dots and dashes. He lived at his
brothers house, dividing his time be-
tween art and his work on the tele-
graph, all the while struggling val
iantly against his old foe-poverty.
Finally, in 1895. when he was ap-
pointed professor of the literature OF
the arts of design in New York CITY
University, he moved to one of the
university buildings on Washington
Square and lost no time in setting
up portions of his telegraphic appar-
atus.
There lat the university I imme-
diately commenced, with my very
limited means, to experiment upon my
invention" writes Morse. "My first
instrument was made up or

fastened to a table; the wheels
of an old wooden clock moved
by a weight to carry the paper for
ward; three wooden drums, upon one
of which the paper was wound and
passed over the other two; a wooden
pendulum, suspended to the top piece
of the picture or stretching frame,
and vibrating across the paper as 1t
Il pencil at the lower end of the pendu-
lum in contact with the paper; an

where the committee Of arts and
science commended 1t highly. From
here he brought it to Washington to
demonstrate it before President Van
Buren, and his cabinet, as well as for
e!gn ministers and members of Con-
gress The demonstration was a sue
cess, but Congress failed to act. The
world was still too conservative to
grasp the significance of this new
wonder.
MORSE had hoped that the Govern
AVA ment would buy the telegraph
and use 1t as mode Of communication
between it's own officers. In suggest
ing governmental control Of q great
public utility, like the telegraph, 1t is
plainly to be seen that he was a bust
ness man as we'll as an inventor and
far ahead Of his cotemporaries on
matters of national policy. Morse
would have sold all his rights to the
telegraph to this Government for the
sum of 100000. Today it Is esti.
mated that it would cost the Govern
ment approximately $500,00o,o00. To
parallel the lines would cost at least
S25, 200, 900.
In the face of this encouragement,
Morse wrote to friend:

months of anxiety and labor I have
had in perfecting my telegraphic ap-
paratus. Nothing but the
consciousness that have an inven.

All that Morse had at that time,
writes one of his admirers, was the
strong belief that the transmission of
intelligence by electricity could be ac-
complished by suitable mechanical
contrivances-this, together with a.
scheme for an alphabet. He had the
faculty Of seeing the value of corner
lots when other men were lost In con-

IN the face Of poverty and discour-
agement Morse stuck to his art,
and in 1926 was rewarded by the Ma
tional Academy of Design in New
York CITY, which selected him as its
first president. In 1886 he was made
professor of arts Of design in the Uni
versity Of the City of New York. The
most important portraits he painted
are those of Lafayette. Henry Clay,
James Monroe and FitZ-Greene Hal

II was in 1882. when Morse was
returning home from abroad on the
good ship Sully, that the idea of an
electromagnetic telegraph came to
him. He had now reached the age of
40 and was apparently fixed in the
career he had selected, but in reality
he was just beginning the work which
was destined to make his name famil-
lar the world over throughout the
ages.

and summer season that has run

viii offer George M, Cohan's
daddy OF all mystery comedies,
Seven Keys to Baldpate." This
viii follow Dancing Mothers"
currently occupying the National
stage beginning Monday night.
Conan wrote this play from the
story by Earl Derr Biggers, one
time newspaper man who grad
uated into the fiction field. The
play is peopIed by unusual types,
all keenly and satirically drawn.
Some Of the foremost Of these are
an author; q sophisticated di-
vorcee, a lunatic who imagines
he is a great historic figure, q
sheriff and others OF more con-
Yentional mould.
Seven Keys" was one OF Co
hans most successful plays. Its
run in New York went into a
year and through road tours and
stock engagements its life was
extended to far beyond the dreams
Of its authors.
This. farewell production is dis
tinctly a play for public taste,
since the public here picked 1t
by balloting on forms supplied
by the management.

National special production which
will be shown as the major screen

enormous scale and interpreted
by one of the most noteworthy
casts that has appeared under the

months.
The chief male role Is entrusted
to Milton Stills who brings to his
Interpretation of the central char
acter in the story all OF the yir-
ility, all of the dramatic finesse,
and all OF the innpressiveness that
marked his sterling performances
in the title role of THE Sea
Hawk" In his support are r.

the camera whose names mean
much to those familiar with the
best performances the screen has
revealed. The added stage at
