At meeting held at the Chamber
of Commerce Wednesday night it was
decided not to have a County fair this
fall but rather to cooperate with the

was reached on account Of the lack
of Preparations that have been made
and the short time yet before the fair
dates to make arrangements. The

GET GERMAN FILM
Big Distributor Declares Ameri-
can Field Being Invaded.
Says Foreign Productions Are
Cheaper and Acted Better.

New York, April 23.-"Within a
year. German made films will be
showing in nearly every American
movie theater," declared Ben Blu
menthal, big movie picture distribu-
tor, interviewed on his return from
Berlin today
while Krupp was making cannon"
magnates were building four thousand
theaters for Fritz home from the
trenches. Unable to import pictures,
they made their own. Hugo SHINES,
a Millionaire in marks, now has hand
in the industry.
American fans are tired of the
same faces" declared Blumenthal.
German picture producers are ready
to supply any sort of visages-but

crammed with facial diversity, and of

her in your home town as Anne Bolyn

Miss Pola Negri and Fraulein Len
keffy will also glide on the screens.
1.-THE reasons why German produc-

Blumentha1, "are first, because of ex-

much cheaper than we can here. Sec

TO BOOST FILMS
American Federation of WOm-
ems Clubs Starts Drive.
National Head Wants All Local
FederatiOns to Join.

On the principle that more IS to be
gained thru praise than knocks,
Mrs. Woodallen Chapman, motion pic
lures chairman of the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs, is organizing
a campaign for close cooperation be-
tween the more than 100000 fed
Grated club women and the picture ex-
hibitors of the country.
Her plan is for the club in every
locality to appoint woman chairman
who will make friends with the local
theater manager and encourage him
to use only high class films. The
chairman also would induce the club
women of the town to attend the
theater regularly and when good pic
lures are shown shower the manager
with postcards of commentator.
Thus. Mrs. Chapman believes, ex-
hibitors will be convinced that the
screening of objectionab1 films does
not pay, and the tone of pictures will
be kept at a high level, whether there
are censorship laws or not. Says Mrs.
Chapman, who is a well known au-
thor and lecturer:
"I also am urging the club women
to systematic activity in encouraging
the use of pictures in non-theatrical
fields I agree whole-heartedly with
the views expressed recently by Arthur
S. Kane respecting the opportunities
for good in this direction"

(By Jones.)

Said to be one of the most remark
able picture productions of the cur
rent season, 1.-The inside of the Cup"
a Paramount-Co smopolitan picturiza-
ton of Winston Churchilrs famous
novel, will be shown at the Isis thea
ter next week.
When this book was published in
1913, it's exposure of hypocrisy among
wealthy churchgoers, provoked bitter
criticism by the clergy of England and
this country. The hero of the story,
as in the picture, is the rector of
fashionable church, who becomes dis
gusted with certain elements of his
flock and severely arraigns them for
their shame and hypocrisies.
Director Albert Capellani. however,
has paid more attention to the dra-
matte features of the story than to the
philosophy which makes the book all
most unforgettab The scenes are
thrilling and the heart appeal culm1-
mating in the fruition of love ro-
manceti is irresistible. The cast, head
ed by William P. Carleton and Edith
Hallor, is unusually large and artistic.

At the Grand.
(Rv Eliza. heth.l

Melodrama-clean,f fine, wholesome,
thrilling, fascinating melodrama, and
romance-the swinging, sweeping ro-
nance of a maiden in distress, abound
in 1.-The Killer" one of Stewart Ed
ward Whites most popular and potent
stories.
Mr.. White met such a character as
was not until comparatively recently
that he put him into his greatest
novel which ran serially in the Red
Book magazine.
1.-THE Killer" was such by nature.
Just as Lucretia Borgia was a poisoner
by instinct and training and environ
neIlt so was Henry Hooper killer.
He was a smooth, oily, cultured Great
ure who planned death while he en-
tertained with a beautiful piano solo
of a Chopin nocturne, or discussed
Henrik Ibsen. His motivating thought
in life was killing anything that irri-
tated him, from the birds that sang
inn his garden and the frogs that
croaked in his fountain. to men,
women and children who stood in his
way.
In the photoplay dramatization of
1.-THE Killer, which will be offered all
next week, particularly well bal
anced cast will be seen. Frank Cam
peau, one of the smoothest heavies
known to the stage. plays the title
role and is fascinating, yet terrible,
in his horrib1eness. Claire Adams, in
the only feminine role, seems to have
a knack of arousing sympathy and
admiration Little frankie Lee, who
will be remembered as the remarkable
child actress in THE Miracle Man,
has part in 1.-The Killer" even more
striking than in the picture in which
she was previously seen.

with a young woman who has come to
a country town and, struggling to
earn her own livelihood, is suspected
of being a thief and prosecuted by the
sheriff. She is befriended by the viii
lage doctor, a slow speaking, big
hearted young fellow of Man From
Home" type, and eventually comes
into happiness by the real thief being
caught and by the doctor asking her
to be his wife.
Dunlay & Merrill have a splendid
line of talk and songs and are said to
have the personality necessary to
make an act of this nature go over and
go over big. Howard & Atkins, with
their rapid-fire chatter and talkfest,
promise to give audiences a chance to
rest up from laughing by offering
several strong song numbers.

Diana Allen in the Charles Maigne
production, 1.-The Kentuckians."

Director Charles Maigne, who pro-
duced this epic story of the south, was
not content with picking his company
true to the types called for by the
story, but when it came to filming the
mountain scenes, he took the entire
company to Stone Gap in the Cumber-
land mountains where, with Horace
Fox, brother of the author, everything
possible to reproduce the atmosphere
of the novel was carried out to the
most minute detail.
In 'The Kentuckians" Monte Blue
plays in the role of the mountaineer
who goes to the state legislature as
the emancipation of his people and at
once clashes with the ideas of the blue
grass faction. Mr.. Blues leading
woman in this picture is Diana Allen.
Others in the cast are Frank Joyner,
Wf1fred Lytell and John Miltern.

New York, April 23.-The board of
