San Francisco, Sept. 17. Maurice E. McLoughlin, national tennis champion, and one of the American team that brought back the Davis challenge cup from Europe, played a set of tennis here for the movies Sept. 5 on the courts of the California Tennis Club. SOCIETY FTLMS RUBBERNECKS. The sightseeing auto omnibuses that make 50 trips per day up Fifth avenue, equipped with lusty lunged announcers armed with megaphones, who point out the homes of the wealthy and shout out their personal histories, are to be restrained from making the residents of the avenue a human zoo for the entertainment of gaping pilgrims from the hinterland, if society can devise a way to do it. Yesterday for two hours in the morn- ing and four in the afternoon six men with cameras stood on the steps of as many homes along the famous way and photographed, or appeared to photo- graph, the ducking passengers on the rubberneck cars, as they came for- ward. One of the camera men was stationed along the avenue in front of tho Car- negie mansion at 90th street, another in front of the residence of Mrs. Made- line Force Astor at 65th street, and the others in front of other equally prominent residents along the two-mile row. Further than to show their permits to inquisitive policemen, the camera men would vouchsafe no information of their object in aiming their instru- ments at the sightseers. The heads of all the big film concerns in town de- nied connection with the camera band. At the offices of the rubberneck cars the home owners of Fifth avenue were blamed for the stunt, which it was claimed was designed to embarrass the rubberneck passengers so the auto 'bus managers would call oflF the megaphone men. Among the last communications sent to Mayor Gaynor on the eve of the sea voyape that ended in his death, was a petition from more than a score of the avenue's wealthy residents request- ing an abatement of a nuisance that prevented the colony from ever leav- ing their windows open unless they chose to be assailed all day long by the raucous voices of the sightseeing megaphone men detailing the real and fictitious social and business careers of residents of the homes the omni- buses passed. FILM MAN*S LIFE ATTEMPTED. Spokane, Sept. 17. Martin Egan, manager of a Butte, Mont., moving picture theatre, is under arrest here, charged with attempting to kill J. C. Close, salesman for the Mutual Film Co.'s branch located in Spokane. Egan has told the police he sought to kill Close because he had wronged his (Egan's) sister. Close denies this. Egan came here from Butte late last week. He bought a revolver and laid in wait for the salesman. Coming up with the man he sought, Egan firfed five shots at him at short range, but none took effect. PLEASmO THE K. MS. Chicago, Sept. 17. A picture house is to be built in Wil- mette, a fashionable suburb of Chi- cago. For a long time the city officials would not allow one of these places of amusement in the town, but housewives complained that they could not keep kitchen mechanics because there were no movies in town, so the city heads relented. «OPPOSE 8 FOR 6 SCALE. Chicago, Sept. 17. The Chicago movie fans of the South and North Sides, particularly in the congested Madison street sections and the North Clark street purlieus, have been writing letters of protest to the newspapers and aldermen against the "three reels for five cents and five reels for ten cents" policy instituted last Monday by picture house managers in the local managers' International As- sociation. Some of the writers, who claim to represent their neighborhoods, declare they will plan a boycott on certain of the movie theatres which adopted the new scale, unless the old full measure of film at the nickel price is restored. BILL BRYAN OBJECTED. One of the big film syndicates that prefers not to have its identity pub- lished in connection with the incident, attempted during the week to add to its features of a weekly picture news service W. J. Bryan in the act of ad- dressing a \Chatauqua audience in a program composed of the Swiss yod- lers and other near-vaudeville attrac- tions recently listed by the Chatauquas. It was met with the announcement that any attempt to photograph the Secre- tary of State during a lecture of the course would be followed by the arrest and prosecution of the photographer and his employers. FILM HALL OF FAME. When the next movie exposition is held, all the men who have helped make film history will be a moto- graphic exhibit, at least all those who are alive. George W. Lederer of the Mutual combination is at work on a thousand feet galaxy of film celebrities, including the pioneers of the Vita- graph, Kinemacolor, Biograph, Uni- versal and later combinations, the de- sign of the reel to show compactly with its living exploiters the evolution of the art of motion pictures with character photographs of the men who figured actively in the art's develop- ment. OHIO CENSORSHIP TANGLE. Columbus, O., Sept 17. The new censorship law that nukes the presentation of an unlicenied film in Ohio after Nov. 4, next, punishable by a fine and imprisonment promises to work out with the noiseless facility ot a bull in a china shop. Careful estimates place the number of films the board of directors will have to review before the law goes into effect at 8,000. It takes a whole even- ing to review six or seven reels. Three subjects a day would be going some for the inspectors, and probably blind them in the bargain. B'WAY STUDIO. George W. Lederer expects to turn the old roller skating rink at Broadway and 52d street into a movie studio for the integral of the Mutual Film service that the theatrical manager now rep- resents as general producer. The prop- erly has been on the rental market since its abandonment as a rink last spring. N. S. Barnum of 13 South William street, New York, rental agent for the rink, expects to be able to close the deal with the owners of the prop- erty within a few days. WILFRED NORTH*S INJURIES. Reports from the Coney Island Hos- pital where Wilfred North was taken following the premature powder ex- plosion that temporarily blinded the film player Sept. 16 (while posing for a Vitagraph picture at Sea Gate) de- clare the actor will carry the powder marks for life, though the injury to his eyes may leave no serious permanent effects. Wallace Van Nostrand, injured at the same time, reported for rehearsal at the Vitagraph compound yesterday. John Bunny and Lillian Walker, Vita- graph players, assigned to roles in the picture that eventuated in North's ac- cident, escaped without injury. NOBLE FILM SCENARIST. London, Sept. 17. The Countess of Warwick, who last season paid a flyitig visit to America for the institution of plans for an American lecture tour, and who paid a flying visit right back to dear old Lon- don after a disastrous two-night try- out of her eloquence, is now among the new uplifters of high art in film- dom. The countess has just written a movie scenario, and included her own ancestral Warwick Castle in the stage settings. M. P. E. L. CONVENTIONS. President N. A. Neff of the M. P. E. L. of A. and his right hand man, Clem Kerr, announce a big prospec- tive attendance at the Illinois conven- tion of the league at the Jefferson Ho- tel, Peoria, 111., Sept. 23-24, when Illi- nois Branch No. 2 will get together for reorganization and the election of new officers. Ihe Indiana convention of the asso- ciation is to be held at Indianapolis, Ind., at the Severin Hotel, Sept. 30- Oct. 1. The Florida affiliation will hold a convention next April in Sandford, FUl
