THE MOVING PICTURE NEWS 37 THE NATIONAL FEATURE FILM SERVICE Mr. L. Germain, who has long been connected with various branches of the motion picture industry, has placed all of his motion-picture feature interests with the National Feature Film Service, Inc. Such productions as Sarah Bernhardt in "Camille," Madame Rejane in "Madame Sans Gene," Helen Gardner in "Cleopatra," have been the class that he has offered to motion-picture exhibitors. The latest feature that he has secured for the States of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Ohio and Indiana is Ambrosio's masterpiece, "The Betrothed," from the romance by Alexander Manzoni, in six reels. It has taken the Ambrosio Company nine months of effort, regardless of expense involved, to complete this work. Headquarters have been established at 532-554 Fifth avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. ('phone "lie J South), with branches at Philadelphia, Pa., New Jersey, Dayton, Ohio, and Cleveland, Ohio. TRADE NOTES Mr. Charles Dickson, well remembered as star of the comedy classic, "Incog," and several other Broadway successes, is not only producing picture dramas for the Reliance Company, but will be seen in the leading role of a picture dramatization of his popular sketch, "The Buffer," which will be released on October 6th. Charles Dickson is as well known as an author as he is an actor, having written the musical successes, "The Three Twins" and "Bright Eyes," hi addition to his more serious works, which include a large number of oneact sketches in vaudeville. The debut of Lillie Langtry in motion pictures will be occasioned by her appearance in "His Neighbor's Wife," a drama to be released by the Famous Players' Film Company, October 10th. Mrs. Langtry was pleased to have an opportunity to be enrolled in the gallery of Famous Players. In the role of a faithful wife who attempts to sacrifice her life for her false husband she has a part that will command sympathy. She depicts the brave suffering, the nobility and the loyalty of the wife without exaggeration. Mrs. Langtry is supported by Capt. Leslie T. Peacocke, Sidney Mason, Irma La Pere, and the child actress, Mimi Yvonne. Frank E. Wolfe, author and producer of the Socialist picture "From Dusk to Dawn," has made arrangements to sail for London and the Continent early in October, for the purpose of placing his picture upon the market in those countries.

He was engaged in directing a tworeel picture entitled "Miss Tomboy" at the time of the accident.
