IT CANT BE DONE!
To Avoid Smoke and Gas.

Simple way of avoiding the smoke
and gas which always pour into the
room when fire is lit in a stove,
heater or fireplace on damp day:
Put in the wood and coal as usual,
but before lighting them ignite a
handful of paper or shavfngs placed
on top of the coal. This produces a
current of hot air in the chimney,
which draws up the smoke and gas
at once.

at Only Costs a Nickel"

YOUNG Laemmle might have become
prosperous druggist, if he had not
located brother in Chicago, through the
columns of Western German weekly
This brother, older than he, was Western
enthusiast. He told Carl about the glow
ing opportunities there, and sent him
ticket and ten dollars, to come West. But
for twenty-one years opportunities and
Laemmle failed to meet. During that
period his story is that of million other
wage-earners this difference from
many of them: he saved. After working
ten years in Chicago, he went to Osh-
kosh, and became manager of a clothing
store. By stinting himself of pleasures,
making his suits last three or four years,
and practising all the economics of man
who lays aside fixed portion of small
salary every week, he had at the end of
twenty-one years $33O0-enough to start
a small store.
Should he risk it, or should he hold on
to the sure thing? Maybe you have
asked this question of yourself.
Laemmle had learned-for he was
always a close observer of how other men
made their fortunes-that one of the
surest ways of succeeding was to sell
something women wanted, and to sell it
cheap. Women had plenty of pennies,
nickels, and dimes to spend. Largely for
this reason, he decided to chance five

and ten-cent store There was no room
for one in Oshkosh, so he asked for a
vacation, and went to Chicago to look
for a suitable opening.
One afternoon, after he had searched
the city, with his brother, for location,
they passed a moving-picture theater of
the store type.
"Why don't you go in and rest, Carl,
while | run over TO the Officer said the
elder Laemmle. ats good amusement,
and only costs a nickel
1t was the first time that Laemmle had
been in moving-picture theater, though
at the time-the summer of 1906-pic-
ture theaters were numerous. He hadn't
felt that he could afford the time or the
money for amusement. But that phrase
of his brothers, at only costs a nickel"
gripped him.
What was it that could entertain people
for nickel?
He went in.
When the picture ended, he groped his
way through the dark aisle to the box
office and inquired for the proprietor.
"Can you really make money giving
this entertainment for nickel?" he asked
curiously.
"Do | look like charity worker?"
laughed the proprietor. Good-naturedly
he explained why the entertainment
could be presented so cheaply
The next week Laemmle drew his $4,000
from an Oshkosh bank, sent in his resigna-
ton to the clothing house, and finally found
an empty store on Milwaukee Avenue
that answered his purpose. There he
opened his first theater.
When he balanced accounts at the end
of the first week, he found he had cleared
close upon a hundred dollars. The sec
ond week he banked hundred and fifty,
and by the following month he was aver
aging two hundred dollars a week.
The exchange men supplying Laemmle
with films discovered how profitable his
methods We're, and put up the price of his
service. Without announcing his plans,
Laemmle opened film exchange of his
own. He had only $500 at the time,
most of which he had taken out of his
theater, and if he failed in his new enter
prise he would make enemies who could
drive him out of his theater by withhold
ing the supply.
This was plunging plunging with
recklessness that he hadn't believed pos
sible when he used to lay aside as much
as he could from an eighteen-dollar salary!
He had no difficulty getting customers
There were too many exhibitors rebelling
at the cut-throat methods of the exchange
men-who were not only charging ex-
tortionate prices, but who We're giving
out torn, "rainy" reels. Often exhibitors
would order one set of reels, and would
get another that their patrons didn't like
They welcomed Laemmle. His trouble
was in getting films. He now needed

raise money at the banks.

