Jack Allocate, editor of the
Film Daily, has every reason to be
proud of this task as the book
this year is the most complete
issue ever produced.
In the introduction, Will Hayes
states that motion picture en-
tertainment enters 1884 artisti-
cally greater and socially more
significant than ever before. 1t is
in the van of reviving industrial
confidence. Recent milestones of
its forward march have been laid
in weary months of depression,
code discussion. and rehabilita-
ton"
Under the heading of Film
Facts" the year book places the
capital investment of the film
industry in this country at $1,700,-
100000, of which 100000, 900 is in
studio property.
The new attendance record in
this country last year was set by
Mae West in I'm No Angel" at
the New York Paramount when
the picture played to 10000
people in its first week.
The long-run and play date
record for short subject was won
by Three Little Pigs" I sus-
pected it. I've seen it seven diff
ferent times.
The Year Book states that
movie attendance in 1888 aver
aged about 100000 weekly. There
was total Of 1854 theaters in
operation on Jan. l of this year,
which is an increase of ga houses
on Jan. l, 1888"
The Year Book shows the re-
suit of Film Daily's annual poll of
the ten best pictures of the year
as voted by the movie critics.
Every picture released in 1888 is
listed, showing the distributor,
running time, cast, director, au-
thor. and the like. The work of
every player since 1882 is given, as
is the title of every movie re-
leased in this country as We'll as
the imported films.
Every film exchange is listed
with address and officers. The
movie code is given in full. Every
trade and fan publication is listed
Another important item is the
listing, with capacity, of every
movie theater that was open in
this country on Jan. l of this
year.
The buying guide lists every
thing that is needed in a movie
theater.
1t is the most useful and COM
prehensive yearly film book that
ever have seen. 1t is master
piece.

In loose offhand way I thought I detected a
parallel between the trained seals and those utility
people who intimate terms with such states
men as Chateaugay's Mr. Thayer. Whenever the
trainer wanted of his seals to roll he simply
tossed him fish, and instantly he got desirable
action.
AS an ardent music lover I do wish however, that
the trainers would not encourage their seals to blow
noises through brass horns. do not object so much
to the noises being dsagreeabe but to the serious
possibility that in time seal music may become some
thing more than circus exhibit

Certain documents upon which
the court based its decision, it
finally came out, had been con-
cealed from the prisoner and his
defense. Dreyfus had been con-
victed i'll violation of justice.
On that score, Clemenceau went
to bat. Pro-DreyfuS sentiment
grew. zola took up the cause, and
in trial for SANDER Tin which
lola was convicted) the whole
card-house fell-revealing almost
unbelievable skullduggery, malice,
completing on religious and social
grounds, an army speckled with
corruption. A Colonel Henry con-
fessed having forged one of the
chief documents used against
Dreyfus. Again terrific French
scandal was lit with the lightning
flash of suicide-Colonel Henry's.
Another officer, Esterhazy, openly
accused Of the original treachery,
took flight from France. And an
other government fell.
But the public persisted. Vio-
lent antagonism to its form could
not break it completely down.
With the turn of the century new
troubles rolled up, eliminating in
the World war and in the peace.
The question which has trou-
bled it for sixty years rises again:
Can the republic take it?

hats, who were trying to preserve
democratic institutions.
The republic had been having
its troubles. Ministries we're ex-
tremely unstable. A disastrous
war in distant Tonkin had cost
huge sums and many lives. The
two Bourbon pretenders and the
Napoleonic one we're lowering on
the outskirts of power. And
there was desperate financial
crisis in which the small shop
keepers, the peasants, the whole
middle class suffered.
George Ernest Jean Marie Bou-
LANCER suddenly appeared as
great political force in 1886. A
mediocre war record failed to di-
minish his prestige, and he had
the backing of such great folk as
the Duchesse Dues, who supplied
millions for his campaigns. His
first big job was war minister,
but this came to an end when the
ministry collapsed.
The fact that Boulanger was
then suddenly transferred from
Paris to military post far to the
south was signal for huge pub
lie demonstration. AS he drove to
the Gar de Lyon, thousands of cit
liens gathered to cheer him. I'VE
want Boulanger!" they yelled.
He was returned to parliament in
triumph.
But it didn't last long. Accept
ing Clemenceau's dare to run for
parliament in Paris itself, the gen.
eral did and succeeded. But he
couldn't bring himself to trust his
own luck and on April Fools
day, 1889, hoped the border into
Belgium. The Third Republic had
licked its biggest enemy to date.
BANANA was the next. Again
l. the regime wavered, this time
in the blast of a financial scandal
which ate up the savings of the
thrifty nation and involved be-
tween 40 and $50 politicians in
accusations of corruption.
Ferdinand de Lesseps, builder
of the Suez Canal, was the inno-
cent scapegoat of the affair.
Armed with his respondent repu-
tation, a company was formed to
dig big ditch across the Isthmus
Of Panama. And into this ditch
the savings of France poured. The
company, after amazing misman-
agement, having spent fabulous
sums in illicit commissions, brib-
cry and other frauds, failed in
1891 for 1,250000,000 francs.
AS in the recent Stavisky case,
the affair threw up a parliament
tary inquiry, paused for an instant
with a suicide, and continued with
governmental collapse. Akin to
the agitation of the royalist "Ac-
tlon Franchise" in the Stavisky af-
fair was the ferocious series of
demonstrations by the League of

