BACK FROM MOTOR SHOW
BIoaer Crowds and More Interest

r. f. Niles and A. w. Elicit of
the Bennington Garage who have just
returned from the New York Automo-
bile show. report a wonderful show,
more remarkable for the marvellous
refinement and luxurious comfort OF
the new cars than for any new me-
chanical features.
New York is filled with hundreds of
thousands Of cut of town people from
all over the country and from South
America to an extent. estimated by
the New York hotel people as one
hundred per cent or more greater
than in any previous season, Rooms
in hotels are absolutely not to be had
unless reserved, not days but weeks

The motor show usually crowded to
an extraordinary degree any time af-
ter two o'clock each day was just a
packed mass of humanity all day
long through which progress was al
most impossible Without an ex-
treme effort one could not move ex-
cept as the whole mass moved.
The Hudson Super-Slx motor
launched year ago represents the
only real engineering stride in motor
car manufacture in a long period.
The Wonderful Hudson Super-Six
which in the past year has establish
ed record after record for power and
endurance was so far as could be
judged the most magnetic center of
attraction in the whole show. The
Hudson Super-Six Twenty-four hour
record, the Straight Away mile, and
the Cross Continental and Return
record are stock car performances
that other manufacturers and dealers
would give millions for the ability to
beat.
A year has passed and no car has
been able to make a performance
approaching these records let alone
defeat them Small wonder that pub
lie interest is at top notch over this
car that proved itself master Of all
cars. and is holding the position
against the efforts of the engineering

the center OF interest to buyers of

The Anxious Seat.

For seven years Marjorie Cassidy
has been the victim of conflicting
emotions. For seven years she mas
been wishing some star the best and
the worst of luck; for seven years she
has been torn with the fear that she
might be called upon suddenly to as
sumo the said stars role, and at the
same time has been most unhappy
for fear she would never be called.
The answer, if you have not already

been an understudy all those seasons,
but has never played part.
She was first chosen as an under
study to Nora Bayes when she was a

It is fitting that the week shall not
pass without a tribute in these col
umns to Prof Hugo Muensterburg.
The motion picture industry is per-
manently his debtor and the Traveller,
particularly this section Of the paper,
is grateful for the painstaking service
he performed recently as a judge in
our scenario contest.
In the motion picture world, as in
his professional life and in his rela-
ton to the great war, DR.. Muenster-
berg was unique. In every thing he
undertook he became conspicuous.
His mentality was dynamic and the
application of his beliefs and exper-
fences to any subject was always Wig
orous and original.
Perhaps the ranking psychologist
of his time. Prof Muensterberg was
indeed Brobdignagian among the Lii
liputian intelleets of motion pictures.

ire by his interest in it and by his

Having popularized the mind, he now
arlstocratlzed the screen. Between
the two great interpretations which
remain as lasting memorials, the dif-
ference was merely one of direction.