knocked at the door of
the largest theatrical managers in this
country and virtually begged them to
become partners in his motion-picture
enterprise, almost upon their own terms.
He offered to supply capital, studios,
experienced producers, even theaters
suited for pictures. They were merely to
supply their names and influence in get
ting well known plays and players. An
astounding offer, in view of the later de-
velopment of the business. Yet one after
another refused him. Most of them even
scoffed at his idea.
But the young man held to his idea.
To-day he's the president of the Famous
Players Film Company, and part-owner
of circuit OF theaters valued at four or
five million dollars and employing more
stage stars than any three theatrical
arrangements combined. incidentally,
his idea turned out so profitably' that he
can afford to pay Mary Pickford the big
gest woman's salary in the world-$l04,-

One of Hodkinson's principles is that
spare time is capital that one can either
waste or invest. Hodkinson made it
rule to invest his. In the early hours of
the morning, when there was lull on the
telegraph wires and in the train service,
he studied stenography, to prepare him.
self for promised opening in the gen.
eral managers office. Just as he was
ready to take this position the Gould in
terests bought out the road, putting their
own men in all the responsible positions.
Hodkinson realized that his chance of
immediate advancement was gone. He
must begin all over again.
Daytimes, to pay for his stenography
lessons, he had sold tuition for text
book concern. This concern offered him an
agency. He accepted it, and was so sue
cessful that they gave him a territory.
With this went the responsibility of financ-
ing sub-agents in that section. just as he
was making good and profits of six and
seven hundred dollars month began to
roll in, strike was called in the Trinidad
fields, his richest source of income. At
one fell blow, new sales and payments
for tuition already contracted for We're
wiped out. BY the time he had met all
obligations he found himself with only
enough funds to carry him week or two.
But he had tasted the flavor of sue
cess, brief as it was. Instead of looking
for a job, he looked for business.
He was in Ogden, Utah. One after
noon he passed nickelodeon with
young woman of his acquaintance As
they entered the door, they found
dark, smelly coop, and much painted
woman singing coarse song. Hodkin-
son realized that neither the interior nor
the habitues permitted him to take his
companion inside, and they turned back.
"Why doesn't some one start a movie
theater that women would like to go to?"
pouted his companion.
That set him thinking. Here was
form of amusement that by its nature APP
pealed to women even more than to men.
With characteristic enthusiasm, he de-
cided to open Immediately theater that
was clean, and that would give longer
and more varied program of pictures that
young women could see. He didn't consult
his bank-book- didn't have any. But
he went out with his theory, and borrowed
5000 from hard-headed business man
on the strength of it. He also found

owner-took the worst theater in the city,
because it was failure and they got it
cheap. They threw out the kitchen chairs
and the school benches that had been used
for seats, and obtained, on credit, regu-
lar orchestra seats. They found that the

Just when his affairs were blackest, and
he had given himself another week at the
utmost, manufacturer who had learned
of his manner of conducting business
called him into his office.
"Laemmle, he said, "we need men like
you in the film business. l know how you

months later he was doing a gross weekly

Fighting the Trust
THEN the film manufacturers resolved
to fence in the goose that was laying
the golden eggs, and combined into what
is still spoken of in the trade as "the

demanded that he take so much film or
none, and at a price that he declared
would eventually put him into bank
ruptcy. He refused, and they cut off his
supply. He sent abroad for the output
of foreign manufacturers. 1t was so in
ferior that he couldn't sell it. His bust
ness had been practically wiped out in a
night.
This would have discouraged most men,
but not Laemmle. He called his partners
into his Office.
"There is only one way out" he said.
"We've got to manufacture flm!'

tulated one.
Neither did the others when they
started"
"They control the patents, the direc-

"We'd better lay low for the present."
"And get buried forever!" exclaimed
Laemmle. "I'm going to make film.
Are you with me?"
One of his partners had faith, and stuck
The two men came East, and built small
studio on Amsterdam Avenue in New York
City. They hired small company of
actors, a director, and a camera-man, and
began taking pictures. In that company
were Mary Pickford and the actor, now
her husband, Owen Moore. Even then
the little star showed her heart appeal
on the screen, and the first picture was a
surprise to the trade. Laemmle saw his
fortune coming back.
"The Trust" fought bitterly, but
Laemmle held on, and just six years after
he had first visited moving-picture show,
he formed the Universal Film Company

organizations in this country.
