Tie NEED OF THE FILMS
Mr.. Lasky Acquts Everybody But the Poor

must we say. "Well done, oh. camera
man.. the great art owes much TO
you" Ii is a fact that in the last year
notion picture photography has ad-
derful lighting. perfect double and
triple exposure, a dozen wonderful ef-
foc:s, have marked the constant prog.
ress Of motion pioture photography.
The camera man is pronounced, with
firm conviction, "Not guilty" And the
modern new laboratories have kept
pace with the photographer Clean
films, fewer scratches and blemishes,
splendid tinting and toning the labo-
ratories are apace with the times.
Our scenic artists have progressed.
The sceLes and settings, Of all periods,
defy the criticisms OF the most criti-
cal; there can be no question on this
point. The art director and scenic
artist are eliminated. Also, We can
eXonerate their brothers. the prop
ertv builder and the property man.
Using AZ all times the real. the genu-
inc in place of the imitation, skill
fully duplicating the rarest art treas
ures Of the Old World surely he, too,
deserves word of praise rather than
celsure.
and now. most important Of all, the
director The old school men, the
pioneers, experienced in picture pro-
ducing from its very inception, striv-
ing, studying, inventing, progressing,
they arc doing their conscientious
best and are not standing still. Re-
inforced by the ablest men from the
ranks Of the dramatic or stage di-
1c.tors, who, bringing new ideas and
tircless energy, with world Of dra-
matte training and experience. gave
the motion drama real push for

classes can be exonerated. ] wish |

motion picture directors; Of their

their seven days week, Of their sac
rincing their social ambitions, their
family tics, giving their life. their
helrt's blood. to their favorite art.
No; the directors are doing their full
share. and at least are attempting, IN
every way they know how, to advance
the moving drama. But, in spite of
their efforts, the camera mans CT
forts. the art directors, scenic artists

ratories and the unnumbered thou
sands spent weekly by the too numer-
Gus producing firms. reiterate, for
the third time, that the motion picture
drama is not progressing to any ap-
preciablc degree at the present mo-
meHt.
Now. if all Of the above arc doing
so much. striving so hard to advance
thc new art, why is it not advancing
The answer is in Shakespeare's line
"The plays the thing" As in the
spoken drama. so it is with the NOV
ing drama. The play is always the
thing. the foundation, the heart, the
vitais. the very life Of the motion
picture drama. And our dramatists,
no-olists. short-story writers, see
narists, are not delivering real
plays. They are writing manuscripts

The Edna Earle Crum Concert
party, the third number of the
lecture course, appeared at the
opera house Tuesday evening.
The company, consisting of the
Misses Crum, Johnson and
Kvello, came by train from
Leeds and owing to the fact that
the train was nearly five hours
late, did not reach Hope until
nearly ten O'Clock. In spite of
the lateness of the hour the la
dies hustled into their gowns
and entertained the audience,
which had been patiently wait
ing, with a delightful hour and a
half program. None present
could question the statement
that Miss Crum is an artist with
the violin and Miss Kvello as ao-
companist pleased everyone.
Miss Johnson, who has a sweet
soprano voice, sang several num-
bers that were greatly appreci-
ated. The versatile Miss Kvello
not only presided at the piano
but sang in several duets with
Miss Johnson and also placed
the audience In a most enviable
frame of mind with her clever
work as an impersonator and

everybody else followed the same plan where would you
get yours? The place for money is in a reliable bank,

CHALMERS PREPARES
TO ENLARGE FACTORY
BIG DETROIT MOTOR CAR COM
PANY WILL MOVE 5O-FOOT
STREAM 500 FEET.

If permission is obtained from the
Detroit city council, work will be at
once started on the moving of Con-
nor's creek, now forming the eastern
boundary of the plant of the Chalmers
Motor company, to a point some 500
feet distant from where it now lies,
says a report received by Manager
Mansfield of St. John & Titus, local
Chalmers representatives.
So far as 8 known, this is the first
time that the expansion of Detroit
motor concern has made it necessary
to move a river or creek. The
Chalmers Motor company has recent
ly purchased large acreage in the
rear of its present plant. 1t is trav-
ersed by Connor's creek. a stream
some so feet wide, and to provide for
the additions which the Chalmers
company will erect during the next
few years it has been found necessary
that the creek be moved farther east.
The present Chalmers factory is
located on a 30-acre tract and there
are exactly S1S,SOO square feet of
floor space in the big plant. Present
plans provide for additions which will
bring the total we'll over 100000
square feet.
In planning an increase in produc-
ton for next season it has been found
that additional manufacturing floor
space will be necessary and it is pro-
posed to erect several buildings Of the
present type within the next IL
months. The company now employees
force of $500 men.
