Fragmentary Films
By James J. Montague

We soon wearied Of the little cir
cular films that came with our boy S
sized moving picture protector.
There was the horse that trotted
up TO a hurdle and lifting his fore
feet in the air. like a dog begging,
leaped over IL, much as a saw horse
would have done. The picture WASH I
inspiring, even when IL possessed the
element OF surprise. After he knew
exactly what was going 10 happen,
even the baby wouldn't look at IL.
We tried 10 intro luce "A little va
riety by slowing up the film. That
was interesting, for a time. The
horse would appear TO be waited
into the air by a gentle zephyr. He
would hang suspended over the
hurdle, like an actor in a pantom-
ime, and then alight on the other
side like a butterfly, giving his hind
legs a slow dignified kick as he did
so. When constant use stalled the
freshness OF this variant, we ran the
film backwards.
But even that soon lost its charm.
One horse, leaping one hurdle, when
seen for the hundredth time, pals
on the vision no matter whether his
fOrelegs or hindlegs take the initia-
tive.
The little children who rang
around the rosy" were not fascinat-
ing at the start. After we had look
ed at them a dozen times, and dis
covered that never by any chance
would one OF them fall down and
bark his nose, or even get scratched
on the rosy" we laid the film aside
There is an inevitableness about
a film that saddens the heart. You
wait expectantly each time for
something different 10 happen. II
never does. The man turning the
handspring never altered the posi-
ton of his feet when they left the
ground or when they resumed it.
The fellows absolute lack of origin
ality was depressing. Even a wood
en- jumping jack gets up a new
movement now and then, knowing
full we'll that IL he didn't there
would soon be heavy slump in the
jumping jack market.
A Rift i'm the Clouds.
We had about decided to shclve
the protector and charge the money
we had invested in il up TO LIES lit
tie disappointments when we hap
pened to meet a moving picture
manufacturer on the train.
To him we told how the dew had
been dimmed on our moving pic
ture rose and the dust had been
swept from our film butterfly.
Don't can the protector" he said
cheerily, III send YOU some films
for it-some live ones"
This of course was great news.
We took II home and distributed II
around the family with gratifying
results.
Thousands Of questions about
what kind OF films these would be
/ were flung at our heads. We par
ried all of them with a smiling
Wait and see" for We didn't have

ONCARRANzA
tBy United press)

Mexico City, April 20.-Nine rebels
made up the casualty list IN a clash
today between Mexican federal forces
and Oregon rebels under the com
mand of Gen. Benjamin Hill. it was
announced officially by the Carranza
government. The engagement occur
red almost within the limits of Mex
leo City, and the official confirmation
was the first report reaching the
city.
It was also reported that General
Oregon started the rebel movement,
which today resulted in the with
drawal of the state Of Cacatecas from
support of the Carranza government.
The withdrawal of Zacatecas from
the Mexican government headed by
General Carranza may be evidence of
an internal disruption which may re
rult in CarranZa's overthrow. The
state of Sonora. against the borders
Of which CarranZa's troops are now
marching, was the first TO withdraw
Sonora is on the extreme northwest
while Zaecatecas is near the central
part, bordering on the important pro
vince Of San Luis Potosi. The dis
lance separating the two centers OF
revolt against Carranza is featured
in today's news dispatches as probable
evidence of the growth of the revolt
movement.
