in II, all he does is to go to a restau-
rant and ask the Teller that runs it he
should allow for a five-dollar note the
movie actors to carry on there, and
pictures is taken of it with a camera.
Then when you go to see the ffllum,
understand me, they flash on the
screen:
NED DISCOVERS HIS SISTER IN
A FASHIONABLE BROADWAY
RESTAURANT.
and afterwards they show the fashion
able Broadway restaurant, and on the
wall is sign:
CHILL CON cARNE, 15c
That's the difference between Mr..
Belasco and moving picture fellers.
What do they care about being artis-
tic if it's going to cost an extra ten
dollars, Zapp? All they want is to
keep the expenses down."
THAT'S where you make a big mis-
take" Zapp declared. Moving pic
ture fellers is eaten up with expenses.
For instance, the wages which NOV
ing picture fellers pays to their actors
is something terrible. Five hundred
week is small already"
"Well, why not?" Birsky retorted.

much capital as regular theaybsr
manager. Take this here Belasco, for
instance, which he specializes on re-
elastic shows with telephone switch
boards, restaurants and doctors offices,
and supposing, for instance, he's got
a restaurant in it, understand, then
every night that show plays in New
York or Grand Forks or Sandusky or
wherever it happens to be, they put
on the stage a real restaurant, with
coffee machines and gas griddles, and
they broil right there In front of the
audience every day steaks for ten or
fifteen dollars, because Mr.. Belasco is
very artistic that way. If he puts on
a restaurant, it's put on right; 1t don't
make no difference what it COSTS but

Hamlet for instance, and you call
Hamlet Ned and the king Mexican
Louis. Then you dictate the main
points to stenOgrapher and send 1t
to moving picture concern which was
formerly in the plumbing supply bust
ness or children's knee pants, and
you're bound to get away with it,
Zapp, because the only plays them fell
lers knows anything about is shows
they used to take their customers to
see, and if you are trying to sell a
customer goods, you naturally don't

"YOu don't take him to a moving

asking a customer to go to a theay-
ter and then taking him to a moving

yiting him to lunch and then blowing
him at drug store to an egg choco-
late with matted milk"
''At that, there's lots of people
makes a luncheon off of chocolate

Luck for Three Murphys.

Because they possess the name of
Murphy. three students in search Of
an education, are on their way to their
ambition, through the terms of the
will of the late William s. Murphy,
Harvard alulnnuS, who left 100000 to
the university, the income of which
is to support scholarships for men of
his name.
As there are no freshmen of that
name entered this fall, three scholar
ships were given instead to students
in the graduate schools, only one Of
whom holds a Harvard degree.
The holders are Clifton Murphy of
Georgetown, S. c., first-year student
in the law school: William A. Murphy
of Boston. in his first year in the
medical school, and Gardner Murphy
of Boston. a student in the graduate
school.

To Help Rapid Transit.

The blasting off of a 15-foot layer
of rock from the top of Coenties reef
in East river, New York, just east of
the lower end of Manhattan, and, at
the same time, the boring of two tun-
nels under this reef, constitute a dual
engineering undertaking now in prog
ress that is calling for unusual precau-
tons and skillful procedure, says Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. The tunnel
will serve as new rapid-transit link
between Manhattan and Brooklyn. The
cost of cutting down the reef is being
borne by the federal government and
New York city. At mean low tide the
reef has been 25 feet below the sur
face, distance that is not regarded
as safe for some heavily laden boats.
The new depth of 40 feet will be more
sufficient, it is believed. The tunnel
ing, which could not well be delayed
until after the channel was deepened,
is progressing ahead of and faster than
the river-bOttOm excavating, which is
proceeding at right angles to the tun-
neiS.

Hone for Poor Writers.

Motion pictures are being employed
for the purpose of making a scientific
study of the various movements in
writing with view to ascertaining
how poor writer's can best be taught
to improve. Motion pictures have
been taken of children of two groups !:
Good writer's and poor writer's. These
pictures have been thrown on the
screen for the purpose of Analysing the
kinds of movements which character
ize good as distinguished from poor
writer's. The Investigators are not yet
ready to make final deductions as to
what the films reveal, but they are of
the opinion that differences in rhythm
Of action and in the coordination of
certain strokes are among the char
arcteristics which will form a basis for
judging good and bad movements. The
advantage of the films is that they
can be stopped at any point for de-
tailed examination and comparison
of course, they can be repeated any
number of times.
