Non-Theatrical Pictures.

FOLLOWING close on the announce
ment that National Non-Theatri-
cal Motion Pictures, Inc. has acquir-
ed the entire Burton Holmes film
library for theatrical distribu-
ton comes the announcement that it
has acquired the Swedish Biograph
library of scenics, educationals and
comedies.
"These Swedish films" says Harry
Levey, "are particularly adapted for
schools, churches and clubs, showing
as they do many of the less visited
parts of Europe such as Iceland,
Greenland, Denmark, Finland. Nor
way and Sweden. They give intimate
glimpses of the everyday life of the
people, and show some of their
peculiar customs and primitive as
well as modern industries.
I'VE see how spoons are made
from bone; the cultivation and manu-
facture of fax. from stalk to linen
tablecloths; seal fishing> polar bear
hunting; the Laplanders and their
reindeers anu other equally unusual
and interesting sights 1t is from
such pictures as these that one learns
how the other half of the world
lives"

Films in Swedish Schools.

EDUCATIONAL films have been in
- troduced into the schools OF
Sweden, where visual education, it is
said, has made as great progress as
in the United States.
For years programs for school
children have been given at special
performances at the Swedish motion
pictures, the classes attending the
performance in company with their
teachers who later quizz them on the
films shown.
There is very strong feeling
here in Europe that all educational
possibilities Of the motion picture
should be utilized in all kinds of
schools writes Mrs. Dagmar NJ.
Waldner of Stockholm, Sweden, who
is a recognized European authority
on educational cinematography and
it's resources.
THE United States and Sweden
have many interests in common. anu
l am persuaded you will find much
sympathy if you will contribute to
the intensive work toward perfection
of these educational methods" she
writes in a personal letter to Harry
Levey president of National Nom

RIALT0-Betty Blythe in "Queen
of Sheha -

"Queen of Sheba," the William Fox
production that created sensation
in New York, will be shown this
week at Moore's Rialto Theater
starting today.
This is described as "a marvel of
beauty, color and dramatic force, a
spectacle unsurpassed in magnifi-
cence." The production was year
in the making after Virginia Tracy
had written the story. The story has
been worked out on an elaborate
scale and presents scene after scene
of beauty and magnificence-the mar
riage festival at the court of King
Armud. the great ampitheater, the
arrival of David. son of Solomon,
from his mothers court; the battle
between. the forces of Solomon and
Adonijah, and the pathetic final de-
parture of the Queen of Sheba for
her own realm.
BETTY Blythe will be, seen as the
queen: Fritz Lieber, the noted
Shakespearean actor, as Solomon;
Nell Craig. as Princess vashti; George
Seligmann, as King Armund, and
Claire de Lorez, as Queen Amarath,
wife of Solomon.
An impressive orchestral score has
been provided. Showings today will
be given at 3. 5, and pm, and
during the week at 1915 am, 1890,
2:15, $3.50, $50, 1870 and $50 pm.

National. THE Idol Dancer" as
means of agreeably utilizing leisure
summer. There was for some time
doubt in his mind as to whether the
art of Thespis or the profession Of
building monumental works should
be chosen as his life work. The
point, however, is that the Barthel-
mess intelligence was such as to
prompt thoughtful and a deliberate
decision, which. under the urge of
Mr. Griffith, was, for the time being
at least in favor of the photodrama.
Thereupon Richard Barthelmess
achieved immediate fame by excep-
tional artistry as the oily Chinaman
in Broken Blossoms" his genius for
characterization in Way Down East
and his hold upon public esteem as
Youth in Experience"
1t is only after this comprehensive
experience and training that Mr..
Barthelmess finally assumes the re-
sponsibilities of full-fledged stardom
In ."Tol'able DAVID he is said to dis
close a resourcefulness and facility

youthful spontaneity that stamp him
with the mark of real actor.
