MOTOGRAPHY
Vol. IX, No. 3
"Pierre of the North," February 10. Copyright 1913, Selig Polyscope Co.
dying derelect not to let his blind mother know. This serves as the crux of a pathetic play which moves from the stale and sin noxious atmosphere of the groggery to the quiet of the country town and the sanctity of a forgotten home, and has a pretty romance to attone for its rugged and repellant moments. "Don't Let Mother Know," is bound to have a vogue of its own.
When it comes to making michief the quiet men of the plains who only make a noise and use their ferocious hardware, when the fusil oil is flowing in their viens, understand the value of a practical joke that nails through and clinches on the other side "Bill's Birthday Present." is a memory of this class and indicates how dangerous it is to buy your best girl's slippers, and then leave the package lying carelessly about before delivery. The western ranch girl is full of spirit and when she gets a pair of worn out, down at the heel cowboy boots instead of a pair of trig satin slippers she is apt to resent it in a way that makes the donor feel as if the spur sunk more than skin-deep in his system.
"Her Only Son," is a drama of real life that has its joy and sorrow every time the boy leaves the family roof tree to seek his fortunes in the great world that lies far from the peace and protection of the friends that are tried and true. The story of a good hearted country boy in a great city always has a throb of interest and this one has a grip on the heart that is appealing.
In the line of educational films the great bronze statue of Buddah, the largest in the world, has peculiar value. It represents Japanese artistry upon a most heroic
scale and looks as wonderful today as it did at its unveiling seven hundred years ago.
"A Little Hero," is a western feature story that should win the admiration of the Boy Scouts, as it incorporates all those elements of thought fulness and fearlessness in the face of great emergency that the organization of little men essays to emulate.
Romaine Fielding "Shows 'Em"
Romaine Fielding, who manages, writes his own plays, directs them and acts in them for a Lubin western company, is one of the most fearless horsemen in photoplays, as well as one of the most expert. He is also some handler of steers. A short time ago he visited George Carter's ranch, 25 miles south of Prescott, Arizona. The men were cropping and branding steers. Mr. Carter requested that Mr. Fielding come in and help him rope and throw some of the long-horned steers. Mr. Fielding accepted the taunt and requested that Mr. Carter dismount, which he did; took his horse and with a cowman roped an extra fierce steer. There was too much slack on the ropes and the steer got Fielding's horse in the corner of the corral. There was no getting out of the situation, apparently. Fielding raised himself to a standing position in the saddle and leaped off on the neck of the steer, grabbing its horns and throwing it as it came for the horse. Whenever Mr. Carter comes to Prescott he speaks of Mr. Fielding's courage and quickthinking box, as well as his daring and knowledge of horses and steers.
