We were the flrat io make a specialty of FILM REWnNG, and the little imitators will have to buy, beg or borrow about a million feet of good film before they can touch our eervice. Our eervlee is as good 08 money and brains can make it; and we know of no better commendation than to quote what a prominent manager of a big circuit of vaudeville houfles recently He said: "rve tried them all. I started with you and left you ; now Tm back for good. Your service at your terms is cheaper than the other fellow's for nothing." Don't forget Mr. Keith calls the MOVING PICTURES THE GKEATE8T TURN IN VAUDEVILLE, and he ought to know. It's getting better every day. Tell UB what your requirements are and well show you what we can do to help make a banner season for you. IO lA-TM OIXV. nSILES BROS PILMg, HACHINRH AKD HLIDRN .MADK TO ORDER, BOUGHT, SOLD OR RKKTRD.

In defoult of actual scores, we can only report the style nnd result of the games since the flrsl. The 2d was a (J's Gumblt. cvnded by Marshall. Says The Sun: "Tha game proceeded on really slnsslcal lines to the 28th move, with Marshall under time pressure. He, however, was making a re- clined hy the Parisian. Marshall played the most brilliant chess ever shown In Paris. After a few opening moves Janowskl sn(i- denly as-sumed the attack, and, to make mat- ters more efTectlve, aacrldced a P. Then the game grew highly Interesting. In the even- ing session Marshall, by really wonderful play, first repelled tbe aggressive movements, and, after getting on even terms, assumed the attack, compelling Janowskl's resigna- tion after G" moves.

K'a Kt's Gamlilt Evaded, The central figure of European chess Just now Is the Vienna tourney at this gambit, to be evaded In every game by 2. .K B to B 4. Ten chess Kts, good and true, are doing vigorous battle for or against the validity of this evasion. They are: Herreo Alblu, Dr. Perils, Ix>ewy, Marco, .Uaroczy, Mueller, Neu- mann, Schleehter, Vidmar aud Wolf. Up to our latest report, ouo half the tourney had been flntsbed, and a few games In advance, ns Mnroczy's leave of absence was pressing him. The score at this stage of the battle was: Maroczy and Schleeh- ter both 8 to 1; Dr. Perils, 5i4-.1; Neu- mann, aTb-3\i ; Wolf, 4-r.; the rest less. Herr Vidmar has witbdrawn from tbe con- test. Janowskl Is reported to bnve said that tbe evasion 2..B to B 4 was Ihe death knell of the Kt's (jamblt. Per contra. It Is said of the leaders In this luurney that It does not make any difference to them whetber they play the Attack or Defence. 80 we guess this standard old gambit will survive this organized attack upon It.
