Expert Believes Art
Of Producing Good
One-Reel Films
Has Vanished

...ere appears to be a reversion OF
interest-or. at least. a partial re-
vers:on-to the one-reel film. and
the manufacturers are being urged
by The patrons OF motion pictures
to present more one-reel plays. There
is probably a demand for the shorter
films among a large class of patrons
that would pay an exhibitor to heed.
There will always be the big fca-
ture. Of course: but the big feature,
too. is getting shorter. And there
seems to be a rather well-detined
sentiment among those who patron
ize the pictures in favor Of a good
one-reel play along with their big
relief from the deeper sentiments Of
the feature.
An interesting experiment is about
to be made by the management OF
one Of the local theaters in this d.
rection. The Leader Theater in
tends to devote itself to short fea-
lures in the future. and to show two
or more at each performance. TWO
and three reelers and sometimes 3
four-reeler will make up the pro-
gram. This seems to be an excellent
plan. The filtn companies that are
making the best pictures nowadays
that Is. the regular program compan.
nies-are turning out quite lot OF
two and three reel features that are
much above the average.
At the same time II would seem

MAY NEED AN EXTRA
DAY TO PLAY GOLF
Unusually Large List For
National Amateur Cham.
pionship.

NEW YORK, Aug 3-Although no
official announcement has been received
from the United States Golf Associa-
ton headquarters. there Is practically
no doubt that an extra day will be re-
quired to run of the next national
amateur championship tournament. In
talk with Howard F. Whitney. the
L. s. G. A. secretary, last night that
official said he believed that the entry
would be so heavy as to necessitate
starting on a Saturday instead Of Mon
day. That would mean getting under
way on August ..
The championship In question Is
carded for the links Of the Detroit
Country Club, and as Is always the
case when held in the West, the entry
will be unusually heavy. In the event
of the executive committee finding It
advisable to begin on Saturday. August
IS, the entire field on that day will be
called upon to take part in an eighteen
hole eliuination test, when the sixty
four with the best scores will be el!g-
ible to start in the qualifying round AT
thirty-siX holes.
While a large proportion Of the en-
trants for the meeting at Detroit are
likely to be received from Western
clubs, there Is little question concern
ing a goodly sprinkling from the East.
There Is already talk of special trains
with reduced rates, an arrangement
that may also apply for the women's
championship scheduled for the follow
ing week at Onwentsia.

CULPEPER CLAIMS
NEW RING CHAMPION
SO Sammy Harris, Astute Man.
ager, HustIes to Look Over
Edward Crown.

Having piloted Kid williams. the Bal
timore boxer. to the bantamweight
championship Of the world, one might
imagine that Sam Harris. the diminu-
tive manager. had no other ambition,
especially as there Is no one In sight
threatening to snatch the Tigers crown.
But Harris is Just full of ambition. and
he is about to make a new start. this
time with a heavyweight. hoping to
grab the title from Jess willard.
For several months Harris has been
searching for a heavyweight and has
openly admitted It. Perhaps he has had
dreams of handling a big fellow and
grabbing off enormous chunks Of the
long green since childhood. but 1t was
only q short while ago that he let the
cat out of the bag.
Now he has a big man in view. Lit
tie Sam does not know much about
him. but he intends to learn something
very quickly. The immense piece Of
Edward Brown and halls from Home
land. Culpeper county, Va. which Is far
from the bright lights Of even the town

Brown. according to reports from
Culpeper. Is six feet ten and three
fourths inches tall. weighs go pounds
and is ''as strong rs a mule" The pho
tographs show very tall man with
arms OF unusual length. but they do
not bring out the wonderful muscular
DEVELOPMENT mentioned.
However. Harris Is taking no chances.
He Intends giving the Virginian a
chance and probably will take him to
Baltimore soon for the purpose Of look
ing HIM over.
