She seated herself on the arm of his

cheek against his hair.
"And l think it quite too bad" she as
sured him-"which is why l don't like to
talk about it..
She sprang to her feet again.

She placed Maxixe record on the Vic

1t was true that it was as poor old
Woodworking Don he moved toward her.
But there was magic in her 1.-THE young

there was magic in her swimming eyes.
AS he fell into the rhythm of the music

Warringtons have asked us to box

She wrote that.
4Next Wednesday comes the Stanley
cotillion. Have you received your invi-
tation?"
Haven't seen it" he answered.
"The Stanleys are always unpardonably
late, but helped Elise make out her list.
On the following Friday we go to dinner
at the Westons'."
She wrote that.
@On the following Saturday I'm to give
box party at the opera-the Moores and
Warringtons.
She added that, and looked over the
list.
"And / suppose, after going to this
trouble, I'll have to remind you all over
again on the day of each event."
"Oh, don't know; but" He hesitated.
"Well?" she demanded.
Seems to me we are getting pretty gay,
aren't we?"
"Don't talk like an old mani she
scolded. $50 far, this has been very

@Well?"
"You know, now I'm in business"
@Please don't remind me of that any
more than is necessary" she interrupted.
"Oh, all right; only, l do have to get

broke even. In those days, 1904, pic
lures were very Inferior and, owing to
the limited market, only few were being
produced. To keep the theater open,
they had to repeat some pictures as many
as five times month. The neighbor-
hood began to tire of these repetitions.
Zukor pleaded for more pictures. He
aroused Indifferent manufacturers to the
revolutionary possibilities of this new and
cheap amusement. Slowly, regular and
more frequent releases began to be turned
out, and slowly the crowds came back.
Zukor conceived the idea of getting well
known plays and players for pictures.
1t was his great idea.
The profession laughed. Two-dollar
artists appearing for five cents, walking
through parts, without any chance to
use their voices!
Twice Zukor went to Daniel Frohman
and twice the elder of the Frohmans
refused to help him. But Zukor took
him to his theaters, showed him the
popularity of good pictures, impressed
him with the the vastness of the mar
ket. Before the month was out Frohman
had become an enthusiast, and entered
into partnership with him. But even
Frohman could not overcome the preju-
dice of the actors themselves.
Between them, Zukor and Frohman
concluded that the only way to break
down this prejudice was to have the
greatest actress of them all appear be-
fore the camera They persuaded Sarah
Bernhardt to play in the silent drama.
The profession no longer laughs at
Zukor. His "insane" idea-the idea with
which he went out on Broadway and
begged-has to an extent revolutionized
the method of presenting pictures and
has brought movies to the dignity of the
legitimate. To-day he is paying six stars
Mary Pickford, Marguerite Clarke,
Hazel Dawn, Marie Doro, Pauline Fred
erick, and Jack Barrymore aggregate
yearly salary of 1857 900.
While other managers were waiting to
see how Zukor's idea turned out, one of
the youngest among them, Jesse l.. Lasky,
saw in it the logical development of
moving pictures, and went even further
with it than Zukor himself.
Lasky is paying Billy Burke $4,000 for
her appearance in one picture, and last
summer he wrote check for considerably
more than that amount for the services of
Geraldine Farrar, the first of the Metro
politan opera stars to be persuaded into
the movies. And Lasky has received too
many hard knocks not to be essentially
practical in these colossal expenditures.
Each of the leaders in the picture in
dustry will tell you that movies are still
in their infancy. Some are so enthusiastic
that they are confident that the day of
two and three-dollar pictures has come.
But the great mass of producers-the men
who have made fortunes-still attribute
the success of moving pictures to two fun
damental facts: they are an entertain
ment that women, particularly young
women, like; and they can be presented
so cheaply that the family purse feels
little or no drain.
Evening star., 1916-01-02

than pictures, so they sold it for junk and
borrowed enough money to get new one.
They interior-decorated the place them
selves, and when they opened it to the
public they advertised "The Electric
Theater-Just Like Home!'
Like every successful exhibitor, Hod-
kinson found difficulty in getting high
grade films. He opened an exchange, and
built it into one of the largest in the
West. His idea was that the public
wanted longerphoto plays-four- and five
reel stories instead of one and two.
AS Hodkinson prophesied, longer pic
lures were successful from the start.
But the market became so deluged with
feature films that prices were slashed
to shreds. For while it looked as if the
whole structure would collapse. Ex-
change men needed colossal capital to
carry on their business, and manufacture
ers, with each production costing from
$4,000 to $4,000, required still more.
A two-million-dollar concern with sensa-
tional ideas was crashing!
When gloom was deepest, Hodkinson
came East with an idea. He called to-
gether representative exchange owners
from various sections of the country, and
held meeting with the manufacturers
of features with whom they dealt. The
result of that meeting was the Paramount
Pictures Corporation.
Another man who Will tell you that OPP
portunity is usually only another name
for good idea, and that success lies in
confidence in that idea, is Adolph Zukor.
Like Laemmle Zukor was an immi-
grant, He came here lad of fifteen, a
native of Hungary. He got job in a
wholesale fur house, packing and unpack-
ing boxes at two dollars week. Hard
work brought advancement, and when
Zukor had saved enough he bought
partnership in Chicago house, and
several years later returned to New York
to open a fur store there. But the fur
business is a business of slow returns.
Zukor began to look for an opening where
he could turn his small capital quickly.
A cousin ventured in penny arcade,
and persuaded Zukor to look into its pos
sibilities. One of the first things that had
surprised him, on landing here, was the
way in which people let their pennies go.
When he saw the penny-in-the-slot
machine, he was Immediately struck by
its magnetic power in attracting this
loose change. He invested in one and it

ntinued romp
Continued from page 6

proved so popular that he called in Mar
Gus Loew, also fur man; and together
with the additional capital, they opened
nine in New York City. Then they
branched out into other cities.
But Zukor noticed that they didn't at
tract women. Patrons had to stand up
to look in the penny-in-the-slot machines,
and women liked to sit down.
What Does the Public Want?
ONE day, when he was making busi-
ness visit, he chanced upon store
moving-picture show in Pittsburgh. 1t
was only fourteen by thirty feet, and
it wasn't overfull. But in the audience
were several women sitting down!
He rushed back to New York, and
worked Loew into fever of enthusiasm.
Together they set out to find whether
they could obtain an adequate supply of
