Screen to Teach
 Correspondence

According to Monte M. Katterjohn,
 the time is coming when correspond
 ence schools will prefix their names with the word "screen" to designate
 that majority of the coures will be depicted by the aid of the motion picture.
 He says in part:
 "The screen will be the principal text book of the future correspond
 ence courses. Not only will the mo- tion picture be utilized in showing various ocupational trades, but it vii lalso prove invaluable in demon
 strating advanced and delicate sur
 gical operations. experiments in den-
 tistry and medicine. The cinema
 camera proved of great value is as-
 sisting to train hospital corps for first aid on the battlefields of Eu- rope.
 "Onlv the surface of the educa- tional film has been scratched. Won derful strides have been made this year More will be made in the years to come. Truly, the motion
 picture industry is an infant"

Pinchot is Host
 To Movie Players

The splendid estate of Amos Gin chot, United States commlssloner or Forestry, provides the setting for Vitagraph's new picture, "The Gray Towers Mystery" The estate IS To- cated at Milford, Pa.
 MT. Pinchot proved charming host to the movie players during their stay on the estate. His daugh- ter. a beautiful young woman ot the same age as Gladys Leslie, star or the picture, became close compan- ion the the latter.
 The two young women took many long horseback rides together, and the experience is said to have con- tributed much to Miss Leslie's eques- trienne performances on a runaway horse in the picture.
 Miss Leslie's role in "The Gray Towers Mystery" is that of June Wheeler, young working girl who inherits great torture. Her herl- tage is the ten thousand acre ranch of a recently departed uncle. She goes to the ranch and is installed as mistress. In a few days a worthless vagabond appears and proclaims himself as a nephew of the dead man and therefore a claimant to the es- tate.
 While this situation is being in- vestigated the new claimant, James Makinnon, is found shot to death Because of the girls technical ad- vantage in this death and certain circumstancal evidence she is ar rested as the slayer.
 June from that moment faes a serious ordeal. Knowing her in- nocence, she bears up well and with strong resolve sets about to solve the mystery of the murder.
 The manner in which she accom- plishes this provides thrilling enter tainment for the film spectators.

Bertini, Star of
 Italians Film, To
 Play for Americans

Bertini, the great Italian actress, a protege of royalty and the reigninC sensation of the European stage and screen, has become a new Metro star. Under a cooperative arrangement with the Caesar Film company of Rome. Metro engaged the service of Bertini.
 The first result of the arrangement will be the early showing of Bertini to the American picture going public in some of the two-score productions she has made in Italy. A second de- velopment of the Metro coup will be that Bertha will make new pictures for Metro and the Caesar Films that will excel her past efforts in sumptu- ousness and artistry. Prior to the signing of Bertini by Richard A. Rowland, Metro president, score or more of the largest pro- ducing companies in the United States and Europe had striven for the better part of two years to engage Bertini, but had failed in the at tempt.
 Since her triumps on the stage Bertini has made tremendous strides in the motion picture art; such strides that she has become the sen- sation of Europe There is as great demand for her pictures in England France, Belgium, Holalnd, Switzerland and the Scandinavian countries as there is in her native Italy, where she is the idol of the public and has many times appeared before the Ital- ian sovereigns by royal command and her film command and her film pro- ductions shown in the royal palace by Victor Emanuel.

