His "Smoke and Grime" speech compares favorably with Grape Juice Willy's "Cross of Gold and Crown of Thorns" oratorical effort. "Pop" Rock says to "Pop" Lubin, "You promised to stay out at the farm as long as I did, and not leave for anything." Says "Pop" Lubin, "I didn't leave ; I had to come back on business." Mr. and Mrs. C. Lang Cobb spent their honeymoon visiting the convention exhibits. Cobb insisted that the Ramo films shown were the best at the convention and we agreed, because Cobb is bigger'n us. Weiland and Megowan of Pittsburg slipped your correspondent a two-spot, fearing to miss a single issue of this honorable magazine. They make smart men in Pittsburg and the aforesaid W. and M. are two good samples. Al. Lichtman brought his wife the second day. Al. was passing out Zenda postcards and wanted the missus to help. Bet a cookie his expense account shows he employed high-class talent for distributing. Joe Brandt had to leave before the blow-off. Another boy, Joe? . A quartette of boosters annoyed the meeting by shouting: "Who makes the best films ? Ramo ! Who makes the best machines? Simplex! What's the best moving picture magazine? Motography !" Pop Lubin took us all out in his Packard when the streets weren't crowded. Thanks, Pop. Vernon Carrick came to the eats in soup and fish clothes. Best looking man at the banquet 'cept one. That lets you out, don't it? Old Miller, of Plymouth, wearing a chef's cap with Ramo on the band looked like a man-o'-war's man. Eric Morison bought some flowers. I wish Eric would square me with the boss. How about it, Eric? Billy Home of L. A. and Bill Sweeney missed this one again. I always opined that bills were *the chief part of any convention. Pop Rock says he's going to sign a contract. It's in the mails, Pop. He's got a new scheme back of that Corona-Corona. He was lugging around the inventor of the monotype typesetting machine. Next thing you hear Pop Rock will be printing his positives on a dinky little typewriter with lead actors. What is this thing about Saunders and a motorcycle, any way: Lottie Briscoe and Arthur Johnson graced the banquet with their presence. Everyone forgot the ladies who favored the banquet. Here's a line for the girls. For the thin ones, may your shadow never grow less. For the stout ones, may your hopes materialize. For 'em all, God bless you. Clem Kerr and Freddie H. slipped me two bucks each and I spent 'em. I didn't keep any notes on the convention. Now how'll they get their subscription, anyhow? The Cobb Motion Picture Bureau had two slides that were novelties. One of their novelties was that they wouldn't go in the stereo-slide until Cobb's bay had been massaged down. The years add weight as well as dignity. Didn't Mrs. Cobb look fresh and bright? Al. Lichtman had a nice collection of snakes to show us. The tinting was beautiful, the photography fine but I don't know anything about snakes. I drink shulkill — Skulekyl or Skukill when I'm in Philadelphia. D'Arcy played host to me at Lubin's factory. First time T ever knew of a manufacturer that gave his employees free meals
