THE practice or foreign merchants
and manufacturers of using the
names and pictures Of American mo-
tion-picture stars for advertising pur-
poses. without the consent of the stars,
is expected to receive a severe jolt as
the result of test case which has just
been decided in favor Of Douglas Fair
banks in the high court Of Justice in the
district of Zurich, Switzerland.
Max Word, a Swiss cigarette maker.
has been ordered by the court to cease
the manufacture of cigarettes and Gig
arctic boxes bearing the name and pic
ture of Fairbanks, to withdraw the
product already manufactured from the
market and to pay damages tc Fair
banks for the Illegal use Of his name
and picture.
1t is expected the example of the
Swiss court will be followed by the
courts of other foreign countries and
in this manner supply a means whereby
American :notion-p picture and theatrical
stars may correct the abuse, which is
said to have reached large proportions.

First Motion Picture Machine

THE first motion picture machine

Its invention has been variously
credited to a DR.. Paris and u DR.. Fin

Sir John Hershell. the famous

What Maurice TOu1neur Thinks

THAT the present generation will
never really see the really great
motion pictures and that the difference
in film entertainment hundred years

tween the present aeroplane and the
ox-cart mode of transportation of the
past. is the contention of Maurice
Tourneur. prominent director at the

Tourneur have been clearing away

are preparing the SOIL With the next
generation will come the cultivation Of
the really fine things on the screen.
THE most distinctive evolution in
motion pictures will be in the language
Of pictures. or their method of telling
a story. The picture Of the future will
suggest rather than depict. An indica-
ton Of this Is had already.
Pictures ultimately will jump with
the abruptness Of present-day cartoons

The Rock ett-Lincoln Film Company,
producing The Dramatic Life Of

this old idea and have utilized il in
an ingenious manner in the exploita- :
tion OF their picture. On one side Of
the Thaumatrope disc Is a picture of
the young Abraham Lincoln as a rail
splitter. a sapling between his feet
and his axe swung high preparatory
to hitting mighty blow. On the
other side the same figure is bending
over the sapling, having struck the
blow, the axe being stuck tight in the
wood. BY twirling the disc the young
Lincoln appears to split rails just as
he did 1t in the Sangamon river bot
