MOTOGRAPHY
Vol. VII, No. 6.
She Removed Her Hat
A man entered a picture show and was not seated long before a woman entered, moving forward under a very large hat. She sat in front of the man and she didn't remove her hat.
The man dodged to right and left, but his range of vision was like that presented by looking down a cellar hole. Then the man had a bright idea. He put on his own hat and stretched his neck.
"Take oft" that hat! Take off that hat!" bawled a dozen voices behind him. And the woman, thinking the voices were directed at her, removed the gaily decorated outfit she carried on her head.
Booming Home Cities "With Motography
Frank Smith, manager of the Gaiety Theater, Springfield, 111., and L. M. Rubens, manager of the Crystal Stairs Theater, Joliet 111., have recently had moving pictures taken of their respective cities which they exhibited at their theatres, reports E. B. Lockwood. The pictures were taken by the Industrial Moving Picture Company and are exceptionally fine. The photography is excellent and the scenes very interesting.
Mr. Smith and Mr. Rubens are both public spirited men, with the welfare of their cities at heart. They were among the first to take upon themselves the expense of having pictures taken of their cities, therefore they deserve a great deal of credit. The public dem
onstrated its appreciation by packing the theaters while the pictures were being exhibited. Many patrons were turned away several times, but later had the privilege of seeing their city and many of its citizens projected upon the curtain.
These managers have demonstrated that moving pictures of their home cities are not only a profitable investment but that they are a great benefit to the city at large. They exploit the industries, business sections, parks and boulevards, and the beautiful residential districts.
The pictures are to be turned over to the commercial clubs to be used in promoting and advertising the cities, and will be shown to the smaller towns in the adjacent territory, in addition to their use at conventions and gatherings of commercial executives.
Picture Publicity for Australia
The government of Australia is keenly alive to the necessity for effective advertising in order that South Australia may develop her export trade and secure the full share of the emigration from the United Kingdom and other parts. With this object in view it has been decided to take a series of cinematograph views of the state and forward them to the agentgeneral for exhibition throughout Great Britain. It is believed that in this way the people will become better acquainted with the scenic and industrial attractions of the state.
