The ones he brought in were larger
than the average potatoes, and Mr..
Watson says he has twenty acres of

Some two thousand people who went

tribute to a beneht to crippled

Dorothy Bernard In the principal role.
Miss Bernard is more familiar to pic
those in the regular theater.
Miss Bernards performance was q
complete vi5ualization Of Madame But
terfly" for those who have long cher
ished an affection for the Japanese idy1.
The path5s and real humanity Of the
story were made % real. and with such
delicate finesse. that the curtain fell
on an audience that sat in silent won
derment for a moment before bursting
in applause that became an ovation.
Miss Bernard's support included A. III.
Van Buren,. Howard Lang. Mabel Kip.
Ben TaGgart. Harold Kennedy. and an
unusually Intelligent baby OF about three
years.
There was no tntermission IN the ione

Of mail matter. What does that mean?
II It is not lawful to do things, why do
the nations do them?"
Its hard to say. Jimmy" answered
Uncle Harry. Sometimes men disobey
the laws because they don't understand
them, sometimes because they deliber-
.ately intend to do so. Nations are
much the same as men. except that the
laws they obey are international laws.
It's safe to assume that England and
France seem to us to be disregarding
the laws about mail seizures only be-
cause they don't interpret them just as
the United States does"
"Did this note OF ours go to both
England and France?" asked Jimmy.
"Yes. the same note to both govern
ments."
Tell us about It," said Joe.
"All right" answered Uncle Harry.
"I'l do my best. You see. the inter-
national laws prepared at The Hague
In 1907 require nations at war to inter-
fere as little as possible with the mails
OF neutral countries.
England and France have appar-

Edna May as Red Cross Patron.

Edna May as Red Cross Patron.
The Red Cross is the beneficiary OF
the exhibition of the first film play
that has been produced with Edna
Nav in the leading role. The play Is
called Salvation JOAN" and was
produced by the Vitigraph Company
a short time ago. H. Is being shown
the first part OF this week at the
Strand Theater in this city. and Is re-
garded by film people as worthy OF
attention because Of the peculiar
circumstances connected with Its pro-
duction.
Edna May, who was probably the
most talked of musical comedy star
in the world fifteen years ago. retired
from the stage permanently when
she married Oscar Lewisohn. a Lon
don broker and partner OF Barny
Bernato in South African diamond
mines. Every effort to have her
come back even for charity has
proved unavailing.
The war drove her to this country
for q visit. and while here she was
approached by ]. Stuart Blackton of
the Vitagraph Company, with an Of
fe- to go into motion pictures. Mrs.
Lewlsohn Is much interested In Red
Cross work in France. and when Mr..
Bla skton became insistent she told
him that II he would pay her $l00,-
600 for a single picture. she would
also guarantee that the sum he
paid her would be donated to Red
Cross work. The contract was sign
ed and the picture was made.

Open Booking or Programs.

The matter Of the open booking of
motion picture plays which has been
more or less a question during the
motion picture past, Is a matter or
some moment to motion picture pres
ent, and threatens to be a paramount
issue in the very near motion pic
ture future.
The combination Of producing COM
panies known as the Paramount
Company, which has built what Is
probably the strongest business or
Eanization In FINLAND by producing
the best average feature films In the
business. is one of the organizations
that bases its success on the fiat
program or contract booking system
It's success has made II a matter of
more or less moment for anyone to
consider any other system.
Another combination of producers
known as the V. L. s. p. Company.
has recently come out fatfooted Tor
the open booking system. This con-
hi1h class feature productions that
runs 80 close TO the Paramout
standard OF excellence. choice be-
tween them more frequently re-
solves itself into the personalities
OF the stars rather than the quality
made such success with open book
ing that la offers a vcrv strong argu-
ment for its side of the question.
The entire question of course. Is
uD to the exhibitor and the patron.
The Motion Picture News has recent
lv made a careful inquiry in forty
seven cities as to how the exhibitors
felt about 1t. The result leans largely
toward the open booking. Twenty
four of the forty-seven cities. ma
jority Of one. report unanimously for
open booking. There are fifteen In
favor of the program or contract.
Six cities would like to obtain a di-
vided program. one favors combi-
nation and one Is noncommittal.
The exhibitors Of Washington have
declared for the open booking. buy