In other words Roosevelt will
have a real battle making his
program stick. His idea is to let
the country go little slow, pre-
vent too much prosperity, head off
subsequent depressions. Against
him on this is pitted one of the
strongest lobbies in the country
the business lobby.
It's cry of Rugged Individual
ism" is deeply rooted in our
pioneer background, in our prairies
and our passing frontier. In prac-
tice it is gone. Only the myth
remains.
But that myth, plus the barrage
of Big Business, plus the skittish-
ness Of headstrong congress may
upset the Roosevelt dream of
planned economy. If so, we may
really find out what a dictatorship
is like.

Congress is used to being the
center of the Washington merry
go-round. And for one year its
members scarcely have been a
side-show. They have been
flouted on appointments. They
have been forced to pass bills with
machine-gun rapidity. They have
been forced to cool their heels
in the outer offices of brain
trusters. They almost had to get
down on Bonded knee even to see
Louey Howe, the Presidents Sec
rotary.
So they got a swell laugh when
they kicked the traces. And hav-
ing found out that they could
kick the traces, the temptation
will be to do it again. This is the
chief significance of the veterans
vote.
The real issue is not going to
be congress versus the President,
but planned economy versus rugged
individualism.

But the Third Republic also saw
tragedy, treachery. 1t withstood
violent attacks on its sovereignty.
1t withstood reeking financial
skullduggery of which the Sta
visky scandal was the most recent
unhappy example. And as Sta
visky took his own life, so have
the suicides of others in high
places left the pages of French
history blotted with blood since
the last years of the nineteenth
century.
TENERAL BOULANGER, most
~ historians are now agreed,
was big fat-head on a big black
horse.
Boulanger was the man who, on
the evening of Jan. q, 1889, would
have been able to put France

handsomely decorated pistol hols-

up his mind to throw on his hat,

parently his for the asking. The
handsome, blonde whiskered cav
alryman had just been elected
deputy in Paris itself, after hav-
ing had numerous previous cleo
toral successes in the provinces.
A coup detat would have GER
tainly succeeded if Boulanger had
had the internal fortitude to make
the coup. But he preferred to
bask in the company of his Mar
guerite while his followers nerv-
ously drank champagne in an
anteroom; and the hour passed.
At midnight young man in the
company, who had been passion

to snap out of it and walk down
the street. glanced at his watch,
thrust it back in his pocket, and
murmured, Too late! The star
is fading!"
1t was. The strspping fat
head was never power again.
Presently he had to flee from
Paris. And not long afterward,
an exile in the Channel islands,
he shot himself to death.

Roosevelt, and the stark raked
dictatorship popular in Europe.
One is the fact that Roosevelt
has tried to take into considera-
ton both sides of the deal. He
has tried to give a break to both
capital and labor. He has done
something-though until recently
not much-about protecting the
consumer. He has maintained
fairly reasonable balance between
pros ad cons. In general, he
has followed his favorite policy of
hitting a little left of center"
The second is the fact that
Roosevelt's powers are subject to
review and abridgement by con-
gress. His is not a perpetual die
tatorship. The power to regulate
industry, agriculture and so on
ceases unless definitely extended
by congress. They are pure emer-
gency powers.

TINE popular theory is that the circus goes on year
after year soutly holding its clientele because on
the one hand it delights the juveniles and on the
other it enables the graybeards to feel frisky again.
There can be little doubt that it is a gay adventure
for the young but whether it an emotional
shot in the arm to the oldsters is something else On
the contrary, the effect might easily be quite the
opposite.
