decision, which makes it illegal
to standardize prices on trade mark
goods, he said, had been a great help
to these concerns, and if books were
admitted to shipment by parcel post
he declared, it would mean a saving
of nearly $2,000,000 a year to the mail
order houses in the transmission OF
their catalogues. Mr.. Ireland charged
that the mail-order houses. sold trade
marked goods without profit to kill
competition, while making up the loss
on other sales The small retailer,
who had to sell a few articles, and to
the same customer day after day, he
said could not compete with such
methods.
What we ASK he asserted, is a
! fair chance in competing for the
trade Unless this is given us the
country merchants will surely be
driven out of business.
I Mr.. Corey enlarged that the mail
order houses, misrepresented their
goods in their catalogues. He quoted
from one of the catalogues a descrip-
ton of paint which was guaranteed to
last twice as long as any other, re-
CARELESS Of price; to cover twice as
much space as any other, and to look
better at the end of seven years than
any other paint at the end of two
years Then he read an analysis OF
the same paint by "a state chemist,
showing that "a per cent. of its liquid
content was water.
THE country merchant cannot com
pete with such guarantees as that, 2
he added
The real danger of monopoly, ac-
cording to the retail dealers, lies not
in price-fxing by manufacturers, but
in the tremendous growth of the mail
order houses, which ultimately might
fix prices by agreement.
