ing this the Strand entertained more than three million people and received only six complaints. It was done by thinking out novel ways of exhibiting films, by drilling an esprit de corps in to his employees and demanding of them at all times marked courtesy toward every patron, supplying the very finest music available and doing every thing possible to create atmosphere for his shows.
 The exhibitor is the basis of the whole motion picture business, said the man from New York; but he has not advanced with it. He is getting into a rut. He does not think enough. If the average exhibitor spent as much time and gray matter on his own busi- ness as he does on that of his com pctitor, he would ave more of the pub- lie beating their way to his Goors.'
 He advised the forgetting of the mot to to give the public what it wants, on the ground that it was not sound and would not hold water. Rather give the public more than it demands, for it seldom knows what it wants" He closed his talk with this statement: "Tne greatest years Of my success have bStH lile ltiSl ltlttc, III WllCl HdNc not spent a dollar on billboards, and haven't once committed the Barnur folly Of trying to feed a wise public with flubdub which always reacts.

REDMOND ATTRACTION BEGIN
 MING MONDAY

The popular favorites, the Ed. Red mond stock company will stage at the ElkS thcater next week com mencing with Monday evenings per Iormance the cyclonic laughfest in three acts, entitled, Baby Minc." This mirtA provoking vehicle written by Margaret Mayo the author of Twin Beds" and other successes, was originally prpesented in New York by William A. Brady with Marguerite Clark and Ernest Glen aiming in the star roles. Since its inception the play has met with pro nounced success and Ed. Redmond considers himself extremely fortu- nate in securing the play for his stock company. The story center5 n'lt fired Hardy and his wife Zoie. The former is a young busi- ness man, devoid of iumor but tense bies while the latter is a petite little young thing with more charm than conscience; self centered, petulant and winsome by turns. She is low able in spite of her shortcomings and in spite of her diabolical schemes and clinging and affectionate pre- tense when she finds it expedient she is madly in love with Alfred at all times.
 The little family tiff that leads to Alfred's departure from the home and Zoie's plan to win him back, lays the foundation of one of the most mirthful and wholesome come dies ever conceived
 The situations that evolve when

Zoie decides to inform her husband that 6 little heir has arrived in the home, may well be imagined, espcc- ially 50 when it is said that the cX- pectant husband arrives home four hours ahead of time and all Zoie's well laid plans for the adoption Of a little cherub from the founding home have miscarried.
 Jimmy Jinks the good natured friend who has consented to aid Zoie is now accused Of crossing tEe wires as it were, and in order to make good and also escape the con- sequences which Zoie describes as too rucful to contemplate if Alfred discovers the deception; decides up on Q wholesale Kidnapping scheme. It is this move that arouscs the en- tire neigEborhood, even moves to ac- tion the entire police force in an eff fort to solve the mystery and sup plies the Hardy household with q bountiful supply of bouncing babies.
 The play is one riot of laughtcr from start to finish, the characters diversified and interesting and the stage settings a feast of harmonious color and delightful color schemes.
 Audell Higgins will appear as Zol@ the young wife; Roscoe Karns in the part of Alfred and Ed. Red mond as in the eXXcrutiaingly funny character of Jimmy Jinks. The lead ing players will be ably supported Ly tie entire acting company which includeS.

 This five-rart production of tine Famous Players Film Goa on the Paramount program is a delightful combination of comedy and drama. both of which elements of the story are thoroughly human. After the perfect acting of Mary Pickford, the story deserves the greatest praise.
