THE LAST WORD IN PICTURE EXHIBITING 95 THE PERMANENT STAGE SETTING, SHOWING THE WINDOW OF THE WOBLD As Alan Dale said, it is not possible on the stage to produce such realism as that wreck scene, and, for that matter, no stage could have shown one-twentieth of these several hundred scenes in one evening. It is quite clear that the screen has numerous advantages over the stage, and now that a Motion Picture company has a theater of its own, we may expect to see other film companies follow suit, and to see still greater wonders than we have seen at this first performance. All things considered, the Vitagraph Theater is, perhaps, the most charm- ing of its kind in the world, and it is indeed the last word in Motion Pic- ture exhibition. A Wondrous Picture Show By CHARLES H. MEIERS here's a gladness most divine In tliis oft-tried heart of mine. And I'll tell yon. if yon really care to know. That it's just because, last night, I discovered, with delight, A remarkable and wondrous picture show. It was not the pictures shown— That is. not just them alone— That invoked new happiness into my heart. For the pictures on the screen Were not quite the best I've seen. But the cause for joy was chiefly at the start. There was not a string of "ads" About bargain sales and fads Forced upon me while I waited for the show; And I do not hesitate To quite positively state That my heart was permanently cured of woe.
