bered him from these two phases of -lis career and because of some seem ingly unproductive years since the war, though the Urban brand had passed out of existence along with many others. Nothing could be fur ther from the fact.
 Most of those silent years were experimental. The experiments have clusion and MT. Urban's time is free again.
 There are now available and are being distributed in theatres and also J1 theatrical centerS all over the United States and other countries, the Urban Popular Classics. These are all one-reel pictures which meet the double test contained in MT Urban's slogan Of cid:
 .'' 'To entertain and amuse is good To do both and instruct is better.
 They are released in two main groups: The kineto Review and the Charles Urban's Movie Chats. They certainly are available to theatres in Bridgeport through our distributors and if they are not playing there the Ioss-this is said in all modesty-is the pubic's.
 ''Thcse Kineto Reviews and Movie Chats are all of permanent value and as fast as they are edited and releas- ed they are indeXed to occupy a per manent place in the motion picture encyclopedia being assembled by MT. Urban. This encyclopedia will be known as The Living Book of Knowl- edge
 What He Will Do
 ''So much for the existing phase of MT Urban's activities.
 '"The future phase-and not much in the future any mor@involves nat ural color and a new development in the use of film.
 The natural color process has beeen greatly improved over the old Rinemacolor. It will be known as kinekrorn and will be ready early in, 1922. It is Natural Color Motion Pic ture Photography perfected.
 1.-The other development is the Spir- disc record instead of the convention al roll-fllm. It is a revolutionary irn- provement for it makes the use of motion pictures in schools a practi- caiity instead of the visionary thing it has been all these years. This is true because of three reasons: It is absolutely safe from fire; it is so simply operated that a schoo1-ch1ld can work it; and it is low-priced.
 '"The Kinekrom and the Spirograph are largely manufacturing proposi- dons. A large plant at Irvington-on- Hudson N. Y. is now being made ready for them and by June the pro- duction will start. By January 1, next, the market The corporation in con- tro1 of these two phases of his work is the Urban Motion Pictures Indus tries, Inc, which is the parent cor poration and controls the Kineto Company of America. Inc, which lat ter publishes the Urban Popular Gas sics."
