AMERICA SEEN BY
WORLD IN MOVIES
Chicago JOurnaD

The vogue Of the moving picture ir
its spread of t1e far quarters of the
globe has become more than d SIM
pie means of amusement. 1t has
brought into closer contact races OF
differing language. those of climes
which have no elements in common
and people of widely divergent social
customs. By means of the films the
countries which have been active III
their production are already familiar
places and the steady gains that have
been made by the United States to-
ward leadership in this industry have
whole world to see America OH
the screen.
In the early days of the movies
and that was less than a generation
ago-American audiences grew en-
thusiastic over the French pictures
that were sent across the Atlantic to
reveal the wonders of this new art OF
the camera Reports received from
abroad furnish the information that

showing equal enthusiasm over Amer

| 1880 meters of film shown, 11.0O0
were American. recent report
| from continental country stated
that among the pictures of European
! origin many were reproductions OF
american subjects. From faroff
Australia comes the word tina,
films from well known American
companies are in general use" A
report from South Africa states
that interest in American family and
| political life has been marked
| Exports of films from manufactur-
ers in the United States increased
from 32.192,01S feet in 1913 to 1885,
| 751,7S6 feet in 1916. and their value
increased from s2,276.460 in the year
ended June 80, 1913. to s6.757,65S in
the year ended June 30. 1916.
In the last few months about 100
reports have been received from
| American consular officers in all
parts of the world on motion picture
markets These speak well for the
quality of American pictures. Credit
has been given for the quality at
tanned to the natural conditions that
have favored the sites of various
| American studios. American humol
is winning marked appreciation. Most
important of all, the world has
learned something about America and
wants to learn more.
Official figures reveal that pro-
ducers of this country have beer
| gradually turning the import trade
in films from the manufacturer
class to the raw material Not
withstanding the immense growth II
the scope of such entertainments in
the United States, imports of the
finished product have been dwindlint
for several years. But our imports
of unexposed films have shown sub
stantial increase in quantities. I'm
ports of such raw material amounted
to 44,717,323 feet, valued at $3.50,
$50, in 1914, and to 58,490,76S feet
valued at $750.Q23, in 1916. The re
duction in total value gives this class
of goods a unique distinction in al
era of high prices.
American pictorial art is beint
spread broadcast throughout the
world, while other countries assist il

that art is expressed. Through thi:
medium. the scenery, daily life, worl
and play. even the character of thu
American people, are made NANTES

The Price of Corn

Recently Amelia Brown, after reading an editorial
in The Republican iIf which this paper urged the
substitution of corn for wheat free the latter for
me army and our allies, commented upon the price
of corn which she said is the luxury class reply
to her timely questions made through the news
columns on Wednesday morning. it, being then ex-
planned that it is effort to save money that
the food administration is urging the use of corn but
TO make the wheat go farther. The wheat crop is
short and the crop is abnormay large AT
home we understand the of cornmeal but abroad
they do not understand its uses and have not the
facilities for cooking it we have
Mrs. Brown today suggests a further thought in
connection with this question. In a note to
The Republican she writes
Il understand and am in full accord with the effort
being made to wheat but what | can't I'M
derstand is why have to pay seven and third
cents pound for cornmeal lit has dropped slightly
since wrote last, when the bins of the corn belt
are groaning with this years unsod crop which they
cannot sell even at low price by reason of lack of
market facilities. Why isn't that remedied?'
This is a pertinent question which it is not too
easy The first problem that of market
ing, is always difficult one in this country Market
ing is study which the Uunited States Bureau of
Markets is working upon every day and progress is
steadily being made but much inefficency still ex-
lists notwithstanding. Cornmea is a in point
In districts where it is manufactured it is a drug
on the market and in districts where it is sought
1t is so scarce the price is high Undoubtedly Mr.
Hoover will turn his attention this condition for
1t would never do to allow the crop to be wasted
for lack of proper marketing facilities.
Now as to the price control Mrs Brown will I'M
doubleday have noticed in the Press dis
patches in The Republican that President Wilson has
already taken steps to fix prices all food
stuffs. This is the answer to the argument of the
farmers that il is unfair to fix the price of wheat
at s225 and not the price of other foods grains
One thing is certain and that but little progress
will be made in substituting corn for wheat unless
it may be done without greater cost to the consumer
With short wheat crop and a long corn one there
is no reason why corn should not sell at less than
wheat 1t is the law of supply of demand which is
above any man-made law of the land

Learning by Experience

America goes into the world with one great
adVantage-the nation does not have to make the
multitude OF mistakes which have been made by all
sides to the conflict. First and foremost we are I'M
usually well prepared. from the experience gained by
our allies, in guarding against any unnecessary loss
of life on the part of men and in saving and
conserving the lives of such may be wounded.
When the wounded began to come back to
England and France. in less measure, Germany
these countries hardly knew what do with them.
1t obvious that if they could be trained

thereby, but the problem. find what they
could do fit them for it.
America knows that it will have that problem to
deal with the moment our men get to the front and
face the shell fire of the enemy, but it not the
intention of this government stand idly by and
await that time without anticipatory planning. The
surgeon generals office addressed letters to
county medical societies. relative to the rehabilita

successful following injury. Arrangements being
made for special treatments for the wounded, ncud-

All this information is being studied and the

the Judgment being excellently planned to re-
store to usefulness many of the injured as
possible.
IT is marvellous what handicaps men overcome. In
all the warning nations returned soldiers deprived
seemingly indispensable parts of their bodies gal

in life by the institutions which have sprung up

COHAN AND LOVE
 ON LYCEUM BILL

A wonderful tribute to the local popularity of George M. Conan was paid yesterday afternoon and last eve- ming when he appeared at the Ly- ceum theater in picturization of his own play, Seven Keys To Baldpate," and was greeted by a packed house. That his efforts did not go without notice was indicated throughout by the willingness of the audience to show appreciation of his wonderful acting.
 Differing from most pictures of it's kind, "Seven Keys To Baldpate" dares to mix a little sentiment here and there with. really dramatic moments, and the intending changes from trag- edy to comedy and back again, with something new each moment, gives the play an aspect of a comedy -trag- edy if there is such a class of pro- duction.
