Arabia, the pet horse of Violet Ford, tracks down the man who stole a valuable neck- lace which father Ford had bought as a birthday present for bis daughter. Violet had two suitors, Bo* Collins and Hector Loraine, but Bod hod the winning band, and so his rival planned revenge. Ho' stole the necklace end left property belong- ing to Bob near the Ford Bate, where tho »ccklace was kept. Of course suspicion falls upon the favored eultor, but Arabia hap- pened to peer through a window and had seen Hector do the burglnrlslng. Hector was careless enough to secure the atolen foods In his handkerchief pocket, and Just as the police we're about to take Bob off to the lock-up Arabia appeared, snatched the hand- kerchief from the guilty one's pocket, and •he necklace fell to the lawn In front of tbe attending party of Violet's friends, and .?*?* wcn * Bvf8 y hi Pin** °* Bob* Horse sense" is not often featured on tho screen,-but the intelligence of this animal Is wp'tby of being mere often displayed In productions.

Tlchenor, chairman of the First International Exposition of the motion picture art, from M. A. Neff, president of the Motion Picture Exhibitors' League of America: ■ "Biuminoium.— -^Alabama organized. Forty- seven members. Following officers elected: A. A. Wall, Birmingham, national vice presi- dent; B. It. Colley, Birmingham', president; T. S. Abernathy. Birmingham, first vice presi- dent ; B. T. Wliby, Seluia, second vice presi- dent; John H. Snydwr, Bessemer, treasurer; J. O. Wells, Annlston, Secretary. (Signed) -M A Neff " In his address In the banquet room of the nillman Hotel, Mr. Neff told those present tho following facts: . .. ■■. "This is my first visit to Birmingham. From what I have seen of your city It Im- pressed me very much. As to the motion picture, alt I can say is what everybody knows, that it is the greatest business of the world to-day, the greatest educational force, the greatest force for the establishment of needed reforms, and the greatest force for the moral uplift of education in the world. For instance, who ever dreamt two years ego that China, ruled by the crudest despotism, would become a republic, as it is to-day T The motion picture la tbe answer. All tho teachings and prayers of the missionary were good for the heathen Chinese, but It was not until the arrival of the motion picture that millions of Chinese were able to see the progress of tho Western world. The sky- scrapers of New York, the architectural beauties of Europe, and the ways of edu- cated white people. Motion picture men the world over should feel proud that to them belongs much of tho credit of .this great reform. "The nickel and dime novel, bo popular ten years ago, has not survived the competition of the motion picture. Out of one hundred and fifty of these llcry publications only eight are now being published. This number will soon be reduced. The consumption of beer and whiskey In tbe United States since the motion picture came In vogue has fallen off thirty-two per cent Criminal statistics throughout the country have fallen off twenty-elgbt per cent., and It Is claimed that cigarette smoking has been greatly reduced, all owing to the Influence of educational pic- tures. The motion picture men are not con- tent with the success already achieved, but arc dally striving to better the films and to provide greater amusement and better thea- tres for the public." In explaining the alms of the Motion Pic- ture Exhibitors' League of America, which stands for (be uplifting of the Industry as a whole, the theme of his talk was "United wo stand, divided we fall." He spoko about tbe Third Annual Conven- tion and tbe First International Exposition of tbe motion picture art, explaining that never before In tbo history of tbo Industry has tbe exhibitor been accorded the opportu- nity of seeing all the up-to-date contrivances pertaining to the business. As explained by Mr. Neff, all the largest manufacturers in this country and Europe have arranged to exhibit their products to the ten thousand motion picture theatre owners who will at- tend the convention. He ended his talk by urging all exhibitors to Join tho league aqd work for the uplifting of the industry and fair legislature From tbe manner in which the exhibitors received Mr. Ncff's address It would seem that there will be a number of representatives from Alabama In New York on July 7. Tbe work ot furthering both the convention and the exposition Is icing hustled right along, and from the headquarters of tbe exposition comes tbe news that there Is very little space left on the main floor of the New Grand Central Palace. From Birmingham President Neff went to New Orleans, tho train being three and one- half hours late, he did not arrive until 13.30. Shortly after his arrival at tho Oninewald Hotel, W. II.
