PHOTOPLAY MEN TO
INVADE THE STAGE
Plans on Foot Whereby Film
Companies Will Produce
Plays for Runs Before Using
Them as Photoplays.
BY THE pHoTopLAY EDITOR

bI IttE PHOTOPLAY EDITOR
The most surprising development Of
photoplaydom In months Is the rumor that
certain unnamed motion picture producers
are to invade the stage, making produc-
tions of new plays for runs in the reg
ular theatres. Hitherto we have seen the
Broadway manager invading the photo
play industry-after be had waited long
enough to make sure there was money in
It and no loss of reputation. Now we
shall see the worm turn.
The idea of the photoplay manager is
that he can take shot at the big profits
| or Broadway and, whether he wins or
loses, have a certain advertisement and
good will for the film drama that he will
build out of the same manuscript 1t
isn't altruism. It's business proposition
But how does II stack up in that cate
CORY? Are the photoplay men going to
know the theatre gamble any better than
the Broadway managers who howl at
the hard times? Are they going to be
able to make as good productions at as
small cost; won't they have to pay
more, for instance, for better actors
than they use on the kindly screen which
shows a player at his very best? And
while one of their companies uses up
all lts time In the staging and acting
OF single play, won't they reflect on
how much more prohtably they might
have employed them in producing a
score Of photoplays? Lastly are a
photoplay scenario and an actable drama
so much alike as most people think; isn't
the art OF the photoplay distinct from
the art of dramaturgy?
Part of the above rumor carried the
news that three OF Broadway's biggest
producing firms are to consolidate their
moving-picture interests in such a way
as to enhance profits and get every pos
sible advantage in publicity and organiza- |
tion. The snapper to this is that they had |
been told by photoplay producer that he |
would pay the costs of production of any |
contemplated play simply to secure the
photoplay rights.
Wonderful things are happening these
days.
Bernard Siegel, though not an Idol
among the fans, is still one OF the prom
nent figures among the Lubin PLAYERS.
HIS line of work is usually character
leavies, and often occupies the centre OF
ne stage In the photoplays. Mr.. Siegel
vas born in Austria, and served many
ears In the stock companies of his own
country He then came to America. and
vas one of the first members of Herr

WOOL GROWING IN
CANADA A SUCCESS
This By-ProduCt of the Farm viii
Make Many Western Canada
Farmers Rich.

Alberta wool growers are looking for
25 cent wool this year. That is the
assertion made by a prominent sheep
man of the Grassy Lake district. 1T
is quite within the pale of possibility
that We will receive that figure from
our wool this summer" said he, "and
| would not be surprised to see some
get more than that.
The war has caused a great demand
to be made on the wooden mills, and
they have got to have the raw mate
rial"
The present season has been most
propitious for the growing of wool, and
the growers expect to reap a big har.
vest Of splendid quality. The winter
has been very even, and the sheep are
doing we'll on the ranges.
No special breed of sheep is kept
on Western Canada farms, and all
seem to do well. The advice of those
interested in the welfare of the farm
ers Of Western Canada, advise all
who can at all do so to enter upon the
raising of sheep. They have proved
most profitable to those who go into
that industry on a scale commensu-
rate with their means, and their farm
area.
The climate is perfectly adapted to
the raising of sheep, they are easily
kept, and as pointed out, there is good
money to be made out of them,-Ad-
vertisement.

DARNELL is FOUND GUILTY
Former kenosha Pastor Convicted Of
White Slavery by Jury in Federal
Court at Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Wis, May 15.-Ruth
Soper is not the wife of Rev. James
Morrison Darnell, wherefore he is
guilty of violating the Mann act in
taking her from her home in Ovation
ma, Mimi, to Kenosha. That was the
verdict returned by the jury on Thurs
day which had been listening to the
minister's trial in the United States
district court. The jury went out at
12:45 o'clock and its finding was read
before Judge Geiger at 1855. Ten
years in the penitentiary and a fine
of 10000 is the maximum penalty that
may be inflicted. Darnell was tried
on eight counts, divided into two
groups covering two charges. The
substance of the charges was that he
had transported Ruth Soper from
Owatonna, Mimi, to Chicago and
thence to Kenosha, Wis, for immoral
purposes.
The defense entered the usual mo-
tion for a new trial.
