business men, with whom he discus
sed the proposition and work will be
started at once in securing the sub.
scription of $4,000 worth of stock
by local persons, this being one of
the conditions under which the COM
pany will locate here. The first sub.
scription, however, will be for $4,000
in stock and as soon as this amount
is subscribed the equipment for the
studio will be sent to this city and
work will be begun on the manufac
ture of films
Mr.. Sherlock said Thursday that it
is planned to incorporate the com.
pany under the above name and that
local investors need not fear that the
company will prove one of the kind
that is described slangily as here to-
day and gone tomorrow" I'VE will
be incorporated and capitalized fol-
100000" said Mr.. Sherlock, "and our
charter will stipulate that the com
pany is to be permanently located in
Mt. Vernon. | intend to move to this
city myself and will live here" ''
Mr.. Sherlock now has contracts fol
pictures to be made by the company
according to his statements Thursday
and under these work must be begur
on the actual making of the pictures
by September II.
Mt. Vernon people may also get 6
chance to develop into motion pic
ture stars If the present plans carry
out as Mr.. Sherlock said Thursday
that while the company would, o.
course, bring its force of actors
among whom he named players o
note, here there will be large de
mand for extras" and characters foI
minor parts that must be recruited 10
cally.

Fine In The Apple Season.

Line the sides only Of baking dish
with n rich biscuit crust. Pare and
core enough apples to fill to the top Of
crust when sliced. Season with CHINA
mon and sugar Add little water to
make some juicy sauce, but not enough
to make 1t soggy. Cover with more
crust, piercing to allow the steam to
escape. The crust when baked should
be about half inch thick. If the dough
is patted out instead Of rolled it is not
so apt to be tough.
