laugh, and spoiled the picture, and thus failed to qualify as an actor'
 But this little incident really led me to become irdsrested in the moving pic- ture game" Mir. Branham said, although even before that, during my connection with the newspapers, I had realized the tremendous affinity between newspapers and the moving pictures. As big news paper man, the editor of one of the most important newspapers in the west, sug- gested to me once, the newspaper presents on it's front page moving picture in words (and ilustrations) the events of the day while the moving picture does the same sort of thing on the screen. This idea had never occurred to me be- fore, but when you stop to think about 1t there really is a tremendous bond be- tween thes two industries
 "The first venture I made into the moving pictures from the producers standpoint was when I went into an or ganization, a company known as The Northwest Weekly making pictures of the type of the Pathe, presenting the weekly news in the northwestern section of the United States, showing intimately and intelligently the happenings of the day. This proved such a big success that it led me on to other ambitions, and very soon I found myself manager of one of the largest moving picture houses in the west
 Since then have kept right on," MT. Branham said, "and have had the most interesting sort of experiences. For in- stance, over in Augusta, Ga, I worked out little scheme that was different from anything anybody else had done there and it was this: I found myself one week with three big productions, one an Ince picture, one Griffith picture and still another DeMille picture Of course, I realized that I couldn't feat ure' these three productions, yet each was worthy of being featured so I got up a voting contest to see which was the most popular of the three great moving picture producer favorites; it was the most interesting thing that ever happened in Augusta in moving picture circles. The contest fairly ran away with itself, and"
 For goodness sake don't keep me in suspense a minute longer,' I begged; which won?'
 Now, which would you think?' MT. Branham strung me along, my curiosity fairly running away with me until he said, "DeMille," and I didn't know whether I was sorry or glad, because, well, I'm certainly Griffith" fan, and anybody who knows me knows that the very name of Thee" spells artistry to my discrjminat ting mind.

their novels pictureized crowd the the- atres. On the other hand the comedy drama is popular. The DeMille' pictures are attracting as much attention as any other pictures today. for not only are they artistically photographed, but with practically an 'all-star' cast of players. For Better or Worse, Don't Change Your Husband and We Can't Have Everything have been superb drawing cards
 ''It is my sincere belief that the nov ing pictures as popular form of enter tainment have only just started" said MT. Branham. They are more liked now than any other form of entertainment. and will be more so in the future. Clean, wholesome pictures, which bear the stamp of the artists hand, will be the pictures of the future, and it will be the pleasure of the management of the Strand theatre to present to it's large clientele the best pictures that can be secured"

The disposition to paas the buck
from one department Of the govern.
ment to another in order to shift re-
sponsibility for the present coal stu
alton reached climax when David

onto congress. He says, various ap
peals have been made to congress for
an appropriation SO that the y. S,
Geological Survey might gather sta.
tistics regarding the amount of coal
used annually in the country, cost of
production and distribution Con-
gtess failed to make the appropria-

that they are short Of coal that the
mines are practically idle. and that

month has passed. and SO far as
the federal government is concerned
it hasn't increased the production of
