FOX BEGAN HIS
CAREER WITH
TINY HOUSE

From the operation of the
smallest theater to the ownership
OF the most gigantic entertain
nnent enterprise in the world Is
the story contained in the cele-
bration Of the silver jubilee Of his
motion picture activities by Will
tam Fox. beginning October II.
The smallest theater was To-
hated at 700 Broadway. Brooklyn.

wards, the director. and 1t turned
9ut to be probably the first boz
office natural" in picture history.
Fox started another vogue when
he inspired the vampire" stories
by starring Theda Bara in "A
Fool There Was" 1t was one of
the sensations of the day.
He had the courage of his con.
v1ctions in risking large sums of
money upon his judgment of what
the public wanted, and he under
took the first million dollar" pic
ture in making THE Daughter of
the Gods" with Annette Keller
man. 1t cost 100000, and was
the first film to be introduced by
sensational exploitation methods
which had hitherto been confined
to the 'legit.'
He also had the courage to
fight the movie trust. The de-
cision to produce his own pictures
was partly influenced by the
monopolistic nature of the Motion
Picture Patents Company, which
at that time had secured virtual
monopoly of all phases Of the in
fant film industry.
Although this organization had
throttled 120 independents and had
strangle hold on the industry,
Fox fought the corporation single
handed in the courts, putting in
jeopardy the small fortune he had
already accumulated but deter.
mined to blaze his own way free
of dictation.
When he triumphed he not only
cleared the road for his own de-
Velopment but also placed the mo-
ton picture industry on the sound
basis which 1t has enjoyed to this
day.
Ten companies contributed their
pictures to the trust including
Biograph. Vitagraph, Edison and
Lubin. With his new organization
Fox not only survived their ex-
tinction and brought himself to
the van of the contemporary in
dustry, but he still holds the leader
ship. He experimental with sound
long before the others and was the
first one to announce that his pro.
ducing company would abandon
silent film and contine its activt-
ties to talking pictures alone.

 Digest to Watch Public Reactions
Marked Cop.es Received

Frequently. marked copies of newspapers are sent to the White House by citizens from many parts of the country who are interested in some particular project or problem and some times articles from these arc added to the columns of the Yellow Journal"
 For moro than ten years the task of preparing ''The Yellow Journal" has been entrusted to John McCabe. . veteran of the White House cleri- cal force. He finds it job that oc- cupies his entire time and the part time services of an assistant. Shears in hand he tackles each morning the huge stack of papers and goes through them column by column clipping the articles and editorial that in his opinion the president would wish to read.

@,YIIow Joarnal" of Clip pings ssat Execsdve Each Day-Reads Many
 Articles. !.

v.ehinxten., June { OA-President Haayer js keeping . viEilant watch upon the trend of public sentiment oi, tue great questions of govern mant as it is reflected in the press of all sections of the nation.
 Late each day. there Is placed before him his own specially prepar- d and private newspaper. dubbed .+1he Yellow Journal" by White House attaches, not for its contents but because it consists of clippings mounted upon sheets of yellow foolscap loosely bound together with tho red tape that adorns. literally. 50 many of Washington's pubic documents.
 SS Papers Condcascd
 Essentially, the president's paper Is compilation of news dispatches and editorial opinion gleaned from the columns of more than thtrty-five daily papers which are received each morning 1t the executive manaion. But even this is not sufficient 10 meet the desires of the chief execu- tive, and to 1t have been added the srvices of two specially slected clip ping bureaus.
 If his busy schedule permits, MT. Hoover makes | careful study of the clippinEs before leaving office. al- though he sometimes takes them to the White House proper and goes ovsr them there a little later. He prefers, however. to dispose of "the yellow journal" before leaving his desk. as there are usually dinner guests and 1t is not always possible to Ind time for reading in the eve aing.
 President Hoover Is most interest ed at present in the reaction of the press to two of the great domestic problems of the day, tariff revision and farm relief. Numerous journals from the agricultural northwest have been added to the list of papers usually received at the White House 10 that the president may have a thorough knowledge of the attitude Of the press of the section vitally interested in these topics.
 larger Dailies Received
 The papers from which "the Yell low Journal" is compiled are the dailies of the larger cities. The task of scombing the smaller papers has been given over to the clipping bureaus. These, incidentally, were ch6sen with some difficulty, as first inquiries revealed that only few establishments make a practice of dipping editorials.
 The presidents own newspaper was established during the Wilson administration. It was the idea of Joseph Tumulty. President Wilson's secretary. and was used in varying degrees by both President Harding and President Coolidge. At the out set of tho Hoover administration its scope was enlarged by increasing tho number of papers from which 1t was compiled and adding the serv- icee of the clipping bureaus.
