has gone SO far of the end In its

conditions the products Of the film

Interior should be so much in demand
Public interest has attained such pro-
portions, indeed, that there has grown

Of making films. The moving film, in

vision, lis an educational medium

The Federal Government is an in
exhaustible source for motion pictures
on educational subjects with wide
human appeal. The departments sew
eral bureaus and divisions provides a
blessed variety of interesting subjects
the magnificence of the national parks
and the establishment and develop
ment of State and county parks; the
Indian reservations and their colorful
inhabitants; the Bureau of Reclama-
ton, with its Boulder Dam and Grand
Coulee; the protection of petroleum
and the restoration of the cattle
ranges; the General Land Office and
the Geological, Survey and their ac-
tivlties; mining and big industry in
the Bureau of Mines; the Territories
and island possessions, and the Ma

colleges through the Office Of Educa-
ton. In such films there can be

little plot excitement. and subject mat
ter and camera treatment are vital to
any degree Of interest success.
These Tanning Hearon and his able
associates are equipped to provide.
From the moment a department head
suggests picture he would like to
have made Of his organizations activi-
ties, the motion picture division goes
into huddle In matters Of script,
story, titles and treatment, emerging
eventually with such professional films
as draw applause in regular theaters
and are requested again and again by
schools, colleges or private institutions.
THE division operates, its director
points out, upon three beliefs: %
That 1t is the privilege of the people
to be thoroughly and impartially in
formed of the Governments business
and the responsibility of the Govern
ment to provide the information; CD
That pictures are made to be seen;
and 90 That entertainment has
place in the educational film.
When we say that pictures are
made to be seen, We express our own
determination to meet the requests OF
all reputable exhibitors and to keep
our pictures out of the can and on
the screen" declares Hearon; "and
when we mention entertainment IN
the educational films. we do not mean
to imply that We are competing with
stars. sets and plots Rather. we at
tempt to inject interest into the edu-

all parts OF the country, and about
500 Of these are filled. From presidents
OF universities to proprietors or ice
cream parlors, from individuals in all
walks OF life 90 the letters come.
About 80 sound reels were made last
year, at a cost of 81 TOO a reel, and
the Interior Department has on hand
about IS copies OF each picture. Hav-
ing to utilize their allotments for films
in production, the division cannot
purchase enough film to make enough
prints to meet the steadily increasing
public demand. From the stream of
requests which this print lacks forces
us TO refuse" Mr.. Hearon states. I'VE
assume that distribution would in
crease in direct proportion to the
number Of prints, up TO a satura ton
point which We cannot set This
print scarcity presents a regrettable
situation-especially in the face of our
Greco. Pictures are made to be seem
but there isn't great deal that car be
done about it until the Government
film attains budgetary prominence to

tional medium of great human i'm
portance."
How do those citizens fortunate
enough to secure the 500 avail
able films a week go about securing
them? The process is uninvolved and
direct, the rules are simple. In the
first place, there are no rental charges
for any Government film. Borrowers

accomplished in the matter OF produc-
ton and distribution in this exciting
new Government project. And a brief
review Of the purely "fact-finding''
service rendered by the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce to
the movie industry in America will
give another side of this interesting
set-up.
N THE first place, the Interior De-
partment's Division of Motion Pic
lures is but two years old. It Is a
distributing and producing unit. a
part OF the Government, yet servicing
the Government on a strictly financial
, basis. BY this We mean that any
Government division making use of
the motion picture division is charged
with the amount expended in produc-
ton or distribution of the pictures
ordered. Operating on the very linn
tied budget of $4,000 a year, the
motion picture division produces re-
quested films and makes as many as
500 film shipments a week, exclusive
OF shipments among theaters, all free
to the American public.
Schools, colleges, universities and
State departments for public enlight-
enment are talking about visual edu-
cation" states Hearon, "and doing
something about it: major produc-
tons have recognized 16-mm.; C. C. C.
camps are establishing an extensive
non-theatrical circuit; European docu-
mentary film makers are visiting those
interested in this in America; univer-

as folksey q pair as you'd ever meet
anywhere. Only one Christmas did
they have in the White House.
Whether it had Presidents or didn't
have Presidents, st. Johns was filled
each Sunday with cabinet officers, Su-
preme Court justices, heroes OF Army
and Navy and the fine old families
of Washington. Church history was
made there, too. On Christmas Day,
1857, Bishop Phillips Brooks took his
first communion there. 1t was he
who wrote that beloved Of Christmas
hymns, 20 Little Town Of Bethle-
hem"
IN 1883 the old church made elabo-
rate plans to re-visualize history In
its windows. Madison, Monroe and
Van Buren, were memoralized in one
window: Harrison, Tyler and Taylor
in another. But the church made no
great display Of it, and these windows
are not among those to be Illuminated
during the Christmas season. Only
Ellen Herndon Arthur will represent
the presidential families.
More typical of Washington among
the nine windows to be lighted is the
window Of harp-playing angels dedi-
Gated to one of st. Johns founders,
Peter Hagner, and his wife, Frances
Randall. Appointed third auditor OF

