of^cience 245 firm respond to the call for the serial now so popular on screen and in magazines alike. Selecting its fiction magazine known as "Short Stories," and authorizing its editor, H. E. Maule, to go as far as he liked, the latter arranged with the late Thomas W. Hanshew (who passed away just as his fiction characters were to be filmed), author of "Cleek of Scotland Yard," to prepare a serial, entitled "The Chronicles of Cleek," which is being released simultaneously by the Edison Company and "Short Stories" on the fourth Tuesday of each month. Hanshew did not live to witness the triumph of this innovation which introduced the detective serial as a film feature. Undoubtedly his sad demise has removed one whom many believe was about to enter the scenario field with serious intent, and as Hanshew had been an actor and had written plays since he was ten years old, the loss to filmdom is indeed regretable. The sensational vogue of Harold MacGrath's "Adventures of Kathlyn" on screen and in the press alike has attracted the attention of other film manufacturers to this author, who undoubtedly has found his income vastly enlarged if reports emanating from the Selig institution are correct, and as the saying is, "It never rains but it pours," for now comes the indefatigable Thanhouser Company with the announcement that it will produce Mr. MacGrath's "The Million-Dollar Mystery," on June 21st (one week before the Kathlyn series ends). The arrangements in this instance are on a prodigious scale. The number of publications to present the fiction story in weekly installments is in excess of two hundred, including, as Mr. Hite aptly puts it, " 'The Chicago Tribune,' Creator of Kathlyn."
