A forest fire broke out all about her, and he went In search' ot the good little roman he knew she was. She returned with the cattle before him, but he found her young life crushed out, and she felt not the hug and the kiss sbe so longed for that morning, lor she lay cold and still in his big, strong inns, never to laugh and love with him again. - .

It Is only a short time ago that the New York branch of the M. 1*. E. L. of America de- cided to hold an International exposition of the motion picture art, In conjunction with tbe third annual convention of the Motion Picture Exhibitors' League of America, With this object In view the following member* were appointed as committees to manage what will be known as the First Interna- tional Exposition of tbe Moving Picture Art., at the New Grand Central Palace, New York City. July 7-12, 1913. Tbe general committee consists of: Frank Tlchenor, chairman; F. E. Samuels, secre- tary; h, F. Blumcnthal, treasurer, and M- Needle, L. Rosenthal, J. King, B. FJ. Cornell, and S. H. Trigger, president ex-officlo. Tbe advlsorj- committee Is made up of Sidney Ascher, chairman; R. L. McNabb, secretary, E. Valencia, A. Baucrnfreund, Grant W. An- son, M. J. Goldfard, M. L. Flelsohman. B, M. Davidson, G. F. Wright, William Douquo, A. N. Wolff, E. N. Day and R, C. Whltten. These gentlemen have had a number of meet- ings, and a great deal of preliminary work has been accomplished. A number of show promoters have en- deavored to buy the exhibitors franchise, but the committee have refused to allow any one to handle the proposition and will run it themselves from the offices of the exposition committee on the second floor of the Ger- man Bnrk Building, Fourth Avenue and Fourteenth Street, New York CHy. A novel plan has been suggested by Mr. Samuels which will undoubtedly be used to advantage. He suggests building four modern motion picture theatres on the mezzanine floor of the New Grand Central Palace, and In these theatres install every known device to make them what every moving picture theatre should be, and what In future every moving picture theatre will be. At the present time there Is much criticism about some moving picture theatres, and much of It Is undoubt- edly true. The motion picture exhibitors of Greater New York are for the most part law abiding citizens, and are endeavoring to con- duct their theatres on a law abiding basis. The above Idea will give an opportunity to 20,000 exhibitors from all over the world to see tho very latest in theatrical construction and Inner decorations appertaining to the motion picture Industry. The Idea Is to have the latest ventilating systems Installed and the best lighting effects, the most comfortable chairs, the best projecting mjchines. the recognized leading screens, and everything that will make the motion picture theatre.

The Vltagraph Co. has so often over- thrown all precedents In Its marvelous and marked success, no doubt "The Globe Trot- ters will add to It In their twirl around the world. "The Vltagraph Globe Trotters" was conceived on Friday, June 13. Some of the trotters" left New York on Friday, the 6th, the rest on Saturday, the 7th, making a total of 13; leaving on the 2.13 train, and one of the company was assigned to lower berth 13 In the Pullman. They left San Kranclsco for Hawaii on Friday. Dec. 13. They had twenty- Mx pieces of baggage which, divided by two, makes 13. They will take steamer from Nagasaki for Shanghai on Monday, Jan. 13, 1913. They will reach Rangoon on Feb. 13, 1913, and call at Aden on their way to Port Said on Wednes- day. March 13. 1913. The/ are expected to turn home on Fri- day, June 13, 1913. and will probably ar- rive In New York City ca Saturday, Sept. With this record of fhlrteens the Vita. graph Globe Trotters will all be eligible to the "Thirteen Club," and should occupy the seats of honor. There are thirteen letters In "globe trot- ters;" five of the trotters nave thirteen let- ters In their names: William 8. Smith, William Ranous, Eugene F. Mullen, Harry L. Keepers and Helen Costello. There Is always a fascination in doing tho unusual and placing your fate In destiny, thirteen or no thirteen. Optimism Is the hope and Incentive to success. He who does the right thing at the right time, regardless of dogma or adage, is the one who does the most good for others. Those who arc doing the Vltagraph globe trotting arc: William Ranous, director; Will- iam S. Smith, business manager; MaurlcoCos- tello, Mrs. Costello, Helen and Dolores Cos- tello, James Young and wife, Clara Kimball Young, Eugene Mullen, scenario writer, and Harry L.

With but one dissenting vote, the city aldermen on Dec. 17 decided In favor of tbe ordinance proposed by Alderman Ralph Folks, regulating moving picture houses. The ordi- nance was put through, however, only after Alderman Folks and the other Fusion and Republican members agreed to accept an amendment to It, proposed by Alderman Frank Dowllng, the Tammany minority leader, providing for censorship of films by the Board of Education, along the lines sug- gested by Canon Chase, of Brooklyn. The ordinance, as drawn by Alderman Folks covers the increase of the seating ca- paclty of moving picture houses from 300 to UOO, the construction, ventilation, lighting and heating of future theatres, and concen- trates In the Bureau of Licenses the mu- nicipal powers necessary to regulate the busi- ness. It was Alderman Folks' intention to deal with the censorship matter at some fu- ture time, after the ordinance had been adopted. ■ M. P. LAW IN dlKBEC, CAN.
