Over a hundred thousand tickets have been dis- tributed. The Motion Picture Exhibitors of Cincinnati Local are not in favor of getting out a program, or calling upon the film ex- changes for assistance.

"In the Bishops Carriage," the famous story published oy the Bt*bs-Menill Co., upon which a very successful and popular play has been based, will be released Sept. 10 by the Famous Players Firm Co. The flhn '.erclon of this noted subject represents Mary Plckford In the absorbing role of Nance, who, with Fate an stage director, plays many strange parts until she eventu- ally adopts a role that leads to love and happiness. The play Is a fascinating drama of the underworld that approaches tragedy and ends in romance. The story as told In the pictures Intro- duces Nance Olden as an nitrate of the Ch8rlty House. Falsely accused of theft and cruelly punished, she de.'ldcs to rid her- self forever of liie matron's persecution. Pursued by the police, she takes refuge In the room of Tom Dorgan, the crook, where later he finds her. Both refugees from a doubtful Justice, their common lot inspires them to establish a partnership In crime. After a daring theft of Jewels the loss of which Is almost Immediately discovered, Nance, In terrified despair, eludes the police by jumping into "the bishop's carriage. From this In- cident a chain of thrilling adventures pro- gress, until Nance Is again rescued from the polic* bv the tlm.'ly Tnt^ri'cntion of Ober- mulier. "a theatrical manager, who Is Im- pressed with her mimic talents and who of- fers her a position on the stage and a chance to travel the straight road. Now occurs a bitter contest between Dorgan and Obcr- muller for the lovaltxpof Nance, which Is culminated by the arrest and conviction of Tom. Nance's admlrat'on for Obermuller ripens Into a requited love, and she attains fame and fortune as an actress. And then a shadow of the past crosses her path; Tom escapes and returns to claim her, but his purpose Is defeated by Obermuller. Only once more Is she tempted by the old fascination; only once more she steals—and then she really conquers her preying weak- ness, marries Obermuller, and drinks the sweets of a righteous existence. "In the Bishop's Carriage," Is a strong "vehicle" for Mary PIckford's charming art. I 'IV MY HAREM." The very latest distinguished potentate to become acquainted with the beauties of Klnc- macolor is Mulal Abdul Ariz, ex-Sultan of Morocco, who, accompanied by Kald Sir H. Maclean, K.C.M.O.. has Just spent an after- noon at Charles Urban's studios in Wardour Street. Naturally the Inte monarch of Islam was completely captlvnted by the magic of natural color klncrantography. He made al- most endless Inquiries concerning the various stages of the process, and eventually ordered, for his residence in Algiers, a full installa- tion of Klnemacolor. Including a large library of notable Alms, and a camera, which he feels quite competent to op erate. NEW HEIGHTS THEtTRE. The Ilrettholx-Kritmholz Construction Co. leased the Northwest corner of Amsterdam Avenue and One Hundred and Seventy-seventh Street New York. The site will be improved with a moving picture theatre and stores, to be ready on Nov. 15. The lease Is for twenj ty-onc years, with two renewals, at a total rental of «197,0O0.

Y-, has announced his Intention of entering the movlnl Picture world by building a moving picture theatre at 171 Main Street, In Hurt eltv He will be without opposition. The house is to seat about 600 and will be con- structed as a most modern theatre, \ .- c RELIANCE ACTORS TRY "HEY RUBE" STUNT. While producing the two part drama "Tho Clown's Daughter," Edgar Lewis and company of Reliance Players spent several days with Slg. Sautellc's Circus and all hands seem to bare enjoyed the experience Immensely. The circus performers were Just as lntrcsted In acting before the camera as the Reliance actors were In being members of the Big Show, And as Edgar Lewis Is an old hand at anything connected with tho canvas and saw-dust, some excellent re- sults were obtained during the making of tbe picture. Norma'Phillips tried her luck as a "Circus Rider," called for by her part, which was that of the Clown's wife. George Slog- man found out that he is a good "Spieler' and was given ample opportunity to prac- tice spell-binding on a sure-enough circus crowd. Little Runs Hodges was the pet of the "Show Folks" and had the time of her four-years-long life feeding tbe anlmaiB and riding the ponies. The feature, which Is said to be of more than ordinary merit because of tbe ex- ceptional strength of the plot, will be re- leased on Saturday, Sept. 13. ■ SH1PMAN AWARDED CANADIAN RIGHTS. Ernest Shlpman, the well known Canadian theatrical manager, has secured tho Canadian franchise from Warner's Features, Incoror- atcd, for three-reel Canadian releases upon Warners regular program.

Living repro- ductions of tbe characters made famous by Sir Gilbert Parker, and Drummond, the Can- adian poet with historic backgrounds In pic- turesque Quebec, and the Lower Provinces, will be regular features. The lumberjacks of tho backwoods will have their turn, and the world renowned Northwestern Mounted Police will figure conspicuously in a series of "Law and Outlaw" stories Tho Cana- dian voyageur, tho trapper, the half breed fulde, and tho Indian hunter, will all la urn play their part In these tremendous three-reel feature stories of the Great Domin- ion, i GOLDIN AN EXPERIENCED DIHECTOR. Sidney M. Goldln, director for the Univer- sal,-has Just completed a three-reel feature entitled "Jewish Freedom Under King Cast- mlr of Poland." This special feature is the sixth of a scries of Jewish pictures written and produced by Mr. Goldln within tbe past six months. During this time, however, he also put on several comedies. Mr. Goldln Is known to bo the first In- dependent director In the -motion picture field. His work In the old "Phoenix," in Chicago and at the "Essanay," singled him out as a "feature" director, crediting him with exceedingly speedy work, as well as detailed finish. On Sept. IS, tfie Universal will release a two-reel subject, entitled "Es- cape From Tho Asylum," written and pro- duced by Mr. Goldln. All of Mr. Goldin's features have been written by blmself and his Ingenious method of inventing special scenes while producing his pictures ranks him as one of the fore- most producers In the motion picture field. ———e- CAPT.

The shipment, by a queer bit of stupidity on the part of some dock employee, instead of being delivered to the customs ofllccrs, was packed aboard a coastwise steamer after have been unloaded from the Itallnn steam- ship. Michael Moran. of the Judson Freight For- warding Co., la charge of the shipment, Im- mediately tried to get In touch with the vessel and to havo the film transferred to a North bound vesel In some port m route. Unsuccessful in this ho was further "put out" by learning that the Mexican offlcftils on the arrival of tbe film, refused to allow them to bo returned.
