Their vaults are rich in movie records of the first automobiles, aeroplanes, fads and fashions and of royalty, theatrical and motion picture stars and just folks, through the years. There isn't a movie star who doesn't appear in this library's roster of fame. But most interesting is the fact that many of these films have never been seen since their initial showings more than a generation ago. Since availability of this rich store of vintage movie films in 8mm. and 1 6mm. was announced to the amateur by Fun Film Library, New York City, the "Old Time Movie Show" idea has caught on fast. Many amateur cine clubs are regularly staging exhibitions of these films for charity purposes, war bond drives, or in strictly entertainment functions for club memberships. One group recently conducted an Old Time Movie party with a special twistThey called it a "Swing-That-Villain Dance." As the guests arrived, each man was provided with a villain's moustache which he wore for the evening. Swing music for the dancing was provided by recordings. Climax of the evening's entertainment was the screening of old time movies with the silent thriller, "Struggle In the Steeple," the highpoint of the program. In this picture, old reliable "two-gun" Wm. S. Hart contrives to plug the villain with a ricochet shot off the bell in the tower. Another party took a patriotic turn. ► DOROTHY STONE, owner of more than 4,000,000 feet of old-time movies, is an illustrious "chip off the old block." Her father, Abram Stone, became one of the foremost figures in the motion picture world when he started a hobby of collecting movies. Probably the originator of collecting films as a hobby, he became owner of leading pictures of his day in which such stars as William S. Hart, Wally Reid, Gloria Swanson, and Mack Sennett's bathing beauties were featured. Some of these pictures date back to 1893 and are of such rare value, they are constantly in demand as a basis for research data on that era. After Abram Stone died in 1922, the film library he left to his wife and daughter might have proven as valueless as yesterday's newspaper but for the foresight of Dorothy Stone who recognized new entertainment value in these old films, made them available in %mm. and \6mm. through her Fun film Library in New York City. — Editor.
