FILM S REVIE WED. •'Whr Jim Reformed" (Sells). Released Oct. 1. Jim's drinking habit leads up to an ex.- otrlence that teaches him a good lesson. He and his wife live In the West and, «9 It Is necessary, to' eat there as well as any other place, Jim starts on his usual journey, lo town for supplies.- On .his way back he stops In the town saloon and consumes many drinks, and we see his horse go along home snd leave Jim to. foot It back. The picture •witches to the'scene of a herder, whose dogs tad been attacked by -wolves. He sets a trap (or the wolves by attaching live bait to the trigger of a gun and places It In the brush. A friend of Jim's sees the-bait from a dis- tance, shoots and kills it, and, when he nicks it up, the'gun Is discharged and he la killed. Jim starts homeward on toot, lies down on the way and falls asleep. Upon awakening Jim tlnds the dead man and believes he eom- nlrted tbe.act. He hurries home and, after confessing to his ,wlfe, starts to give himself ip to the sheriff. But In the mean time the kerder has made the horrible discovery, sum- moned the sheriff, and, when Jim and bis wife come upon the scene, explanations clear up everything, while - Jim vows to lead a sober existence thereafter. A dramatic story of the West that Is fresh and admirably produced, found high favor. William Duncan makes Jim a very acceptable ■nd forgivable character, and works out the coral of the story nicely. .Myrtle Steadman has little to do as the wife, but her per- sonality In these Western pieces add ma- terially to the-plcture'B strength. All of the other characters are well portrayed by good people. Tod. "The Amateur Ice Han" (Lubin). Released Oct. 2. Betty Baxter, daughter of wealthy par- ents, takes to kitchen work In order to con- vince her father that she can be of some use. Baxter's friend, Westcott, has a son, Roy, whose sowing of wild oats finally displeases (he old man, and he orders the boy to go to work driving one of his father's Ice wagons. Roy accepts and, upon making a delivery at the Ilaxter home, meets and falls In love with Betty, and she with him. Westcott visits his friend. Baxter, on a very hot day, and cool drinks arc ordered of Betty. She finds the Ice box without the necessary .ma- terial, but Boy appears-on his dally round tnd the love-making Is renewed, while "old . Bol plays wickedly .with the cake of ice, which has dwindled- to about 8x6, when (ho frustrated father of the girl appears- Just as Roy Is about to kiss Betty. He orders the ice man'! away, but, after he rejoins the elderly Westcott, Boy returns, proposes to Hetty, and they begin an elopement In the • tec wagon, with the two angered parents in pot pursuit in an automobile. Of course, Jey are overtaken, all four discover the identity of each other, and future happiness Is assured. • Arthur Johnson's appearance on the screen raiwea many favorable comments from the audience. He has made the character of che Hinntcur Ice man very entertaining, and, supported by an able cast and with luxurious situations in the home scenes, the picture r finely. The supposed melting of and find that the tramps have devoured all that was eatable. A farce comedy that furnished good amuse- ment On the same reel is "Olympic Games, Pittsburgh Y. M. C. A." An excellent athletic subject. The pictures were taken at an outdoor meet of the Y. M. C. A., of Pittsburgh,- and a great number of nationalities are represented among the con- testants. A call sthenic drill by school chil- dren, discus throwing, foot races and pole vaulting arc very interesting features of the pictures. Tod.' "Scenes Along- the Patoatao" (KInemaeolor), Released Oct.

AMERICAN PICTURE FILMS IN WO RLD TRA DE . EXPORTS AND IMPORTS REACH LARGE FIGURES. Fifteen thousand miles of motion picture Alms were exported from the United States In the last fiscal year, while nearly 3,000 miles were Imported. The exact length of the mo- tion picture Dims exported in the year ending June 30, 1012, according to the Division of Statistics of this Bureau, was 80,0:15,302 feet, valued at $6,815,060; the exact length of tbo motion picture Blmt Imported was" 14,274,768 feet of "positives," valued at $825,083, exclusive of other films and plates valued at (179,130, of which the quantity Is not stated. A comparison of the exports In 1012 with those of preceding years is Im- practicable, since .1912 was the first fiscal year In which the quantity of motion picture tilns exported (measured In feet) was re- corded in the statistical returns to the Dc- {isrtmcnt of Commerce and Labor. The fact, towever, that photographic goods, of which motion picture Alms form apparently about 75 per cent, of the total, amounted to nearly tori million dollars value in the exports of 1012, against a little over seven million In 1011, and 4*4 million In 1010, suggests a very rapid growth in the exportation of mo- tion picture films. On the Import side tho growth Is much less strongly marked, the figures being for "positives" 14U million feet in 1012, against 11% million In 1911. A large proportion of the motion picture films now used in the various parts of the world are manufactured in the United States. About two-thirds of those exported go In the "unexposed" form, ready for use In taking pictures In those parts of the world to which stnt. Tho other one-third is in the complete state, having been utilized in the United States in making finished motion picture films ready for use In placing illustrations upon the screen. Of the Importations, prac- tically all are "exposed" films, views taken In - other parts of the world for use In the United States. INTERNATIONAL CINEMATOGRAPH EXHIBITION IN LONDON.

Two first class dramas and a split reel, containing comedy and scenic subjects, make up George Klclso's program of releases for the week ending Uct. 10. For the regular Tuesday release, "Tho Ad- venture of the 'Bcarccrow" furnishes an unlquo story which offers excellent oppor- tunity for a. successful photoplay. As the title suggests, a scarecrow figures very promi- nently. Tbo film Is replete with exciting dra- matic situations, describing tbo waylaying of ton flnal capture of tho culprits on the part of the police by a clever ruse, Involving the scarecrow. The prlncpal roles are taken by Chas. Cattanco, Maurice Anderson and Carlo Moltlni. The latter docs especially fine work as the chief of police. For Wednesday "The Missing Locket" makes a very acceptable flltn. It shows clearly how a trifling caprice upon.the part of a child can lead to grave consequences if not prevented In time. The gradual develop- ment of:the.story, from tho perfectly, harm- less to the "near, tragedy,!' Is very cleverly brought about, as Is also the change in the character, of the husband; front the loving,- kindly father, to the revengeful,, lnfuratcd demon. .. ■• 1 . .: The Saturday split reel, comprising "An Abbreviated Honeymoon': and ''Among the Mountains of Calabria," furnishes A divert- ing and Interesting - subject, full of actlou and many humorous' situations.
