SI. Uohnn s dramatization of "Seven Keys to Baldpatc," which is scheduled to open there on Labor Day. Incidentally, the ex- hibitors end delegates to the recent motion plcturo conclave held nt the Grand Central Palace, displayed much Interest in viewing the picture projection of Slcnklcwlct's world renowned romance, and all agreed that tho photographers of ''Quo VndisP in point of technical worth, mussivcuess of production and cnmcrlc clearness, attained the point they strove for. ■ Birrs his own film. Travers Vale, general director for the Pilot Film Company, of Yonkcrs, N. Y., pro- duced a feature film called "The Streets of Now York," and was so fascinated by It that be decided to buy the rights to it. This is, as far as we know, the first time that a director of a moving picture concern haa bought his own production. Mr. Vale will not only show the picture here, but will alto exhibit It in England and Australia. He will still continue with the Pilot Com- SELIG NEWS, W. N. Sbi.ih hax secured all the pictorial play rights for Rex Beach's masterpiece, r, The Spoilers." This is only one of a scries of representations that will be made by the Sellg Company in the near future, of books whose fame is indelible and others that have ranked at the top as the best sellers. Tho brothers Faraum, long-associated with heavy dramatic productions as actors of force, Are and finish, take the leading roles in "The Spoilers." The contracts of the Farnum brothers, William and Marshall, call for their nppearaoce in another literary master- piece visualized in play form, which will bo announced later. The effort to get the very best material in this form of amusement in- dicates the sincerity of producers' motives in sustaining the high mission that the serious play-going public nave imposed. Unusual Interest Is said to have been aroused at the army posts, in the Grand Army centres, military schools and other or- ganizations where the tactics enter the field and follow the flag, by a series of moving pictures that have the staadard U. S. brand, "made by a soldier," for the Sellg Polyscope. CO., through special permit Major Thomas J. Dixon, Chaplain of the Sixth Field Artil- lery, stationed at Fort Riley, is said to be the only man in the army who can manipu- late a moving picture camera. He recently taught a very exciting chase of a coyote, tho hunt being led by officers, and the wolf being chased by a pack of thirty-two hounds. It was taken over very broken ground, which necessitated much Jumping on the part of the horses—In every way Is a most unusual photograph. Another picture showed the battery of horse artillery (war strength) going into action, together with several other pictures of significant sort, having striking military and pictorial value. Thomas A. Edison and other leading lights of the moving picture world, who have its alms serious and studied, have been constantly predicting that the ultimate of the moving picture as a factor In civiliza- tion, will find its place as a basic matter of education In the school bouse, to be Incor- porated in the common school service studies, as well as in the special feature of advanced study in all brancaes of science and educa- tion. River Forest is a beautiful suburb of Chicago, In which municipality affairs have been administered in very up-to-date fash- ion. River Forest, for Instance, has a busi- ness manager, who reports to the Board of Alderman, and all the civic affairs are con- ducted upon a business basis. Tbe latest In- novation will be motion picture shows, which will be placed In the public school buildings on Saturday nights, when tbe schools open in September, A charge will be made for these shows until tbe complete equipment is paid for. Then the Idea is to make them gratuitous. Tim Sellg Polyscope plant not only has made some of the most wonderful reels ever put forth in peace and war, in sorrow and in love, but it has real romance to crown its work. The sentimental, sensational culmina- tion of last week was the marriage of Mabel Taliaferro, who played the title role of "Cin- derella" with such grace and charm last sea- son in one of tbe most remarkable repre- sentations of the fairy myth ever put out, to Thomas Carrigan, who played "Prince Charm- ing" in Unit production. Congratulations were showered upon the couple from all points of the globe. Mr. Carrigan, who is now playing a Summer season in St. Louis, as the leading man with Miss Taliaferro, ex- Sccts to return to Chicago for the Winter at le Sellg establishment. Thomas Pebsons, formerly superintendent of tbe Sclig Polyscope plant in Chicago, has been made superintendent of the Sellg Wild Animal Farm at Edendale, Cal., and will re- move his larce et penatee to tbe glorious climate, where he can be lulled to rest by the sonorous roars of the lions or tbe dia- bolic laughter of the hyenas, in preference to the carping chatter of the actors, the kicks of tbe clicking camera mea, or tbe solidified remarks of the developing department. Myiitlb Stedman. the leading lady of the Sellg Stock Co., in the field at Prescott, Ariz., before Joining this organization where she has reigned as a divinity for two years past, had experience in comedy drama, romantic opera and light opera. She is more than common tall, fair as a Viking, well rounded, yet superbly svelt. In addition to her gifts nnd graces as a woman and actress, she is undoubtedly tbe best equestrienne associated with pictorial drama. SELIG RELEASES FOR WEEK OP AUG. 4. Aco. 4.—"The Granite Dells."

