artistic conceptions appeal to me,

Selig environment. l feel there are
opportunities in motion picture work
that are somewhat lacking in stage

myself is obliged to admit this fact.
concluded upon taking up this
work to permit the director to di-
rect and the actor to act. Maybe the
failures registered by some actors and
actresses, who turn to the motion pic
lures. are caused by the fact that they
assume know-it-all attitude. They
refuse instruction, claiming that years
of experience on the stage cause them
to be well qualified to act for the
screen. For my part, I have found
many new details to comprehend

The art Of makeup, for example,
must be altered to a certain extent
Makeup appropriate for the footlights

dio. Then again, there is new tech
nique to comprehend, a more limited
space for the action, and there is no
audience to spur one along.

thought the industry but q flash in the
pan. But with the advancement, the
wonderful strides onward and up
ward, I experienced a change of
heart. I was informed that people
who never before could afford to see
my acting would now be given an op-
portunity because the prices for the
silent drama are not so high. I was
informed that pictureplay audiences
were cxacting, and as appreciative
and as plant as those who frequent
the legitimate theaters. l believe
this to be true. I have been visiting
many piotureplay theaters, and
have been studying the audiences. I
believe that my art will not suffer and
that l am in a humble way contrib
uting to the enjoyment of the masses,

Mrs. Powers and have little son,
and naturally all our hopes are cen
tered in him. And when he grows in
years the art of the motion pictures
will do much for his education. He
will have educational advantages that
never had. His mind will be. broad
ened without the vexations of extend
ed travel; he will have learned at an
early age the wonderful story Of the
bee and other secrets of nature, his
imagination will have been cultivated
by visits to motion picture dramas OF
higher class; without imagination
human being is nothing. When boy
read fairy tales illustrated with col
ored plates. My son can see the liv-
ing, moving fairy stories on the mo-
ton picture screen, and fairy stories
are educating for they cultivate the
imagination; bring higher thoughts
and fancies; tend to refinement and
gentleness

torical events will not be obliged to
depend upon the opinions. and the
ideas, and the prejudices of others. In
stead he will enter a large record
room. ask for motion picture films OF
this or that period. and he will see
at first hand the modes of dress, the
architecture, the armaments, the Gus
toms of living OF the people OF that
particular historical period.
Before the advent of the motion pic
ture, some Europeans believed that
Buffalo. N. Y, was so named because
buffaloes roamed there; they thought
Chicago was on the border of the
western wilderness. After the motion
picture had flashed true to life scenes
in and about these great cities, the
Europeans received a more enlight-
ened conception Of the, life and won
ders of this great country
l believe that between the pillars
of the great churches, the motion pic
ture screen will sooner or later be
permanently fastened Why not?
Seeing is believingl Pointing to the
motion picture screen as the pictures
appear, the clergyman will exclaim:
This is Jerusalem; here we see the
Mount OF Olives; here is where the
Bible tells us Christ was crucifed;
this is the Sea of Galilee. In this
manner the Bible will be made yet
more dear to many. and its lessons
made the more vivid and impres-
sive.
And I often hear adverse comments
upon the melodrama of the motion
pictures. This melodrama is not so
bad; / speak from experience; there
is always moral lesson in movie mel
odrama and many are beautifully
pictured like great paintings of
tragic action. We must all have our
tragedies, our melodramas in real
life, and what, by the way. is more
melodramatic than the Bible and
Shakespeare?

A Real Flying Dragon.

What is said to be the only reptile
that can fly has been recently discov-
cred in Borneo. This creature Is liz
ard about ten inches long, it's body bril-
liantly coIored. 1t does not have wings
in the usual understanding Of the term,
but it's ribs, widely extended, enable the
lizard to soar in much the same way
that an aeroplane or bird drifts on =
current of air.
These flying lizards commonly travel
in swarms, frequenting the deepest
forests. Seen at distance they are
said to look much like birds, witn>their
brilliantly bodies. Science has
not as yet hit upon a name for the
newly discovered species of reptile,
has called It the flying dragon. which

How to Toll Rank q ofsear

It is possible to tell an army mans
rank by any one of dozen details
about his appearance.
Take, for instance, the cord on the
soldiers hat 1t it's a plain blue cord,
it belongs to an infantry soldier; II it's
red, the wearer belongs to the artillery,
and if yellow to the cavalry. The hat
cord worn by an officer is Of black and
gold with two little gold acorns.
When caps are worn the soldiers cap
10 the same shape as the officers, but

the crossed arms Of his service and the
regimental number. The officers can

The collars Of the coat also tell their
tale to the experienced eye. The SOL
diers collar has disc Of bronze With
the name Of his state; il q regular n
has u. S." On the other side of the
collar another disc gives his regiment
company and arm Of service. The on
GERS collar has no discs. It tells his
state, arm of service and regiment. II
q regular officer, the state is omitted
and the symbol III. S." is used. The

rifles for infantry. crossed sabers for
cavalry and crossed cannons for artil-
lery. First lieutenant has a silver bar
and Il q captain, two bars.

ing and nothing else, the wearer is a
soldier. That Of the officer Is distin-
guished by row Of brown braid.

Chicago, Aug. 11-Improved demand
and continued scantiness of receipts
sent hog prices soaring anew today
but the fresh gains were not all held.
Heavies sold up to s17.10, a new record.
Combined receipts of hogs at all the
leading markets were disappointingly
small Friday. Eleven points had $4,000
less than a week ago and $4,000 less
than a year ago. The seven leading
western markets received $4,000 of the
$4,000 at eleven points. Omaha alone
had 400 less than week ago, with
decrease Of $500 at Chicago, s.4o0 at
Kansas City and 300 at st. Joseph
For the first five days of this week
eleven markets received a total of S45,-
600, being $4,000 less than a week ago,
and $1,000 less than year ago. Seven
markets had $4,000 so far this week,
or $4,000 less than week ago, $4,000
less than q year ago and $1,000 more
than same period two years ago.
Cattle.
Arrivals Of cattle were consigned d.
rect to packers.
Choice to prime lots, such as have
been selling above 3l3. are IS 950 cents
higher than a week ago, while good
share of the offerings at sl1.76 q 1875

were 81 above last weeks close. I'm
der 50 there was probably less ao-
vance than on auy otfieI S:ase,
cept where they were Of use to
country buyer. Summing up the entire
market. the general advance measured
50G75 cents.
Chicago had 1000 of the 1000 cattle
Friday at the seven western markets
and a week ago the same markets haa
5000, while q year ago combined re-
ceipts totaled 5000. Thus far TINS
week western arrivals totaled $4,000,
or 1900 less than same period lass
week and $4,000 less than correspond
ing five days year ago. For the year
to date combined offerings footed o.
100000, or $4,000 more than CORE
spending period 1915.
Sheep.
Most of the sheep arriving went d.
rect to the big killers.
Local receipts Friday were lighter
than expected, but proved about IKE
last Friday q little short Of year ago.
Five days receipts Of 4s.3oo were not
much larger than same period last
week and showed a substantial de-
crease compared with corresponding
time a year ago. Seven, markets had
u 1000, or 1000 less than last Friday
and less than half as many as year
ago. Thus far this week western az
rivals tota1ed $4,000, or 1000 less than
same period last week. despite a local
increase, and $4,000 less than CORE
spending Ave days a year ago.
