In the working out of this plan

That is the concrete answer to
the statement that the pictures

Definite Aim NEEDED.
The biggest need of the pictures-

ducers. So long as the public ac-
cepts what the producers give It

public. the producers must meet

reason to believe that the producers

LADY, BLINDED

Odessa, F1a.--"About years ago." writes Mrs. J. D. Powell, of this place. "T took several bottles of Cardui as a tonic, for I was run down in health. In fact I could hardly do anything at all, could only drag around and couldn't do my work. Life was miser- able to me and I knew I must have some relief, as I was so very weak. I would suffer with aching pains in my right side. back and shoulders would have such terrible nervous spells, which would come on me, and I'd fall down wherever l was stand ing. l would turn blind, as though had tainted yet kept my consciousness My friends would rub me. .., circula- tion was extremely poor. and the arms hands and limbs would be cold.
 My friends recommended that I try Cardui. ... l began using it and soon both saw and felt a great inn provement. ... My appetite became good.

Then came those nice screen folk, MT. and Mrs. Sidney Drew-and a bit later we saw Violet Mersereau and that love- ly Leonore Ulrich, whom MT. Belasco has made such a fuss over, and who is one of the best actresses, not only on the legitimate stage today-she's

 And now, movie fans" hold on right about seeing that adorable Anita Stewart! What kept her from being killed, with the people fighting and screaming to get near her, l don't know, for it took all the available "cops" to keep them back; she really is very, very lovely and has the sweet est and most winning smile you ever saw
 Along came Florence LeBadie, Peggy Hyland and Naomi Childers and dozens more; I couldn't get near many of them--only had to glimpse them at a distance, but round we went with the whirl, having the time of our lives.
 All the while the music was playing and the people were dancing and the stars themselves joined the dancing throngs, and befoEe long the scene was a veritable rainbow of cobra shim- mer with animation and laughter.
 Walters and one-steppers whizZed around and everybody was hilariously happy and the stars and the "fans' mingled together and everybody had 8 good time.
 It was a great show and a wonderful chance for the fans" to meet their favorite stars" and go away like I did, and say:
 Wasn't it lovely to see Harold Lock- wood face to face, and King Baggot and Earle Williams and to shake hands with Virginia Pearson and Mary Full Ter and little Mary Miles Minter?

New Strauss Symphony

Richard Strauss new alpensymphonie is criticized by Daniel Gregory Mason in the New Republic:
 Although simpler in harmonic style than some of the earlier works especial ly the music dramas. the symphony is by no means free from their sensational ism. It aims to titillate or to overpower the physical ear rather than to delight the mind or to purge the spirit. It heaps up means with all the frank materialism of the modern school, believes in force rather than in persuasion or beauty en- tirely lacks reticence, exaggerates senti- ment into sentimentality, and mistakes crude energy for enlightened will. It sub ordinates the generalized emotional ex- pression which is the peculiar gift of music to highly detailed pictorial sugges- ton 'tone-painting -carried out often times with childish literalness that re- minds one of the squalling baby ip the

gotten on the outskirts of the crowd than way around in another part of the Garden we observed an awful com motion; first, there was a sound of sub dued clapping and then the sound grew almost deafening, and like a wave the
 mob surged forward, punshing and el- lowing to get to the scene of hilarity. I know I turned pale, for I had dire visions of some terrible tragedy or som ething, but the worry was soon over for suddenly a big, fat, round lady, in front of me yelled:
 "It's Harold Lockwood." Then I understood; the king" had arrived; Hong live the king" With the rest I surged forward and found myself gazing at the manly form of one of the favorite screen ac- tors of the day, MT. Harold Lockwood of the winning smile; MT. Harold Lock- wood of the handsome physique; MT.
 Harold Lockwood of the vivid person ality; MT. Harold Lockwood, the ideal lover; MT. Harold Lockwood, who was causing the women about me to ex- claim:

 men who had looked sulky and jealous at first to confess Never did know these moving picture fellows looked the same off Of the screen as they do on."
 Yes, movie fans" I saw the adora-
 ble MT. Lockwood, and he really is a peach of fellow, when it comes to looks; he had on frock coat and a

 Commodore J. Stuart Blackton well comed the crowds in choice bits of ora tory for the motion picture board of trade, the opening having been preceded by a big parade, starting at Columbus circle, in which Mary Miles Minter headed the procession; Mary Pickford had been "advertised' to lead the forces, but at the last moment this popular screen favorite was replaced by another equally as charming and attractive.
 Among the many interesting things that Commodore Blackton said in regard to the motion picture industry was this:
 Starting as a mere novelty, a fad, a nine days wonder, this marvellous com bnation of literature, art and science, music and the drama, psychology, phi losophy, history and romance has out stripped in gigantic strides all contem- poraneous arts, and has resolved itself into the greatest of all the allied arts, unsurpa assed and unsurpass ble-the pho to drama
