"THE IMPLET" CJje "Smplet" The Moving Picture Newspaper Edited by THOMAS BEDDING COPYRIGHT 1912 BY IMP FILMS CO. Published at 102 W. 101«t St., New York SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, 91-00 PER YEAR SINGLE COPY. 5 CENTS The announcement that the Imp Films Company is to follow up the highly successful two-reel picture, "Lady Audley's Secret," with another two-reel photoplay of a similar nature, will not cause surprise. "Lady Audley's Secret" is one of the most successful and best-acted pictures seen in an American moving; pictuie theatre. Jane Fearnley, King Baggot, William E. Shay, to say nothing of W. R. Daly, scored the successes of their moving picture careers, so far, in "Lady Audley's Secret." The successor of "Lady Audley's Secret" chosen by the company is, "It Is Never Too Late to Mend," which is slated for release in the near future. "It Is Never Too Late to Mend" is a magnificent Anglo-Australian novel, written by the late Charles Reade, one of the most renowned and powerful English novelists of the last century. It deals with life and adventure in Australia and in England, and is as full of intense thrills as "Lady Audley's Secret." Further particulars of this release will be given from time to time. Early in July The Imp Films Company will release a feature picture in which the rivalry of two college rowing crews will be prominently depicted. For the making of this picture the Imp Films Company has been fortunate in securing the exclusive services of J. S. Rice, the famous Columbia coach. Mr. Rice has placed his technical and sporting knowledge at the disposition of the Imp Company, and has undertaken not to work in a similar picture for other picture manufacturers. This film will be the first to take the theme of an intercollegiate rowing contest as part of the story, so that the Imp Films Company may be regarded as pioneers in this particular bit of work. "The Implet" is glad to acknowledge the Program Herald of the Lyric and Unique theatres in St. Johns, N. B. We are glad to perceive in the last issue some very interesting announcements with regard to Independent progress in the moving picture field. CASTS OF THE IMP PLAYS. "NOTHING SHALL BE HIDDEN."
