BILLION DOLLAR PASTIME.

Few people spending an evening at
their favorite picture theater realize
that the show for which they paid ten
or fifteen or twenty-five cents admis-
sion represents part of an industry on
which over a half billion dollars is
spent annually. And yet such is the
case. Five hundred and seventy-five
millions is what the producers of mo
ton pictures spend in a year to pro-
duce these pictures. The motion pic
ture ndustry-althOugh is it not con-
cerned with the neceSsaries of life, but
simply a popular amusement-now
ranks fifth among the industries of the
United States and ahead of the auto
bile-manufacturing industry. It is
surpassed only by the railroad, cloth
ing, iron and steel, and oil industries.
1t sounds like lot when you think
of the show you have just paid your
dime to see And yet there are Is 1000
moving picture theaters in the country
today, seating anywhere from 100 to
> 500 people. And the average daily at
tendance throughout the country is
%. 200. 900 That's a beginning, and
shows where the half billion dollars
and more come from. But dimes and
quarters are not all that is spent for
movies" The producers have enOr-
nous expenses. There are the salaries
of the popular stars who get $40, 000
or 5000 a year-not to mention
Mary Pickford and Charles Chaplin
with their fabulous salaries of $104 900
and $520,00O a year respectively. There
are also many lesser lights, actors en-
pIoyed as extras" who received SO and
s. a day.
Studios and plants OF the various
ments of from $4,000 to $500, 001
apiece. Single productions cost huge
sums. as the ads for million dollar
films" remind US.
The motion picture business has
grown with astonishing rapidity, and
it is still growing at a rate that may
give il third or fourth place in our
leading industries soon. It's another
great American achievement

A LETTER FROM FRANK p WALSH
To JOHN ID. ROCKEFELLER, JR-
CRy Dante Barton Of the Committee on
Industrial RelatiOns.l

Frank p Walsh has sent the follow
ing letter to John ID. Rockefeller, Jr.:
Mr.. John d. Rockefeller, Jr-. 70
Broadway, New York City, \. Y.-Slr:
The committee on industrial relations
has Just received from the supreme
court of Colorado, which is the court
Of last resort of that state, It's opin-
ion and judgment in the Colorado cleo
tion cases. in which your conduct and
that of your associates is branded as
anarchistic, fraudulent, and destruc-
tive of free institutions.
Thus fas you seem to have paid no
attention to that judicial cOndemna-
ton The court in its judgment found
that the notorious Sheriff jeff FAIR,
who packed juries, robbed American
citizens Of their right to vote, and ap-
pointed guards for your mines who,
as he testified, might have been red
handed murdereTs fresh from the
scenes of his crimes" was your agent
and confederate.
The court placed the direct respOn-
sibility for the most revolving political
and industrial corruption directly at
the door of your company. 1t declared
that the public election machinery
had been turned over to the absolute
domination and imperial control" of
your company, and was used by
them as absolutely and privately as
were their mines, to and for their own
private purposes"
The situation thus created by you
was declared by the court TO be so
repugnant to the spirit of free govern
ment as to be inconceivable," and that
its certain result would be the de-
structiOn of popular government"
Among other crimes found by the
court to have been committed by your
organization was the thrOttling of
public opinion, the denial of the exer
else of choice by sovereign electors,
the dictation and control of all cleo
ton officers, the sitting of public dis
cussiOn, the imperial designation as
to what citizens could or could not
peacefully enter upon public territory,
and the prostitution of the ballot; and
the court adjudged that such corrupt
practices absolutely destroyed the
free, open and fair election as con-
templated by the constitution"
This unparalleled record of crime,
so graphically described by the su-
preme court, was made by your agents
and personal representatives after
they had publicly testified that they
had ceased participating in offenses
of this heinous character. All of
these offenses, you will note, were
committed after you had assumed
charge in Colorado by sending your
personal representative, Ivy L. Lee,

was evidently looking for some one.
Patterson. who was standing In shad-

as the man saw him he said grumy:
ooh, here you are, are you? You're
the man who has been interfering In
what doesn't concern you. Move on"

On reaching his room he lighted a ciga-

the strange adventure. he could not
make head or tail OF it.
Not long after that Patterson and
his girl were at the movies. Patterson
was a sweu and his girl a high stopper
The performance was sensational In
one OF the productions Patterson saw
a fash picture OF a burglar opening a

photograph was such as TO set the au-

her face was one of horror. A few min

girl thought him the right man to car

Patterson's girl, on seeing him a
movie actor, had supposed he had de-

trying TO get an interview with her
and another month persuading her TO
believe his story. However, he made
1t up with her at last.
