TO START POCKET
 TESTAMENT LEAGUE
Plan Is Explained at Session ol
 EYeryman'S Bible Glass

Plans were made at the session of Everyman's Bible class held yesterday morning to start Forward Step" movement in this city and to organize q Pocket Testament league"
 Leroy Smith of New York city ad- dressed the gathering in an effort to start the Pocket Testament league" In his talk, MT. Smith related inci- dents as to the good the league had done individuals in many cities and towns throughout the country
 The plan Of the league is to have every man carry a testament about in his pocket and to read from 1t each day. The motto of the league is ITO carry and read wherever you go.'
 Forward Steps.
 Rev. John l.. Davis spoke on the Forward Step" movement and ex- plained it to the members of the class. Later he had cards passed to each one present and asked that the members write something on the card which they intend to do and which would be q step forward in this world. It was meant for the men to write q will stop gambling" T will stop swear ing" etc. The cards were later col lected and Rev. MT. Davis stated that no one outside of himself would see the cards.
 In speaking of the forward step movement, Rev. Mir. Davis said that a man who makes decision to obey the law is making forward step. He all so said that he did not see why a man could not break any other amendment 70 the constitution IS well as the Sth amendment, He said that this is be- ing done every day, but by people we would not expect to see doing it.
 Applied Religion.
 For his topic on applied religion, Mir Davis took the last chapter of James in the Bible. The chapter was based on conversion, and from it MT. Davis said that anyone can convert man, a man can be converted and that one who converts a man is doing a great work.
 There were guests present from Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Canada, Hartford, Bridgeport and New Lon- don, as well as from other nearby towns in Connecticut. The attend ance was 5S2.

 "One name is as good as another, don't you think?"
 Good Call that settled. Then as to finances. My study of American ,studio conditions has satisfied me that production costs this side are normally excessive. The average cost Of a well-made picture today is between eighty and hundred and twenty thousa nd.-too much by half"
 MT Culp's secretary told me Alma Daley's picture cost between q hundred and a:.y md tyo hundred thousand each" z "lf so, Ben Culp is throwing money away through ignorance or bad management or indifference.
 But say picture costs us Aft, thousand: its gross earnings, the first year, should be two hundred and fifty thousand. We ought to turn out not less than four pictures a year. which will mean at least four hun dred and fifty thousand clear profit to be split between the star. the execu- tive, and the capitalists"
 Tt sounds like fairy tale"
 Tt is fairy tale-come true in real life. Nothing else could account for the present day tribe of motion picture millionaires. They have imagination enough to see cheap amusement for the masses in what most intelligent people, a dozen years ago, considered merely a me chanical curiosity. So they invested their small savings these petty tradesmen and transforming actors,
New Britain herald., 1922-05-22

in the venture that high finance
 scorned, and the boom found them
 securely in the saddle. That's why
 the public gets so much perfunctory and stupid stuff thrown at it today
 But our pictures aren't going to
 be in that class-are they?" l Rather not. We're going to go at this thing in an intelligent way. We'll pick a good staff, select our stories ] witI' care, get the best men to write our scenarios, and gather round us group of actors, like those who have made the Continental cinema what it is today, more interested in their work | than in themselves, willing to take 1 their chances of scoring in fine en- sembe acting instead of insistent that every picture shall be distorted to throw so-called star into promin- ence. Even in America such sincere ,, artists exist, and we'll find and bring them together and prove that cinema production can be an art as we'll as Ia money-grubbling scheme"
 Bravo! bravo." Fanny interpoat- ed "Hark to the dear man! Now if olliy uS II pcflOIIl OHe-udll dS DIdNt- ly as he promises-!
 Lontane flushed little but paid no other heed. ITO get back to the question of capitalization Ar bitrarly setting fifty thousand as a fair production cost, we'll want at least a hundred and fifty thousand to begin with"
 But surely we won't need hundred thousand margin for safe ty?"
 Not for safety-for economy. When we finish our fiEst picture it will be a matter of six months at least before it can be exhibited. Meantime, we can't afford either to disband our company or hold it to- gether in idleness. We ought to start our second picture the day after we finish the first. Thus we will waste no gestures. And allow ing three months to each, we should have our second and third ready by the time the first is released. Do you follow me, Mrs. Druce?"

 Gan we avoid that?"
 Simply enough, If you care to take the risk. I'll confess I'm not financially in a position to invest in the business myself. But if you should decide to back yourself, usc your own money to finance Lucinda Lee. Inc, you would ultimately re- ceive two-thirds of the profits in- stead of the one you'd be entitled to as the star. And no outsider would have anything to say about the way we conduct our own business"
 T don't think I care about that" Lucinda observed thoughtfully. But it does appeal to me, the idea that If use my own money nobody But myself can suffer If we're making a mistake, if we don't make a success" !"
 "Then-you will find the capital yourself, Mrs. Druce."
 Il think l can manage 1t without much trouble"
 Lontaine sighed quietly and re- faxed. The contented glow of last night crept back into his eyes. He produced his cigarette-case and began to smoke in luxurious pufs.
 T may call on you for a check in day or two, for preliminary ex- penses."
 That brings up a question" Lu- cinda confessed. You see my checks will besigned Lucinda Druce, and don't like to risk my incognita as Linda Lee"

16,O00,0Q0 Animals Played Big
 Part in Battles

St. Louis. Mo-, May 22.-The World war could not have been won with out the aid of our animal allies," Prof. E. T. Baynes of the American Museum of Natural History. declared in an address here on animal hero- ism.
 Prof Baynes said 1e,ooo,ooo horses took part in the war, notwithstand- ing the wide use of motor lorries, oxen were used by soldiers in the Alps and German East Africa, donkeys worked in Palestine and France, and that in the Orient camels were pressed into service, with dogs doing their bit for all countries especially in Belgium. where they hauled ma chine guns.
 Played Big Part.
 Never in the history of mankind" he continued, have animals played so great part in the protection of civilization. Even the work of the mascots, keeping up morale and cheerfulness with large number of troops in the field, was important"

CARPENTERS MAY
ENTER FEDERATION

CINCINNATI, Ohio June Shy
the Associated Press. - Decision
whether harmony shall be restored
to the building trades department of
the American Federation of Labor by
the reaffiliation Of the carpenters
union hinged today on conferences
Of federation officials with leaders of
the carpenters union.
First definite assurance from the
carpenters that they will. return to
the department was given today by
Patrick H. Mccarthy, of San Fran
cisco, one Of the carpenters repre-
sentatives at the conference. He
said a program was being considered,
which he predicted would result in
all building trades mechanics being
enrolled in the confines of the de-
partment.
To accomplish this, he said, it
would be necessary for action to be
taken at the annual meeting Of the
department.
1t was not expected that final set
tlement involving the carpenters re-
turn would be ready for presentation
until tomorrow. Only brief session
was planned for tOdav