Old Darky and
 ''Mammy" Are Filmed

The old darky and the colored nanny are characters that always appeal to human beings. Their quaint humorous ways and peculiarities are fascinating.
 Anyone who has been through the south or has been fortunate enough to have a colored mammy at work in the household and an old darky as interest these individuals held for them when they were children. The stories that these colored people used to tell! How big their eyes would be- come and the sincere look on their faces! Then how the rlammy would chuckle, shaking all over and show ing her large white teeth!
 Interesting? l should say they were. You could sit by the hour and listen to them and never grow tired at all. So interesting were those stories that many authors have re- vamped them and found really sale for the products. Others have studied the southern negroes and written novels and short stories around them
 Their ability to attract comes. per haps, from their simplicity; their ig- norance of the wiles and Receptions of the great world and their quaint dialect which lacks the harsh guttu- ,ral sounds of the north.
 Again, the interest may be stimu- lated by the fact that everybody is familiar with this type of character. It is found in the large cities, the small communities and out of the way places. Whatever the cause, it does not alter the fact that this type of character is exceedingly interesting and o. Henry knew it. It remained for film to put the master touch on this style of story in "The Guardian of the Accolade," which Vitagraph will soon release as two reel fea- ture.

 In no section of the country has this great forward movement pained ,onre impetus than it has in Texas. Fifteen years ago Karl Hobitzel1e. a business, man with Imagination, fore- saw the need of amusements of the better sort. As a result the Inter- state Amusement company was in- corporated. with Mr. Hoblitzelle. as its president-a company whose nnrn"se was to promote vaudeville of the highest type.
 The first theatre on the new cir c"it was erected in Dallas in 1905 after which Majestic theatres were erected in Fort Worth. Houston, San Antonio. and Little Rock.
 Leases were taken on theatres in other towns. Today the Interstate Amusement comoanv owns and oner- ates five of the most up-to-da+e. sumntnous'v-anpointer theatres in the United States. controls half a dozen other and grants bookinp fran "hises +o theatres cf the same class in four different states.

Children Cipe Up
Chrisfulas Party

Last Sunday morning the super.
intendent OF st. Paul's Lutheran
church said she had a suggestion
to make. Then she told the child
rem how much the children Of
Poland, which has also been one Of
the countries which were victims
of the war, needed food and cloth
ing. She asked the children If
they would care to give the money
which would be spent on their
Christmas party this year to these
little children over In Poland. In.
stantly every hand was raised and
the boys and girls of st. Paurs
showed that they were eager to
help their little friends whom they
liked even il they did not know
them. So sum somewhat less
than fifteen dollars was sent this
week to the Committee of people
which have charge of taking in the
money and gifts which Americans
give for the relief of Poland. There
was the usual Christmas service
and tree in the Sunday school last
Sunday morning.
Many other boys and girls Of
Richmond have shown what we
call the Christmas spirit in their
giving this year. for they have
been glad to give toys and food
or clothing to other Juniors who
do not have as many of these good
things as they themselves have.

Hunting Eye Deposits His Money
in the Bank
BY r. S. Alexander

BY r. S. Alexander
II want the bank to keep this
dollar for me-" said Hunting Eye
to the cashier. The farmer who
gave it to him had told him that
was the wisest thing for him to do
with it.
Every good" said the cashier.
How much Of it will you keep
for taking care of it for me?" asked
the Indian Boy.
why, we won't keep any. On
the contrary. We pay you for al
lowing us to keep it for you"
This so amazed the boy from the
North Woods that he was about to
ask for his money back, fearing
that people who were willing to
pay him for keeping his money
must intend to steal it or damage
it in some way, when the cashier
continued:
We'll take your dollar and lend
it to some one who needs money.
This person, because he needs
money, will be willing to pay for
the use of 1t. This payment we call
interest. Or we'll invest your dol
lar in land or buildings or other
property from which we will get q
profit. Thus we can afford to pay
you for allowing US to use your
money"
"Rnt how am I to know that the
bank won't lend it to some one who
can't pay or buy property which is
not worth the price?"
when the bank lends money, 1t
usually requires the person to
whom It lends to have property
which It can take IL he does not
pay. Then the Governneeeaat has
persons called henx examiners who
inseect !ae manner in which the
bank has made It's loans and the
property, it has bought. They also
see that the persons running the
bank do not steal any of the money
deposited with them. Oh, your
money will be safe here, all right."
So the little Indian Boy gave the
cashier his dollar, and as he went
out into the street, he felt = new
respect and confidence for the
great government which thus pro-
tected the people living under 1t.
