FRENCH FILM FANS
VOICE THEIR VIEWS
Requesting Less u. s. Blood
nd-Thunder, They Praise
Paramount and Triangle


An Illuminating communication from the
Motion Picture News Paris correspondent
contains the suggestion to American nm
manufacturers that the French want less
hlood-and-thunder and more heart interest
from abroad The dispatch describes wide
spread agitation in the French press against
sensational and unintClligcut ClncmaS OF
United States make and warns the American
photopay producers that family hims are
the bill That probably means dramas OF
legitimate domestic situations.
The correspondent adds: ~ have men
toned in some OF my previous letters what
n success Famous Players, lasky ana TIL
angle firms have had. y Two AmeTl-
can films have taken Paris by storm one
Is The Cheat" which IL still running at
the same theatre for the last three months
The other is Nitagraph's Invasion of the
United States" The latter reference is
probably to The Battle cry of Peace
simultaneously with an announcement
from Mutual that stars and plays Of the
Charles FrohmHn interests viii appear in
Mutual pictures comes the statement that
the Famous Players Charles FrOhman Coalt-
tion has been dissolved. The death Of Mr.
Frohman is given as the reason for the
abandonment of the scheme. The new Mu-
tual-Frohman agreement provides for a
$25OO,OOO producing company, the Empire
All-Star Corporation Aside from the taCt
that a number Of well-known players Will
come under the Mutual banner by this move,
President Freuler points to the acquisition
of Augustus Thomas, noted dramatlst as
scenario supervisor for the frohman con-
cern. Work on the first feature Will begin
February 1.
Adele Blood the blonde actress who was
seen here several years ago in the stage
production of "Everywoman." walked OUT
on the Clara kimbal Young Films Corpora
ton the other day. Miss Blood's disagree
ment with the SelZnick forces is not eX-
planned in detail but she seems to have
objected to waiting around the studios for
her work to begin.
Some indication of the continuing growth
of the photoplay and dramatic industries
is evidenced in the statement that eleven
new motion picture and theatrical corpora
tons. with an aggregate capital stock of
S74G.O0O, have been Incorporated with the
Secretary of State of New York.

 "We made our headquarters in Ko- diak, going over to the mainland in the power schooner Hunter" said Dr.. Grggs. "Om party spent twelve weeks at the crater of Mount Kat mai We also spent four weeks in the Valley of the Ten Thousand Smokes"
 Prior to the eruption of Mount Kat mai in June, 1912, practically nothing was known of this Alaskan volcanic area. The eruption was in the nature of an explosion and was one of the greatest in the history of the world. IJ IS estimated that the quantity of material thrown from the Katmai era ter was as great as that which resulted in the projection of the Island of Kra- katao out of the bed of the Pacific Ocean.
 The expedition sailed from Seattle May 2S, going direct to Kodiak. The party includes Dr. Robert F. Griggs Ohio State University, head of the ex-I petition; James S. Hine, Ohio State University, zooIogist; c. F. Maynard a member of the National Geographic Society Washington, D. C.. who is the topographcr of the party; J. w. Ship ley, chemist; D. B. Church, Ohio State University, photographer; Jasper D Sayre and Paul R. Hagelbarger Ohio State University, assistant botanists.

KA7MAI SAFE FOR AGES IS
 LATE REPORT

SEATTLE, Oct. 1, (By MaiD.- Flaming Mount Katmai, one of the worlds greatest volcanoes which with a roar that made the earth trcmOIe for many miles, spit fire and ashes into the heavens, bmying Kodiak Isl- and under a foot of volcanic ash, IS as docile as a lamb and there probably will never be a repetition of the erup tion of June, 1912, at least for thOus- ands of years, according to Dr. Rob- ert F. Griggs of Ohio State Univer- sity, head of the National Geographic Society's expedition, which returned from the volcanic district last night aboard the steamship Admiral Evans.
 "The safety valves are wide open and the earth is letting off steam and gases from literally millions of active vents in a space of about 100 square miles, making a violent eruption such as occurred in 1912 impossible" said Dr. Griggs this morning.
 "We named this district the Valley of the Ten Thousand Smokes, and so informed the National Geographic So- cioty. This valley is one of the won ders of the world, for instead of the 10000 smokes there are literally mil lions of Assures in an area of about 100 square miles.
 "The entire volcanic district has completely recovered from the erup- tion of 1912, and the ash has practi- cally disappeared. l predict that in a few years volcanic ash will be a great curiosity in that district of Alas ka. There is practically no ash on Kodiak Island, and vegetation has re- covered completely from the effects of the eruption"
 Greatest Crater on Earth
 Dr. Griggs said the survey made by the exploration party proves that Katmai is the greatest crater on the face Of the globe, being more than nine miles in circumference and B. 600 miles deep The party also dis covered a mud flow seventeen miles long and mapped 1,6OO miles of un- charted territory. Two thousand pho tographs of the great volcano and the contiguous territory were obtained, and a collection of plants, insects, birds and geological data made by the

OYSTER MEN PROTECTED
Express Companies Liable For DAM
age to Shipments.

After a conference held at the food
control offices in Washington with
the vice-presidents of the chief ma
tional express companies and the rep
resentatfves of the Baltimore Oyster
Packers Association, A. E. Beck,
traffic manager of the Merchants d
Manufacturers Association, announc.
ed that the express companies have
agreed to hold themselves response
BILE for all damaged or destroyed
packages of oysters accepted for
shipment and transported by them.
The companies previously had is
sued a notice to the effect that oys-
tiers would be received by them after
October l subject to delay on ac-
count of congestion, which was taken
to mean that if the oysters spoiled
enroute the companies would not pay
damages sustained. The companies
also issued directions that packages
must be stamped by them to guaran-
tee damages.
The oyster packers at once took
up the matter with Mr.. Beck, who
told them that the announcement
was in violation of the Cummins
amendment, which guarantees ship
pers any damages sustained on ship
nents after they have been received
by the express companies.
Consequently Mr.. Beck arranged
for conferences washington, at
which the express companies agreed
to withdraw the ifnotice.--Baltimore
