The Movie Star" Business Has Been
Overdone; It's Day Has Passed.
By J. STUART BLAcKToN, Pioneer Producer.

While the services of famous actors and actresses, of both the So
called legitimate stage and the silent drama, will always be in demand
the time has passed when photoplays will be generally written, produced
and directed simply to exploit the special charms and accomplishments
Of some particular person. That sort Of thing has been much overdone
by producers in the past, and as a consequence the productions have suf-
hnd. The great motion picturegoing public has come to resent this
policy on the part of the producers, and it is the taste O. this public that
producers must please.
The films of the future will be made from scenarios, either specially
written for the pictures or adapted from stories and novels of the worlds
greatest writer's. The productions will not necessarily be extravagant, but
must be faithful to real life, and the direction of the pictures will not per-
nit the star to carry off all the honors.
/ do not feel that it is yet time to write, or even begin to write, any
thing like a history of the motion picture business. l believe that the
phdodrama of the present and of the future will play an al-important
part in shaping the destinies of the world.

MISTAKE IN THE LOCATION
Despite Walters Assertion, Traveller
Was Convinced They Were in

The late William Dean Howells was
very fond of travelling in Spain. He
once said on his return from Anda-
tusia:
1.-THE Spaniards, especially the
southern S%paniards,- have enormous
families. Eight children is the aver
age, and families of 16 and II chill
dren are quiet common.
"But they don't know how to raise
these children. They take babies of
three or four months travelling with
them. In every hotel and train there
are sure to be as many babies as
adults.
II was ushered one evening by a
Malaga waiter into the lofty marble
and bronze restaurant of a sumptuous
hotel. The restaurant was crowded
with babies.

said the waiter co~mplacently.

II follows the same plan used in determining salaries of postmasters of the
first, second and third classes. 1t secures the same results as a salary
rn while avoiding its discrepancies. 1t assures accuracy, reduces to the
minimum the possibility Of mistakes and assures their detection and cor
rdion should any occur. 1t requires no extra blank forms, books r rec
ods and reduces to the minimum extra work for both the Postotme de-
utment and the postmasers. 1t removes entirely the possibility of dis
honesty. as receipts are recorded and checked quarterly bv the auditor
for the Potoffce department. It is equally fair to all Offices Of this
dsslarge and sman-regardless of the amount of receipts. 1t obviates
the necessity of cancellation records, reducing the work of the postmaster
and simplifying the accounting in the auditors office.
It recognizes the fundamental principle upon which the fourth class
office is established, namely, that fourth class postmasters must depend
mon their business for a part of their livelihood until their Offices attain
the status of third class. The provision for an allowance of twenty per
cpmm Of the compensation for rent, fuel and light is very conservative.
The provision that gives to the fourth class postmaster, who must furnish
the equipment, the whole of the box rents collected is based on fairness.
This bill affects 1900 fourth class postmasters, of whom 5000 are
in class having from 800 to $500 Of annual receipts; 5000 having $3.50
to $500 annual receipts, and 10000 with receipts ranging from $3.50 to
s49O. Their compensations in all these three groupings will range from
sminimum of S125 to 1899, thus bringing their salaries within the CLASH
deion necessary for promotion to third class postoAices.

Rev. Chilson arranged with Mayse
to take Mr.. Chilson for ride. The
trip was made this morning and the
aviator gave his distinguished passen-
ger good long ride.
Rev. Gibson has spent the past 81
years in Africa in Missionary work
and has pushed far into the interior.
In this section he has been able to find
diversion in the hunt for big game
and quite naturally has had some
thrilling moments, but according to
his statement the flight through the
clouds, the first he had ever taken,
eclipsed them all.
Mayse is known as one of the most
careful and capable pilots in the game
in this part of the country and Rev.
Hunt felt no fear for his guest.
Rev. Chilson invited Mr.. Mayse to
visit him in his African home and
promised him that he would probably
be able to reciprocate on the thrilling
adventure among the big game of
Africa.
