The light in the study flickered and Qared up. The Bishop laid bis band on the boy's head, and the boy looked up at him. "Thank you. Grandfather," he said; "your story has decided inc. Lucile and I" will be married tonight." The Bishop started a bit. He bad not expected this, then he looked at the young face beneath him and nodded. Still later his granddaughter came in with the evening paper to read aloud to him. Among other items was the death of Madame Cavallini. with a biography of her fame, her charities, her impeccable vears. the fact that she had never married. Long after the young people had gone to bed the Bishop sat alone with the odor of white violets about him and a tiny handkerchief, lace-trimmed and monogrammed, close within his palm. They Aren't All On Broadway (Continued from page 77) least one enterprising photographer has bought an aeroplane so that he may get actual moving bird's-eye views of large industrial plants. Practically every big store and factory owns a projection outfit, and many of them maintain motion picture production departments. The motion picture has found any number of uses ui factorv and store. It can be made invaluable in instructing new employees regarding their duties. Salesmen make a few reels of film a part of their regular equipment so that they may show prospective customers pictures of the concerns they represent. But the greatest of all uses to which a motion picture can be put in an industrial plant is the entertainment and education of employee-. In the Edison lamp works of the General Electric Company at Harrison, X. 1., where a million electric lights are made each week, lunch-hour movie entertainments have become as much of a fixture as have lunches. Municipal governments, as well as world powers, have made use of the apparentlv inexhaustible versatility of the motion picture. There is scarcely a chamber of commerce in any live town which will not pay at least part of the expenses of filming that town's points of interest for some" travel picture, and many cities have themselves organized production departments for the purpose of advertising their desirable qualities. One large American industrial center put the movie to a novel use in avoiding labor trouble. It put the picture literally "on a soap-box" and thereby drew audiences from street-corner agitators. The "soap-box" movies called into use the camionette. A general Americanization series of films, which proved an excellent antidote for Bolshevistic propaganda, was shown by these camionettes on street ikt\ under I ainst the walls oi school buildings, for a period of months. Unheralded by advertising, these outdoor pictures unostentatiously did tin even the country, ice. More and more univi comes the movie in its appeal. The day when it v.as confined to the Broadways of the cities is passed— it has in emergencies proven its power — it has come to stay. do Size Write for "Uarl de la Toilette" lo GEO. BORGFELDT &. CO.
