Tub following humorous bit of poetry was submitted to the Essanay publicity depart- ment the past week by Clyde Martin, the well known picture pianist It Is readily seen that Martin Is an adept at other things beside piano playing, and Essanay appre- ciates the fact that he Is a booster of the Indian head product at all times: "I'M, THE GUY." (Apologies to 0. M. Anderson.) When toe "movies" are packed with youngsters, From the front row to the dome, And they're watchtn' some husky villain Steal the ranch girl front her home, And he hides her In an old hut.

Then away out In the mountains, Where some miners had hard luck, And would have lost all courage Were It not tor bis daughter a pluck; And some handsome cowboy comes along, As If he dropped down from the sky, And kills flftv or atxtv claim Jumpers— Stop your kidding, 'Tm the guy." When a notice has been posted ■ That the bandit Is at large, And the sheriff asks for deputies To come over from Red Lodge, Who is it steals out all alone. Where beasts of the forest cry, And brings Dick Deadeye back to town ? Just ask me, "I'm the guy." When the bIiow shop Is full of ladles. Admiring a hero brave, • Who several times the week before Went nobly to bis grave; When they murmur, "Isn't he handsome!" And watch and wait and sigh. And wonder if the original Is real— Excuse me, 'Tm the guy." i s ■ NEW MO VINO PICTURE SHOWS IN PANAMA. Consul General Alban 0. Snyder reports that during the lest week In August two new moving picture shows were opened In Panama City—the Teatro Varledadcs, origi- nally built for a variety theatre, and the Amador Theatre.

I i Georqi B, GsArr, a representative of • Philadelphia moving picture concern, and Sidney Rcddlngton, chief steward on ths American liner New York, who pleaded guilty to smuggling moving picture Alms Into tho country from England, were, Sept. 28, sen- tenced to terms of three months each In ths penitentiary on Blackwell's Island by Judge Hough, in the Criminal Branch of the United Butts District Court.
