PROGRESS IN PICTURES.
Demand for Better Productions Met
by American Enterprise.

The rapid growth Of the business
of producing motion pictures has
brought forward new groups Of
picture makers to succeed the older
companies, and because of the SUI
periority Of their productions they
have risen to a high plane almost
within a few months, A notable in
stance is the Metro Pictures Corpo-
ration, whose progress in twelve
months has placed it at the very top
as a producer Of great photodramas.
The Metro group includes four
great producing companies, namely,
Columbia, Rolfe Photoplays Inc,
Popular Plays and Players, and the
Quality Pictures Corporation The
Metro distributes the entire picture
product of these companies and their
star list includes such notable play
ers as Francis X. Bushman, Nine.

President Richard A. Rowland, the
leader of the Metro group, anticipat-
ed the demand for newer, bigger, bet
ter productions. and as a result Ne
tro Wonderplays have achieved great
popularity among the better class Of
motion picture patrons. It is Me
tro's policy never TO send out pic
ture that does not pass four tests.
These requirements are good, power
ful and entertaining stories, real ae-
ton and direction, fine photography,
and satisfactory aettiil ON the star

New York, in Los Angeles, and til
Jacksonville, Fla. A weekly publica-
ton. the Picture Magazine, is de-
voted entirely to stories about Metro
plays and players and its circulation

Metros success in the art Of mo-

pictures are shown in all the countries
of the world, and its progress is a tri-
butte to American brains, artistry and
