THE FIELD OF THE MOVIE
Big Thrills and Spcc,acics Are the

Big Thrills ana SpcC,aCics Are the
Province OF the Photoplay.
There are all tastes to consider in
offering movie plays, and we feel
sure that the managers have studied
their patronage thoroughly enough
10 know which will draw the most
spectators; but speaking only for
himself the writer prefers not the
drama, which the "talkies" can do
better than the 'movies'-the soci-
ETY. play, the study OF rural life, the
light comedy, but the kind of play
which the living stage cannot do at
all, the one which is fun OF as
founding, even improbable adyen-
lures.
The hero who leaps from the ton
OF a water tank in Arizona upon a
moving train OF freight cars, the es-
Gaping prisoner who calmly drops
from the seventeenth story window
and runs off unjarred and unbroken,
the villain who Is bitten by the CO.
bra; and even the gnome that, when
pursued, eNplodes in a cloud OF pink
smoke; these are the thrillers that
no legitimate flesh and blood drama
can give us.
For the portrayal OF the miracu-
lous, the stupendous, the world OF
the supernatural The movies have a
field that naught else can invade

\ TRAVELLING MANS ADVICE.

\ TRAVELLING MANS ADVICE
worthy Of especial attention and thought ia
the contribution Of a Tulsa travelling man which
appears in today,a Barometer Of public opinion,
II is true that no class Of citizcus ia more nc-
curatoly Informed concerning the general rcpu-
tatlon OF their own than that class which con
stantiy travel adjacent territory for the purpose
Of vending wares. And II is equally true, We
believe, that Tulsa suffers moro because OF It's
reputation for being a high priced town, and
more unjusty than from any other cause
OF course that kind OF reputation cuts both
ways. There are people 80 thoroughly sophis-
ticatod that they seek high priced town, on
tho wcll-known theory that dead town Is
never high h-prlccd town and such are at
tracted To Tulsa. But IT Is reputation that,
40 far as adiacon, towns concerned, does
more harm than It does good.
The proposal Of our correspondent that an
organized effort be not afoot to remove the inn
prossion is sound both as to subject and detail.
1t Ia not only sound but IT Is feasible. And his
further suggestion that Tulsa merchants set
apart day OF the week for offering special in
ducca,en,s to the citizens OF adjacent territory
carries In II seeds that are easily capable of
being sproutcd into widely enlarged trade
territory.
And that is the direct and Instant opportun-
io, that is demanding recognition nc this mo-

forget her face, her manner, the clear,
womanly look Of her eye-she was no
murderess, and it was not in my heart
to denounce her as such. Besides, If
I took this responsibility it would
only serve to shield other crimes Of
more importance than the violent
death Of this Chilean revolutionary
the murder perhaps Of many innocent
victims, and the destruction of much
valuable property. For Alva's death
would hardly stop the plotting already
on foot. The money was still here in
New York ready to be used; the propa-
gandists at Washington would never
permit it to- long lie idle. They would
find somewhere another leader, and /
alone seemed to be in q position to
balk their hellish purpose. Perhaps
it was even by their orders that Alva
had thus been put out Of the way.
He had acted. too slowly, and sus-
picion might have been aroused as to
his real purpose. On every side I was
assailed with doubts.
Yet, even II / held SILENT / knew

what had become Of Harris? 1t was
already approaching six o'clock, and
the man had not telephoned me. Sure
ly he must be aware by this time Of
the murder Of Alva; the uselessness
Of seeking longer to find him alive.
Was he also endeavoring to avoid me?
was his purpose deceit? or had some
suspicion arisen In his mind as to my
really being Harry DAILY?

able to remain quiet longer, I slipped

truth. I approached the same bar
tender with whom I had spoken in the
morning and he must have recalled
me at once, for, without answering
my question. he turned and called out
to heavily set, red-faced fellow at
the lower end Of the bar.

"He amt been back; that's the rea-
son. Come along with me; want a

followed him rather doubtfully, al
though his words and actions ap-
peared friendly enough in gruf way.
He led the way to a closed door at the
end of the bar, which, when opened,
disclosed a small business Office, con-
