EDISON VISITS
UNIVERSAL CITY
Guest of Company at Laying
of Cornerstone of Elec-
trical Studio

Universal City Is such an unusual at
traction that it is an object not only
for the millions of people who enjoy Sec
ing moving pictures. but also for many
of them who are actively engaged in -he
business of making them. Some weeks
ago Sigmund Lubin, head OF the moving
picture manufacturing company which
bears his name. was entertained at Uni-
verSal City and was shown all over its
vast extent. He was tremendously i'm
pressed.
Now il is Thomas A. Edison who has
been attracted to the greatest hlm pro-
ducing centre in the world-Universal
City. Mr.. Laemmle. who expected to be
present at the laying of the cornerstone
Of the greatest electrical studio in the
world. which is just being started at
Universal City. asked Thomas A. Edison
IL he would do him the honor of laying
this cornerstone, and Mr.. Edison gladly
accepted.
At $50 on a Friday night not so long
ago. before an immense audience which
cheered repeatedly, Mr.. Edison was
handed a large copper plate bearing an
inscription which chronicled the date,
the building, the fact that Mr.. Edison
laid the cornerstone, and other impor-
tant data in connection with the starting
of an enterprise which marks one of the
tory Of filmdom. but in the history Of
electricity as we'll, for the equipment Of
this studio. which has Just been ordered
by William Sistrom, purchasing agent Of
the Universal. who went all the way to
Universal City for this purpose. promises
to be the most important identification
of a single building which the contractors
have ever attempted. Representatives OF
the Klege people. the Cooper
people and several other important manu-
facturers OF electrical apparatus were
present, and several of them have been
commissioned to furnish electrical sup-
plies for the building.
Kneeling on the ground, Mr.. Edison
placed the copper plate upon the stone,
and 1t was fastened there while the crowd
cheered the great inventor to the echo.
The Klegel lights had been arranged In
such a way that excellent moving pic
lures we're taken Of this interesting event.
These will be shown in the Universal
Animated Weekly.

 Entry Into the Conflict.

London, March 11.-Contradictory re- ports are in circulatiin in diplomatic circles in London concerning the ques- ton of Italy's position in the war:
 "Omcials of neutral countries who have arrived here from Berlin declare that appearances in the Germany capt- tai indicate Italy's approaching entry into the conflict, while others assert that an arrangement virtually has been reached under which Italy will nit intervene on any side.
 It is said members of the ministry o fthe Netherlands decline to discuss the war situation except to reiterate that Holland remains absolutely neu- tral.
