One-Reel Film Plays Will Be
Revived BY Feature Producers
Several Big Manufacturers An
nounce Short Length Pro-
ductionS.
TO FILL OUT PROGRAMS

After going in strongly for the
multi-reel feature productions to the
exclusion Of everything else. many
Of the makers Of motion pictures are
having impressed upon them the
strength Of an old-time one-reel
Drama or comedy on their programs.
The motion picture industry as II
stands today sprouted from a one
reel germ, In a manner Of speaking.
1t started with even smaller pictures
and one Of the producing companies.
the Mutual, has reverted so far back
to type in its endeavor to give Its
patrons a little Of everything that is
worth while to be found in picture
dom that 1t Is actually putting out
comedies and dramas Of real in
terest that are but $50 feet in length.
But the last six months has con-
v1nced even the people who deal ex-
clusively in big features, that one
Peel films are a necessity in the maxi
ing up of programs. Therefore most
Of the larger companies are now
making ARRANGEMENTS to go In
strongly for such productions.
The Paramount Company has just
announced its intention OF putting
cut comedy in onSreel lengths. The
announcement Of the Paramount COM
pany is of considerably more than
ordinary Significance.
Paramount Has Birthday.
This concern has Just celebrated
Its second anniversary as dis
tributing agency for motion pictures,
and commences its third year with a
prestige earned through conscien-
ttous effort.
There are few companies that
have contributed more to the ar
tistio progress of the motion pic
eure than the constituent bodies
q. the Paramount corporation. It
set very high standard for its
this standard. It has shown a
consistent progress toward artis-
Ito betterment, toward the devel-
opment Of the photoplay as a real
element OF instruction and enter
tainment, and toward all that Is
9ood ana wholesome In picture
1t has repeatedly experime ented,
reaching out into unexplored fields
to fnd material for motion pic
ture development and progress. It
has been guided by men OF vision
and of sound business ability.
Consequently the announcement
OF one-reel comedies to it's pro-
gram Ia of necessity an announce
nent of first Importance in tho
Aim world.
The production of the extremely
short, 250-foot dramas and COM
edies Of the Mutual company. to
which allusion has been made,
has been most satisfactory to
Washington patrons of this COM
pany. The Metro, in conjunction
with Sidney Drew. has been put
ting out short comedies for sew
eral months past, and II Is UNDER
stood that the Fox and the World
Film concerns are making ready
for the same thing.

BINGHAM HOPES TO BEAT
TED MEREDITH THIS YEAR
Captain of Harvard
Track Team Training
Hard to Win Either
Quarter or Half Mile

DILL BINGHAM, captain Of the Har-
ID ward track team, has one athletic am
bltion and that is to beat Ted Meredith,
the Pennsylvania captain. in either the
quarter or half mile run. Bingham has met
Meredith In about half dozen champion
ship runs, and always the Quaker has
triumphed. What makes IL all the horder
for the Crimson leader to endure is the
fact that on three important occasions
the Red and Blue flyer has been handi-
capped by the necessity Of a second COM
petition, while Bingham was saving him
self for one event.
In 1914 the two met in the quarter at
Cambridge, and Meredith won It in 4S 2-5
seconds, with Bingham In second place
Previous to this Meredith had to run an
additional heat in the half-mle lap and
then to prepare for the final in this event
later. The two men ran the final relay in
the mile event at the Pennsylvania relay
carnival last April. and once more Mere
dith was victorious, in spite of the fact
that he had run half mile the day be-
fore. On that occasion Meredith was
timed in AZ As seconds. the teams time
being S:1s, a new world record. Five
weeks later, in the l. G. A. A. A. A.
championships, Bingham switched to the
half mile, but Meredith again took the
two races. After winning the quarter in
a, seconds, Meredith beat his field in the
half in 1854 2-5, Bingham being unable to
score.
Despite the fact that Bingham has not
shown to advantage when pitted against
Meredith, he Is wonderful runner. He
has done 4s seconds in the quarter and
beaten 1856 for the half mile. His great
est weakness is the lack of that final
squirt which distinguishes Meredith.
This year Bingham is specializing on
the half mile, with the intention of being
on edge at the time of the 1. c. A. A.
A. A. games instead of the Yale-Harvard
dual meet, as Heretofore He and his
Harvard friends think that a new inter-
collegiate mark will be the result, and
that 1t will be made by either Meredith
or Bingham
Bingham is one of the most popular
men in Harvard. Just how much his
classmates think of him is shown by
the fact that when class officers were

SCORE THOUGHT DEAD
. IN zUIDER ZEE FLOOD

AMSTERDAM. Jan. 16.-More than
score OF fishermen and their families,
living on the tiny island of Marken. ten
miles northeast OF Amsterdam. on the
Zuider Zee. are believed to have per
ished in the flood rolled over their low
dykes by the heavy storms.
A telephone message from Marken
says sixteen OF the islanders were
drowned. and that big waves continue to
roll over the little point of land. Tele-
phone communication was interrupted
few moments after the message was
received.
There is a lighthouse on the northeast
end of the island and II Is thought DOS
sible some OF the fisher folk sought
refuge there.
Refugees from several towns inun-
dated when the Zuider Zee dyke broke
poured into Amsterdam today.
Queen Wilhelmlna placed the Royal
Palace here at the disposal of Burgo-
master Lodge. with instructions that
refugees be lodged there and fed at her
expense.

softening OF the spinal column.
Now, when the lives OF eighteen
American citizens have been claimed
by alleged followers OF the erstwhile
leader of the north, villa, the Ameri-
can Government proposals granting the
de facto government unlimited time in
which to seek out and capture them.
IL the de facto government forces knew
where Villa was they wouldn't have
the nerve to even go In that direction,
much less to make an effort to cap
ture him and his followers. The idea
of Carranzistas running the Villistas to
earth Is absurd.
I'VE are told that Jose Rodriguez,
the Villlsta commander, who Is alleged
to have been responsible for the wanton
murder of the Americans at Santa
Ysabel, has been captured and executed
II occurs to us that under the circum-
stances, more tangible proof of this
procedure should be Forthcoming than
the mere announcement from Carranzis-
TO sources. Perhaps, Rodriguez is dead,
but on the other hand, perhaps he isn't.
Who knows?"
The Carranzlstas promised to send the
body OF Rodriguez to the border, but It
never came.

U. S. Gathering Evidence

Tho United States Government is

Senator Stone has called a meeting of

There is certain to be a bitter fight in
the Senate over Fletcher's confirmation.

parties to his recognition by voting to
send an ambassador to his Government.
