W. N. Selig, president of the Selig Polyscope Company, has again hit upon something new in the way of photoplay offerings — it being a tabloid version of the famous "Adventures of Kathlyn," which was one of the first big serial productions ever released. Kathlyn Williams, the celebrated Selig star, can now be seen in all the stirring episodes of her adventures as "Kathlyn" at one performance, for the extremely long, multiple-reel feature has now been cut down to an entertainment which can be shown within a couple of hours, and yet all the "thrills" and "adventures" are as interesting and interest compelling as they originally were. With "tabloid movies" an a c c o m plished fact, "tabloid musical comedy," which has long been popular, has nothing on filmdom.
Billy Sunday should rejoice. True Boardman, who has been holding up stagecoaches, robbing banks, and terrorizing the country in general in the title role of the "Stingaree" series of films released by Kalem, has reformed ■ — you see, the series is now completed —and in the future will be thoroughly law-abiding, for he is to be starred in a big, new series from the pen of George Bronson-Howard.

Somewhere in this big land of ours there lives a mighty lucky man. You know, of course, that the Universal Company is staging a contest which seeks to locate among the many millions of good-looking men, the handsomest in America. When he is found, he is to be offered a job as a star at Universal City.

Now, doesn't that make the prize doubly worth winning — a chance to star in films and accept Violet's heart and hand? But, gosh, what will Violet do if the man, when he is found, proves to have a wife and seven children — for, isn't it pretty likely that the handsomest man in this wide country has already been caught by a woman? Little Violet isn't the only girl we know who is searching for the best that there is.
Xow that Burton Holmes, the travelogue man, has made a success with his pictures being released by Paramount, his fellow lecturer, Dwight Elmendorf, is going into the film game, only Dwight is game enough to organize a film company all of his own, and promises the public views of things it never dreamed of before. We shall see what we shall see — and one thing is sure — the beauty spots of the world are going to be seen and enjoyed by countless millions, who, in the past, have never had an opportunity of seeing and hearing either Burton or Dwight.
