There can be no doubt that much
can be attained with a camera which
was impossible on the stage yet in
doing this much of the rapid fire
action of the original has been lost.
Under Two Flags was one of the

Portland, who is lecturing in different
parts of the State in the interests oil
the new Portland Pier, Mr.. Moore
came to the Rotarians, however, as Il
business man and to tell them how
the State pier can be paid FOR. lie
is most entertaining speaker and
after telling the gentlemen that the
communities were the results OF men
rather than the results of always the
most desirable location, he cited as an
example many Of the big cities de
scribing them and telling Of their ad-
vantageS. He spoke on development
to a certain extent and after taking
his listeners from Halifax 10 the Pa
cifc Coast and return, he dwelt OH
the advantages of Portland harbor,
stating that the new State pier would
be completed in about two weeks. al
though it had been in use for eight
ar nine months Mr. Moore said that
oven before its completion its operat
ing income had been in excess Of its
operating expense. He told Of the
saving of freight rates by shipping
and Of the advantage of having the
State pier for transatlantic vessels.
Mr.. Moore stated that townsmen owed
more than their taxes and that NeW
England money developed the coun-
try. His argument was that since
the State had built the pier the citis
2ens should not knock the project any
more than they should thrir own
hnSiness enterprises.
