and Blanche Sweet. OF course,
genius like Mr.. Griffith would make a
wooden man act. While he does not
pick up everyone, yet he knows in a
minute when the right one shows up.
Use Less Money.
They used to throw money away in
the picture game, but gradually they
are getting it systematized. A differ
ent class of men are getting into the
game. Business men. AS for exam
pie, H. o. Davis, president of the Uni
verSal Film Co. He has probably done
more towards systematizing the pic
lures than any other man in the game.
The director is given his story. He
reads it over and then goes into the
producing department and there, his
story is estimated. He is given a time
limit, certain number of people, so
much incidental money and so many
days to make the picture in. If it hap
pens that one day is cloudy and they
can not work outside, the light studio
is used. In the years output of the
Universal Film concern, Mr.. Davis had
it systematized to such an extent that
the cost of productions was less than
one-half of a per cent away from tho
estimate.
Public Is Fooled.
All this goes to prove that it is only
a matter of time, until we will really
know what we are going to get in pic
hard business basis. The manufac-
turer, exhibitor and public will all
know just what they are going to get
for their money. But, as the situation
now stands, the public really does
not know what they are going to see
for their money. They have been
fooled with titles and press agents
dope until they don't know which way
to turn. If the public only knew the
true merits of such pictures as In
tolerance 1.-The Birth of a Nation"
Daughter of the Gods ''Civiliza-
tion," and Joan, the Woman" the
theaters would not be large enough
to hold them. But, of course, the
poor many times hoodwinked public
does not know and the real master
pieces, that really cost a million dol
lars, are played at the theater and
they refuse to bite. One manufacturer
boastingly told US one time, that Il
certain picture which he had made I'M
usual efforts in exploiting had cost
him 5000 and had IIetted him clear
profit of $4,000. The public paid
fo- it and were fooled. But such men
as Mr.. Davis, Mr. Griffith, Mr.. Ince,
Mr.. Zuker and Mr.. Laky are gradually
changing the old conditions of affairs
And it will be only matter of time
until the dollar picture will be played
in the dollar house and will be worth
a dollar admission and the five-cent
picture will be played in the five-cent
house and will be worth five cents
admission.

ANOTHER DENT IN 1T
Judge Holdren to Dismiss States Gas
Receivership Case.

Independence, Kan, May IA
Judge ]. w. Holdren-appofnted by
Governor Capper to succeed Judge
John F. Flannelly-has put another
dent in the public utilities commits
sion's persistent meddling with the
Kansas Natural Gas company contro-
versy. Judge Holdren expects to dis
miss the gas company receiversnip
May 81 and books and accounts of the
company will be transferred to the
Doherty interests.
Altho Judge Holdren was appointed
by Governor Capper following the gov
ernor's attack on Judge Flannelly, he
has decided practically every issue in
the gas case against the contentious
of the state public utilities commission.
In a statement Judge Holdren said
that affairs of the company had been
placed in a condition where the courts
should not be hampered with the man
agement of the company and the COM
pany should not be embarrassed by
court restriction, regulation and su-
pervision. The action of Judge Hol-
dren follows the decision of Judge
Booth of the federal court, who re-
Gently held that the public utilities
commission could not interfere with
the affairs of the gas company and
that the sale of gas by the Kansas
Natural was interstate commerce and
not subject to state regulation and in
reference.

TO HAUL MORE FREIGHT
Estimate Third of Passenger Engines
Can Be Put in Freight Service.

Chicago. May 12.-One-third of the
locomotives now engaged in passenger
service can be diverted to hauling
freight as soon as plans of the coun-
Gil of national defense for eliminating
surplus" passenger trains is put into
effect, it was said by local railroad Of
ficials today.
The officials said that revision of
schedules to avoid duplication and re-
ducing the number of trains over COM
peting railroads betfeen the same
points was progressing rapidly. Each
railroad will work out its own prob
lens, making arrangements with COM
peting lines so that an equal share of
the burden will be borne by all.

ITALY NEEDS NO MEN
Ships Most Ardent Necessity Say.
War Envoy From Rome.

New York, May 12.-Enrico Arlotta,
of the italian commission, several
members of which have just arrived
in this country, received newspaper
men here.
1--WE do not need men at the 'front.'"
he said, because we have accom-
plished the greatest work any nation
could accomplish in providing men
for the war. We of course, shall be
lea, with which to pay for what we
have purchased here without disturb
ing exchange rates.
What we want above everything
else is ships to carry provisions and
war materials and we are sure the
great industrial power of this country
will be amply sufficient for our wants"
Mr.. Arlotta, was asked if the food
shortage had become sufficiently acute
in Italy to cause talk of a separate
peace.
No Separate Peace Possible.
Never mind peace talk, or separate
peace" he replied with considerable
emotion. Italy will not make a sep
arate peace in any case We
wish particularly to complete our ma
tional independence by joining with
our Italian brothers of the Trentino
and other districts in which Italian
nationality is in greatest preponder
ance.
LAS for food our next harvest will
be ready at the end of June, so we
have only one month and a half to
provide for. 1t will be medium har-
that shipments of wheat should be
large, but the Italian people are very
frugal and economical"
Mr.. Arlotta and his associates now
here are awaiting the arrival of other
members of the commission from italy

lege team as 1.-The Pinch Hitter" In
fact Ray proved to be such a good
bill player that he caused the remak-

Ray was supposed to walk up to the
plate in the crucial ninth and swing at
the ball; instead he swatted it square

had to be taken over again. Three
hundred feet of film were wasted.
