But Dobbin's neigh was a familiar one and the doqr was suddenly opened to belch forth a seething,horde of.children, totaling in- round numbers an even baker's two dozen.- * " 'My children,' said the proud widower. " 'Stung,' moaned the bride-elect, and she promptly fainted. "Such has been the work the past two days of Gas Thomas and twenty soubrettes, ingenues, character actresses and chorus girls of New York, under the direction of Wallace McCutcheon and within the focus of a mutoscope. In other words, a moving picture that Asbury Parkers wili doubtless see a little later, entitled 'Wanted, a Wife,' has been enacted in this vicinity. Mr. McCutcheon represents the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company and was struck with the place for such work from his stay here last Summer, having spent the season with his wife and family in one of the Ross-Fenton bungalows. "To say the work is strenuous is putting it mild. The em- bankment at Spring Hill park is easily 15 feet and is almost perpendicular. At the Robinson farm the leap from the roof is an easy 12 feet. The last part of the picture, the chase, was taken first, the pursuit of the woman on horseback, her capture of the widower and their ride home, being taken from an auto- mobile. The pictures were acted cleverly and the character make-ups were fine. The widower was taken in front of the Press office yesterday morning, just returned from the funeral of his sixth wife, to insert his advertisement for another. "Mr. Thomas, who portrayed the widower, has been seen in Asbury Park this past Summer in the role of the governor in 'The Governors Son.' Miss Sue Willis, the portly looking woman, is one of the cleverest character and dialect minstrels qn the stasre. She appeared last Winter in 'The Vanderbilt Cup.' Miss Marie McCutcheon, Mr. McCutcheon's daughter, repre- sents the athletic type of woman." Machine Stolen. Hamilton, O., November II, 1907. Editor Moving Picture World, New York City: . . ...

Editors Moving Picture World: Dear Sirs :—Being a constant reader of your valuable period- ical, and having found it a most helpful manual on countless occasions, I now desire to ask you still further if you can help me locate some reliable firm that makes a specialty of fitting up five and ten-cent moving picture theaters. By that I mean fitting up and altering the premises generally occupied by these shows, as to seating, operators, booths, etc. Or if, perchance, you have on file the name of any one who would care to sell one of these place, we would deem it a great favor to let us know- Respectfully yours, Twentieth Century Motion Picture Company, Per W. E. Graner. NicKelodion in Trolley Station. Nashville, Tenn., October 28, 1907. Editors Moving Picture World : Dear Sirs: —Nashville is to have another moving picture theater. This will be located in the Street Car Transfer Station of the Nashville Railway Company, and will prove to be one of the most.novel places of its kind in this way: You go to the station to change cars, and while waiting for your car you go in and see the show. Nashville will have the distinction of being the only city in the-South with a moving picture show in such a place. This new theater will be under the management of Fried 4 Haas. It seems now that'the ten-cent show is about to outdo the five-cent show. Nashville has two ten-cent theaters now, located at 2:7-215 Fifth avenue, North. They play to crowded houses at every performance, and on Saturday afternoons and nights they have to close the doors and turn aWay hundreds. At these places they have n:ovinj pictures, illustrated songs, and some good song and dance acti A performance lasts about an hour. • Wm. L. Weaver, 318 Trentlan street. Nashville, Tenn. P. S.—There is a fine opening here for another ten-cent the* ter, and a good business is sure to follow its opening. I would like to take charge of one and run it either on a straight salary or commission. If you know of anyone win would like to start up a ten-cent show, have them write me.- W. L. W.
