suspenseful nature OF the story and
the fact that it was four reel fen-
ture are considered. Almost fmmed-
lately after the presentation of this
picture. Mr.. McRac's appointment as
director general was announced af
the Edison studio.
The creation OF director general
marks distinct change with the Edt-
son company as it places the dcstin-
fes OF that company in the hands OF

entire time to supervising and gem
orally directing all the productions

end of the studio management though
he vet will exercise an overseeing
hand over the whole studio. Prev
iously, Mr.. Plimpton's time has been
spent both on the floor" and at the
business executives desk. but, the

SCENARIO"
is Banished by the Lubin Com
pany for the Name,
ttPhotopIay."

In recognition of the development
of the motion picture manuscript
from brief and sketchy suggestion
into an elaborate and carefully con-
structed dramatic composition which.
as far as the work of the Lubin staff
writers is concerned. is far more
comprehensive and specific than the
usual speaking stage manuscript. the
Lubin company has formally banished
the derogatory term scenario" the
proper definition of which is merely
ia brief dramatic outline and es-
tablished in its stead the expressive
and now generally accepted word
''photoplay.
Henceforth Mr.. Lawrence S. Nc
Closkey is editor of phtoplays" and
the members of his department are
sphotoplaywrights' by designation as
well as in fact. It was felt not only
that scenario" was mfsnomer. but
that its application to work on such
dramatic and technical excellence as
is being done by Emmett Campbell

prominently with Mrs. Fiske's name
aad fame than any other in her large
gallery of dramatic portraits. Since
she originated the character about
fifteen years ago, its revival has been
demanded again and again. until II
has become one of the most familiar
figures of the American theafer.
Langdon Mitchell made the dram
atization used by Mrs. Fiske. His
condensation of the adventures OF
Becky from Thackeray's voluminous
work was signaIly successful, al
though for the practical purposes of
the stage, 1t was necessary to elm
mate vast amount of highly inter
esting material. relating not only to
the resourceful heroine herself, but
also to the many other personages
in the story For the screen. how
ever. Mr.. Mitchell's play will not
be used, a completely new scenario
having been written by Sumner Viii

The entire range of Becky's lively
and varied experience will be follow

INTERESTING SERMON
 ON CLEANUP CAMPAIGN

4. ,hs Congregational ehrreh Sunday evening. the Rev. HA. Deck. taking as his subject the cleanup campaign now on ir Tombstone, paid high tribute to that great woman organization, the W. C. T. U. and the many cleanup campaigns they had successfully carried on.
 Referring to the state cleanup which occurred last November. he said Sheriff Wheeler and other county officials were to be commended for their efforts to keep this part of the state clean. He also commented on the cleaning up of the cemetery and sad those who ori sinated and carried cut that work were to be congratulated, and that the "Prospector" was doing good service to the community by giving so much publicity to the cleanup idea. He pointed out that a cleanup cam, paign. in order to be successful. must be general; disease germs and the great carriers of germs, the flies were nc respectors of wall or fences; and that while one man might keep his premise: clean, and his neighbor did not, il would be of little benefit.
