Dogs applaud" Picture.

As this Is the first time the theme
has been applied to motion pictures

birds that regarded the fruit painted
by their owner as so natural that
they tried to eat tit gets by the
hard-hearted editor.
1t deals with Grace Cunard and her
dogs. And IL Is almost good enough
10 be true. II seems that when Miss
Cunard attended n studio showing
OF one two-reel episode from her
newest Of film serials, she took sew
eral OF her twenty-odd dogs with hen
1t might be remarked in passing
that dogs are Miss Cunard's fad,
and she really has quite a number
of them. ranging from Just plain
dogs to fancy thoroughbreds,
The dogs followed her into the pro-
lection room. When the picture
flashed upon the screen there were
sharp banks. first of surprise and
then apparently OF Joy. Then the
dogs ran to the screen, leaped upon
1t. and gladly tried to lick the hands
OF their mistress shadow. 1t was
not until Grace Cunard in the sub
stance called to the dogs and
brought them to her feet that the
picture could be run.

SPECIAL PRAYER FOR
PRESIDENT OPPOSED
Episcopal House Of Deputies
Votes for an Entirely New
Plea.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 1s-The house of dep-
titles Of the general convention OF the
Protestant Episcopal church today voted
to eliminate the special prayers for the
President OF the United States from the
morning and evening prayer service and
to substitute for them a prayer for the
safety and preservation OF the nation.
The same prayer will be used in both
services
As II In now In the prayer book. the
morning prayer asks for the President
the boon, in health and prosperity long
to live" and that he finally may attain
everlasting Joy and felicity. The new
prayer as adopted for both services,
wnnue asking that the President and ali
dom and strength to know and to do
my Will, makes no reference to hong
life, health. prosperity or eternal felicity.
Text of Proposed New Prayer.
20. Lord. our governor whose glory
is In all the world. we commend this
nation to Thy merciful care, that being
guided by Thy providence we may be
well secure in peace Grant to the
President and to all others In authority
the wisdom and strength TO know and
TO do Thy will. Fill them with thu love
OF truth and righteousness, and make
them ever mindful OF their calling TO
| serve this people in Thy fear, through
Jesus Christ our Lord. who liveth and
reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost. 7"
The house also voted, despite yigor-
Gus protests. to omit the words "the
governor of this State from the prayer,
II being argued that "all others in
authority" included the governors.
Before the new prayer Is adopted II
must be approved by the house OF
deputies and by the next general con-
vention.

Films for Latin-America.

A company has been formed In
New York for the purpose of pro-
ducing picture plays and news films
particularly adapted to Latin-Amer-
lea. The motion picture is very pop
ular throughout Central and South
America, quite as popular as 1t is In
the United States. The European
companies supplied most of the
Latin-American trade before the war
began.
The war cut down the production
of pictures In Europe to almost MOTH
ing and II IL necessary for the the
alter managers in the southern hemi-
sphere to go elsewhere for their
plays. They naturally turned to the
United States, which is producing
practically all of the film dramas at
the present time. Films made here
are not always adapted to the Latin
temperament. however. and 30 the
new concern. known as the Latin
American Producing Company, has
been formed to supply the need.

Superintendent Nesbit
Claims Funniest Job
Many Humorous Things Happen to Tighten the
Daily Task of District Superintendent
Of Ins urance.
JUNE CAPRICE.

Various members Of the District gov
eminent may claim to have the hardest.
the most irksome. the most complicated.
and the superlatives all sorts of Jobs.
Charles F. Nesbit. superintendent of
insurance. says he has the funniest. Not
that he doesn't work-no. he is some
claimant there, too-but the leaven Of
humor Is his almost daily.
The other day a series or complaints
began coming In against concern
with a high sounding Biblical name.
This was only one of a score OF such
organizations. claiming to pay sick and
accident benefits. which turn up con-
tinuously to tighten Nesbit's busy life.
Superintendent Nesbit summoned the
president" of the concern, a dapper.
red bow tied. gentleman of color.
II hear your company hasn't been
paying claims. Don't you know you
can't do business in the District. You
haven't any license" the visitor was
told.
Can't Seem To Do Business.
Now, boss. you'se surely said mouf-
that's why we amt paid them claims.
But We tries to collect mos regulah'
sub"
Nesbit told him he would have to stop
collecting in the absence Of a license.
Say. here. does this license cost
money!"
YES"
well, Mister Nesbit. that's Jest the
way this Gown ment carries on. Now. l
amt got no money to pay claims with,
yet you all want me to pay Tor
license so / can pay dem claims"
The organization has stopped collect
ing, but has not started paying claims.
The next day a company complained
that a physician had been giving fake
certificates. The complaint arose when
a beneficiary alleged he had been pow
| eTful sick" but could not collect.

Following Experiment With
Entire Week Of Single Popu-
lar Feature.
BELIEVE SCHEME WOULD PAY
Claim Managers Never Really
Give Popular Productions
Sufficient Showing.

A gradual change is apparent IN
the attitude OF exhibitors of motion
pictures toward the matter of
daily change OF program. and It will
probably not DO long before many
neighborhood theaters will be show
ing picture plays for runs OF three
days to a week.
In the case Of a popular play there
ls no reason why a neighborhood
house should not run II q week. and
q most interesting experiment In
that direction In being tried out now.
The theater involved. the Leader. Ia
not a neighborhood house in the
strict meaning of the term, but II
completes directly with the neighbour
hood house In the matter OF the way
IL gets its program.
At the Leader this week, Tess of
the Storm Country" perhaps Mary
Pickford's very best photoplay ef-
fort, Is being shown for the entire
week. There are several elements OF
experiment that the patron of the
neighborhood house would like his
home theater manager to observe.
1t was one of Miss Pickford's early
plays with the Famous Players COM
pany. II has been flashed on the
picture screen for a day at time In
practically every motion picture
thester of consequence in the coun-
try during the past two years. And
yet II has a popularity and drawing
power that doesn't seem to have
diminished In the least.
Program of Old Plays.
As a matter OF fact. the true
drawing power of a film Is never
really tested by the neighborhood
managers. And II would seem to
be a good business proposition to
try out n week or four day run of
such pictures as Mary Pickford in
c Mssrts AMsiTdftoweerr e eiars SI%
ball Young in Camille or Hearts
in Exile" Blanche Sweet in almost
any one OF her plays of a year or
more ago. Just to mention q few
of them.
or, to get back to a favorite topic
OF some OF the most ardent picture
patrons. business might be built for
a week of q program made up OF
five or six OF the old Biograph or
Edison one-reel dramas, showing
the same program every night.
There are many of the older dramas
that picture patrons would like to
ronizing pictures now who know
nothing OF them, and the old plays
would be brand new to them.
There would seem to be unlimited
opportunities for a progressive ex-
hibitor in these suggestions, which
come from very enthusiastic pic
ture patron. who has given the ex-
hibition Of films moro than ordinary
study.
