Motography (Jan-Jun 1913)

222 MOTOGRAPHY Vol. IX, No. 7 signing documents which involve thousands and hundreds of thousands, is a study. It shows Mr. Post, the man, a living exemplification of his "There's a Reason" slogan. After having seen C. W. Post one is prepared for the art gallery; for here is reflected his good taste; here are gathered masterpieces of priceless value — graceful statues, impressive tapestries, wonderful specimens from the artist's brush and other things which delight the eye and acclaim the connossieur. It is here that Mr. Post and the members of his cabinet find environment conducive to the thoughtful consideration of their big plans. And now we are to see how the famous Grape-nuts food is made. We are told that Grape-nuts is produced from the best wheat and barley and then we see just how it is done. First the milling of these nutritious grains. Then in logical sequence we see the white clad operatives and the spotless machinery mixing dough for Grapenuts, forming Grape-nut loaves, baking the loaves, slicing the loaves, final baking of Grape-nuts before grinding, and right on through the whole carefully directed process even to the making, filling and sealing of the moistureproof boxes which we see packed, shipped and on their way to the ultimate consumer. At this point appears a tenances of these youngsters is to feel at once that anything capable of conjuring such an expression of utter enjoyment is something that appeals to you. And as the picture closes and the screen is light you. instinctively wish for breakfast time and a box of the goodies the babies made such a fuss about. Sealing Packing Cases. series of pictures showing how the housewife prepares Grape-nuts at the table, and the scene is then transferred to the "manufacture of instant Postum." Instant Postum is a beverage made from wheat and the juice of sugarcane. We see how the wheat is cleaned and roasted for Postum, then comes percolating regular Postum for instant Postum, evaporating boiled Postum for instant Postum, then instant Postum as it comes from the evaporator to be powdered, the cans being filled with the finished product; then the studio scene featuring the use of instant Postum in the home. "The making of Post Toasties" from delicately browned flakes of Indian corn, sweetened with sugar, is very interesting. This series of scenes shows cooking the corn by steam, rolling cooked corn into flakes for post toasties, Post Toasties toasting in the oven, then the packing room where sacks are put in the boxes, the boxes filled, weighed and sealed in a manner that insures perfect cleanliness, packed in large cartons, consigned to the warehouse from where they are sent down a gravity chute to waiting freight cars. This picture closes with a scene where three happy, rosy-cheeked babies of graduated ages are having the time of their life eating Post Toasties. To see the smiles of satisfaction on the coun Biograph Identities Revealed Motion-picture fans the country over will be surprised, and yet surely delighted, to know that at last the Biograph Company is ready to make known the identity of its players. For years this concern has jealously guarded the names of its employees and it has been almost impossible for the exhibitor to answer the numerous queries that have deluged him from his curious patrons, who wanted to know who played this or that role in the Biograph film they had just seen, but now publicity is to be given the players. A handsomely printed, tastefully designed poster, 16x23 inches in size, containing the names and photographs of twenty-six of the players has been prepared by the Biograph company and will, it is understood, be sent to anyone remitting ten cents in stamps or coin to cover the cost of wrapping and mailing. The following players' faces appear on the poster: Gus Pixley, Lionel Barrymore, Charles Hill Mailes, Charles H. West, Edward Dillon, Walter Miller, W. Chrystie Miller, Henry Walthall, Mary Pickford, Kate Toncray, Blanche Sweet, Grace Lewis, Florence Lee, Kate Bruce, Claire McDowell, Dorothy Gish, Mae Marsh, Lillian Gish, Harry Carey, Robert Harron, Charles Gorman, Alfred Paget, Walter Chrystie Cabanne, G. Jiquel Lande, G. Dell Henderson, and W. J. Butler. Mace Developing a "White Hope" Fred Mace, of the Keystone Film Company, is as busy as the proverbial "bird dog" these days. Together with his motion-picture activities Fred has taken under his wing "Big Ed Kennedy," a promising candidate for heavyweight pugilistic honors, and has arranged matches right along for his protege. Kennedy has appeared in several of the current Keystone releases, making an ideal "copper," and his handling of malefactors is very realistic. Mace, himself, would make no mean opponent in the ring, as he tips the beam at 200 pounds and has considerable skill with the gloves. He is an enthusiastic fight fan and maages to see all the big bouts staged on the Coast. Lubin Editor Has Birthday Hugh D'Arcy, famous as the author of that stirring poem, "The Face On the Floor," had a birthday last week, and to show that he was still a young fellow, invited a number of his friends to a little celebration. It took place on the roof garden of the Continental hotel and was a joyous occasion. Hugh made every one of the guests tell their right age and then absolutely refused to tell his own age. However, everyone agreed that the host did not look or act as old as he really was, no matter what that age might be. Speeches of the two-minute kind filled the little gaps between the rounds of "drinks and eats," while a vaudeville show was an added attraction. The affair was attended by many prominent theatrical and literary people and was one of the most enjoyable events of the season.
