Craigmont and Craig momuntain of

GREAT LINCOLN FILM GIVEN

The Rocket Lincoln Film company
Of Hollywood makes the announce
ment that copy of their picture,
Abraham Lincoln" has been offer
ed the United States Government for
deposit in the Smithsonian Institution
or elsewhere in Washington, d. c.,
with the proviso that it be kept seal
ed until February II, 2l09, the three
hundredth anniversary of Lincoln u
birth.
The film, together with modern
projecting machine, with full instruc-
tons how to operate it, will be seal
ed in steel vault, specially construct
ed to preserve the film and machine
in perfect working order, and with
these will be deposited a copy of the
working script Of the picture and
few copies of the best books on mo-
ton picture production and practice.
The idea back of this is that in the
1876 years to elapse between 1924 and
2lO9 tremendous changes will take
place in motion picture production
and exhibition, and the donors of the
Lincoln picture will take every pre-
caution to insure the proper exhibition
OF their picture in 210o.
This greatest picture will be shown
at the Temple Theatre in Nezperce
