' At the time of writing nothing has been heard of the negatives and films stolen from this firm, a complete list of which we published in our last issue. We call upon the whole trade throughout the States to be on the alert, and become in a sense detectives, to help find the mis- creants and bring them to justice. Some one remarked that probably a film pirate had secured them for the pur- pose of re-titleing them and putting them on the market under a new name. We know there are men in the busi- ness who are dishonorable enough to copy films and slides, retailing them as their own productions. We do not think there is any one in the business who would take such a risk of selling positives from stolen goods. Kleine Opti- cal Company, of Chicago, have circularized all their cus- tomers, giving a list of the films stolen. A good plan for others to follow. E,*at WaeR'l Editorial. A correspondent asks us if we know the man fined and, if so, why we did not publish the correct name. We are perfectly acquainted with the man, but preferred not to use the correct name, as no good end would have been accomplished. We copied the report of the trial from a press clipping and we wished to emphasize the fact that the film ought not to have been issued, and whoever the man is, his fine ought to be paid by the maker. A. Clean NicRelodoon. We observe that Chicago reformers, headed by Miss Jane Addams, are going to show the proprietors of nickelodeons how to give a clean exhibition. The whole plan was outlined at a meeting of the City Club, the object being to purify and elevate the five-cent theater, which one of the speakers declared, "was an institution come to stay." "It is all right anft all it needs is to be regu- lated." The project received the blessings of the Bench and the Church. We will watch the progress of the ven- ture and wish it all success. But the pity of the whole matter is, that a great and growing industry like this needs such an example and so severe a public reprimand as the above action is, and hope the lesson will not be lost, although we think to make it effective the new ven- ture should keep the Sunday exhibitions out of its pro- gramme. Owing to the great demand on our space this week, several interesting film descriptions are held till next issue. - ■'-
