The greatest engineering feat of any age will Boon be obscured from view by the entry of waters into the can.nl. Even now much of the waterway has been flooded, but as the Klnemacolor experts have been at work In the Canal Zone making these pictures for a period of many months, they have secured a most comprehensive series of views. Lawrence Grant, who created much atten- tion whllo giving a chat explanatory of the Coronation, and Durbar series, will speak In connection with Ibis presentation. His knowledge of Panama is extensive, and the spectacular pictures have been much en- hanced during the preliminary road tour by lils efforts. The entire history of the canal has been followed.

Diehard Hyde, president of the Hyde k Behman Amusement Company, of Brooklyn, N.

He was apparently in good health on his return from Florida, last .March, but contracted a severe cold, from which h* never recovered, and went to Tucson the early part of November to regain his health. Mr. Hyde was born In Adams Street, Brooklyn, May 22, 1840. He attended Pub- lic School, No. 1, where he first became ac- quatated with I,. ■ O. Behman. As a young ■nan he was a bat apprentice with J.

H. P. EXHIBITORS' LEAGUE* There will be big doings in Ohio on Tues- day, Jan. 21, and Wednesday, Jan. 22, 1018. The Ohio State Branch No. 1, of the Motion Picture Exhibitors' Laaguo of America, will hold Its annual convention at Columbus, 0. New officers will be elected, committees ap- pointed, etc. At the same time the Ohio State Conven- tion meets tbe national vice presidents from thirty-three States will meet In Columbus. The Ohio State Convention will be very inter- esting, na Ihe State Legislature will be tn session and tbe new governor, Hon. James M. Cox, will then he at the helm, and there are several bills which will affect the members of the State League of Ohio which will bo introduced at tbe coming session of the Legis- lature, naturally there 1b a great deal of Interest being taken in tbe coming conven- tion. The attorney general Is also very active and at that time will be working In conjunction with Senator Porpkor'a office and Hon. J. J.

No detail of the gigantic work has escaped the Klnemacolor experts, and to witness the exhibition gives a much better idea of the undertaking In its entirety tban could tie gained by an actual visit to the Canal Zone at Panama. In tbo color Sims you are shown dredges excavating huge masses of earth, suction drills that bore into tbe soil and automatically remove the earth as it is looiened, tho pouring of concrete between the vast guide walla and tho blasting away of a mountain In one single explosion. Then there la the construction of the lock gates, and. possibly moat striking of all, the swing- ing open of the first gate Tn the canal. It Is not only aa the portrayal of a great en- gineering undertaking from Its purely me- chanical aspect that these pictures make tbclr appeal; they have possibly a deeper significance In that they record a wonderful feat of human skill and patience, and repro- duce at the same time an event of great historic and political Importance. The splendid series of pictures are so be- wildering In their variety as to baffle de- scription. Reproduced in the actual colors of nature, they convey an Idea of the Infinite magnitude of the undertaking such as no •words could realise, and leave the spectator amazed and fascinated, not by the actual work alone, but In almost equal degree by the eklll and enterprise shown by the Klnema- color experts who produced the films. The greatest engineering feat of any age has been perpetuated for future generations in this scries of Klnemacolor, which In Its way la as great as the Panama Canal.
