PICTURE-PLAY WEEKLY
Vol. II
CONTENTS FOR OCTOBER 9, 1915
No. 1
1 S
HELENE OF THE NORTH. . Arthur Gavin, Jr. .
An unusual story of the Northwest Mounted Police, with a plot that is crowded with action and things unexpected. Ralph Connel, of the Mounted, was in love with the daughter of the man he was pursuing— but, unlike most other stories of this type, that did not interfere with his duty. What it did do is what makes this unusual.
THE IVORY SNUFF BOX. . Kenneth Rand ....
A detective story of the variety you have no doubt been searching for long. There is nothing of the fantastically impossible in this tale of crime deduction, but a real plot with good, sound characters — and a good end. All the detective's energy was spent on recovering a snuff box. It seems absurd, but the snuff box meant everything to many people, as the story will tell.
THE EVOLUTION OF MOTION PICTURES— IX. .
Robert Grau

17
The conclusion of an interesting and instructive series of articles dealing with the progress of pictures. This article, the last, is not of what has happened in the past, but of what the author thinks will happen in the future — and why he thinks it.

In which a real man is the hero. And, also, in which a real man has a battle, both literally and figuratively, with the other type of person, who considered him worthless because he was not a capitalist. "Just a plain constructing engineer" they called him, but for John Stoddard that was enough. And for another person, too, it proved sufficient.