Typical of the Washington that
comes and goes, and comes again, are
the windows dedicated to such ad-
venturous souls as Surgeon General
Charles Henry Crane, Indian fighter
and Civil War medical ofiicer; and to
Rear Admiral Joseph Smith, who was
wounded in the battle of Lake Cham

little more than a month ago to the

The old road which once linked the
White House with st. Johns Is forever
gone-but in its place this Christmas
Eve there will be pathway marked
by lights Of special meaning-the great
lantern that lights the portico Of the
Presidents House, the gorgeous gilt

and the serene and shining windows

that same square. But Ellen Arthur
never knew the thrill. and triumph
Of living in the White House. She
died Of pneumonia In January of the
year which brought her husband the
vice presidential nomination. Hers
must have been shining spirit, for
Arthur counted the vice presidential
honor empty without her. There
Is nothing worth having now," he
said, and each day he lived in the
White House he placed a bouquet
before her photograph. And when
st. Johns Church was enlarged in
1888. Offering opportunity for in

honored his Ellen with q window
which always looks toward the White
House.

~ Johns, "the church across
the square from the White
House." where seven Chief Executives
have claimed the presidential pew,
now inaugurates a new Christmas
custom-the lighting of its historic
windows as welcome to the annual
presidential lighting Of the Nations
Christmas tree in adjacent Lafayette
Square.
"a visible invitation to the people,
as they 60 to and fro, TO drop into
the church for q period of quiet
meditation" the Rev. Oliver s. Hart,
rector OF st. Johns. termed the
illumination of its stained glass me-
mortal windows.
But it is even more than that This
Yuletide st. Johns Church, with its
Sixteenth street doors open and it,
H street windows aglow, will stand
as living link betwe IN Christmas
1897, and all the Christmases of this
Nation back to 1916, when st. Johns
was dedicated two days after Christ

tocratic wife and their two proud
daughters, Eliza and Maria. Not for
them the wholesale social calling that
was done by Dolly Madison. Social
war ragged, and oficialdom boycotted
the Monroe drawing rooms. But Sum-
day worshipers could see the gorgeous
gowns worn. by the elegant trio who
introduced frilled pantalettes to this
country.
To them preached the Rev. William
Hawley, for % years rector, who wore
small clothes, long stockings and
buckles to the day he was buried in
st. Johns. Neatly arched over, his
tomb now lies within the walls of one
remodeling. He wore as he preached
black gloves. one finger freed by a
slit for turning pages. He was pre-
siding genius Of stor-equipped,
wine-glass pulpit, which-so church
historian noted-"was said to have q
will of its own so as to move itself,
and in this way to object to anything
which the parson might say that it
did not approve Of" For one visiting
bishop, it glided in disapproval until
it bumped itself and him against the
wall, the congregation gasping!
Near the close of the Monroe term,
two White House visitors, the revered
Lafayette and Jackson, hero Of New
Orleans, came the same year to give
place-names to that locale-Lafayette
Park and jackson place.
WHILE Jackson was not q member
w Of st. Johns when he later re-
turned to the While House, he ap-
parently paid rent on the presidential
pew, his correspondence noting $13
paid for the purpose for the quarter
ending December 81, 1888. His hand
picked successor, the wealthy Van
Buren,, however, belonged to the St.
Johns traditional circle through his
daughter-in-law,S Sarah Angelica SIN
gleton, kinswoman OF Dolly Madison.
The widowed Dolly had then returned
to Washington, to live for 13 years IN
the home she inherited from her sis
ter, now the Cosmos Club. Her worthy
works, especially with orphans, were
known throughout the parish.
On a log cabin campaign, but from
q $40, 900 Indiana mansion, came Will
liam Henry Harrison to the White
| House In 1841. 1t is significant that
he chose the church of his proud Vir-
einia forbears, the brief month there.
And so did his successor, John Tyler,
who gave the congregation subject
for much conversation when he ap-
peared with young and beautiful
bride, julia Gardiner Tyler. But that
doughty old warrior, Zachary Taylor,
