Reel Life (Sep 1913 - Mar 1914)

Re©! LIf© Their Golden Wedding By Lloyd F. Lonergan Jan. 2, 1913 Granville Sewell (aged 75) Mr. Thompson Elizabeth, his wife Leslie Stose Enna, their daughter Florence La Badie William, Enna's husband Sidney Bracey Tom, their son (aged 28) Harry Benham Malatesta, drawing teacher Mr. Wood The Sewells' married life had been ideal, and their Golden Wedding day found no happier couple living. Their daughter was home, with her husband and boy, and there were neighbors in, and much merrymaking. Late in the afternoon — when the others had gone for a walk about the place — Granville Sewell, a little tired from the unusual excitement, slipped off by himself to think over the past. He seemed to see again beautiful Elizabeth Wight, as he first met her — and then came the call to arms, and their wedding was indefinitely postponed. In the next four years, he gave his best to his country, fighting under Sherman— and was dangerously wounded. Then Elizabeth came, and they were married— on his death bed, it was supposed. But her tenderness and skill in nursing saved his life — he was spared to fifty years of almost unparalleled happiness, with a wife, who now, at seventy-five, was still the sweetheart of his youth. Business depression is an unknown term in the motion picture industry, according to news gleaned from the dividend columns of the daily papers. The Mutual Film Corporation announces its regular monthly dividend number Eight as one-half of one percent with an extra dividend of one-half of one percent on common stock. The New York Motion Picture Corporation which manufactures pictures for the Mutual program announces the seventh monthly dividend as one percent on its capital stock and an extra dividend of one percent thereon. Both of these notices are signed by Charles J. Hite, Treasurer, the well known motion picture magnate of Thanhouser fame. With special motion picture productions as the attraction in several Broadway theatres that have hitherto offered only successful stage dramas and with the leading vaudeville theatres featuring multiple reel pictures in the same sized type as their headline acts, things continue to look rosy in the world of filmdom. . Majestic Educating His Daughters By William Nigh Jan. 3, 1913 A retired capitalist had reared his three daughters — left motherless when Bess, the eldest, was only five — in the seclusion of his country place. In their "teens" thej' are still ignorant of the conventionalities— romping out of doors, dressed as boys — when an automobile accident acquaints them, for the first time, with the opposite sex. The ringleader of the three boys, who is in love with Bess, schemes to get admission to the capitalist's household — and disguising himself as a governees, is engaged to educate the girls. Incidentally, father falls in love with the governess. "Miss Hopkins" plaps her (his) game very cleverly — arranging trips for nature study in the woods, and so making possible meetings between his partners in crime and the three entrancing Misses Gilder. The finale comes at a ball — which teacher persuades the capitalist to give his daughters for educational purposes — when "Miss Hopkins" promises to accept father's advances, provided he will consent to the girls' marrying the men of their choice. Then comes the denouement — six young hearts are made happy — while father's romance dies a bitter death. Dave Thompson and Leslie Stose in "Their Golden Wedding" Thanhouser