At the Savoy Theatre, New York, there was shown for the first time in public, on Thursday afternoon, July 17, the latest product of tho Pilot Film Corporation, of Yonkers. N. Y. It is a three reel feature, called "The Streets of'New York," after tbe popular melodrama by Dion Bouclcault, and which was played all over the country with great success by Frank Mayo. The picture version was produced by TraverB Vale, and lie has pinned so much faith in tbe picture that he has bought the New York rights to it himself. If moving picture patrons like a picture that has Bensatlon, thrills and heart Interest end a large share of comedy, they will get more than their fill in "The Streets of New York." Never for a single moment does your interest lag, and the acting is of a high order. As a piece of photography it is marvelous. The picture scored an instant success at the Savoy, which it should have no trouble in implicating wherever it is shown. The first scene is in New York City during the panic of 1907. Gideon Bloodgood, a banker, Is on the eve of absconding. At this Juncture relief comes in the person of Cap- tain Falrweather, who lias sold out bis in- terests lu the Mercantile Marine Company, intending to retire. Falrweather comes to Bloodgood's bank. It is after banking hours, but he prevails upon Bloodgood to accept his money, amounting to $100,000, as a special deposit. News tomes that the captain who was to have taken command of Falrweather's ship has met with a severe accident and Is unable to sail, ills old employers prevail upon Falrweather lo make this final trip. He is about to go on board when he buys a paper, and is horrified to discover tbat Bloodgood's ' bunk is In a shaky condition. He rushes back to the bank. Bloodgood and his as- sistant, Badger, who are dividing the money received from the captain, are startled by tbe entrance of the captain. He demands his money. Bloodgood tells him it is after bank- ing hours, ana to come tbe next day. The Intense excitement brings on a fit of apo- plexy, and the captain falls dead In tbe banker'B office. They carry the body out on the sidewalk, and olrcumstanccs point to the fact that the captain dropped dead In the streets. Bloodgood prevails upon Badger to go out ■West, and the captain's money saved the bank. ■Several years elapse, and Captain Fair- weather's widow ond children are in des- titute circumstances. Bloodgood discovers that the.v arc living in one of his tenements, end he gives orders to his superintendent to dispossess tlieia. In the meantime Badger meets with hard luck In the West and is broke. While tbe captain was lying dead in tbe office Badger managed to secure the re- ceipt that Bloodgood gave him for tbe money. Badger manages with great difficulty to make bis way back to New York City, and a. rives at Bloodgood's mansion. Wilh the receipt as a weapon, he makes Bloodgood promise to pay him handsomely. At this moment Paul Falrweather. the son, in answer to an advertisement by Blood- good for a servant on bis estate, appears on the scene. Both Bloodgood and IJadger dis- cover that he is the son of the man they have robued, and Bloodgood orders him from the house. .Badger goes to a tenement and, in the next room, by a strange coincident, llveB the Falrweather family. Bloodgood fol- lows Badger and discovers his abiding place, and, being afraid that Badger will blackmail him, owing to the possession of the receipt, determines to set fire to the house and thus destroy the evidence of his crime. Mrs. Fair- weather becomes despondent over their un- happy situation, and determines to end it all by asphyxiation. Her daughter discovers this, and they determine to die together. The fire tbat Bloodgood started is now making rapid headway, and Badger in his rowm is overcome by the fumes. An alarm of fire is turned in and the Fire Department starts for the scene. Paul Bees the flames and dashes into the house, re- solving to save his family. With the as- sistance of a fireman the women are carried out to safety. Passing Badger's room, Paul discovers there 1b some one Inside. Bursting In the door, he rescues Badger, who still has tho receipt. Out of gratitude Badger tells Paul tbe whole story, and forces Bloodgood to make restitution. Badger is about to call in the police and band his old partner into custody when Paul, seeing the banker's great devotion to bis only child, and thinking of the disgrace it would brine upon the girl, refuses to prosecute. The story ends happily with the Fair- weather family In possession of the fortune their father left them, and Badger becomes a useful member of society. The cast includes Louise Vale, who is cast as Lucy. ■ POWERS LOS ANGELES NEWS. BY KICIIARO WILLIS. Director Harry c. Matthews Is engaged upon another of his pretty stories, which will be released under the Monarch brand, which is being exploited by General Manager Tom Evans, nt rfollywood.

"Secondly, due to Ills attitude as regards tbe National Censorship, we had come to ths conclusion that ho would not be the proper individual to represent us as president, nut therefore had decided, with the help of Mr. Sweeney, the Chicago candidate, and F. t Ilerrlngton, the Pittsburgh candidate, ox nominating Mr. Phillips, of Texas, in whicx we were supported by the States of Illinois.
