So nsistent have been the calls from
exhibitors of motion pictures that Ethel
Grandin, who is appearing in Grandin
films In the United Film Service. has de-
cided to make personal appearances in
many of the theatres in and around New
York city, where she will do impersona-
tlons of popular actresses for her audi
ence.
"Bobbie" Bolder, while hunting Just
outside of the Chicago limits, shot huge
golden eagle, which strayed to this Sec
tion of the country in some unaccount-
able manner 1t measure nine feet from
tip to tip of the wings. The bird was
only wounded and "Bobbie" mended Its
wing and put 1t in the Essanay aviary
Unpleasant as the subject Is, neverthe-
less 1t is worthy of note that a member
of Thomas H. Ince's camera staff sue
ceeded last week in filming for the Mu-
tual program the actual death of an avi-
ator. The flying mans name was Thos.
Hill. Last Thursday he rose in his
at Venice, Cal, to height
of 5000 feet and was in the act of loop
ing the loop when one of the wings of
the machine buckled, and man and ma
chine started for the earth at almost un-
speed. The aviator was killed !
