5 ther, the time may not be far off when our dramatic schools will be Coquelin from the moving picture screen. Unfortunately in our rush to in¬ troduce the moving pictures into this country — a rush that is creating a very thoughtless competition in the trade — our manufacturers are for¬ getting the ethics of business. They have not as yet compromised in the French manner with the American dramatist, though they will be forced later on to do so; but they have been taking without permission the pop¬ ular successes of the moment and turning them by the wholesale into kinetoscqpic shows. That is why, in its last session, the copyright com¬ mittee called before it many repre¬ sentatives of the American Dramat¬ ists’ Club, especially those who were suffering by reason of the kinetoscopic performances of their plays. ECONOMIZER FOR D. C. Keith’s Nickel Theatre at Port¬ land, Maine, has now been equipped with the “Hallberg Automatic Elec trie Economizer” for direct-current operation on the regular 110-voit line wires with 15-ampere fuses, delivering to the moving picture lajpp a direct current, adjustable by means of a small field controller, within reach of the operator, be¬ tween 2 0 and 35 amperes. This style of “Economizer” was exhib¬ ited at the recent Electrical show, where it controlled several moving picture and stereopticon lamps, and the reports from Portland, Maine, are that the ’“Economizer” sayes between 45 and 50 per cent, on the bill. The “Hallberg Direct-Current Economizer” represents an impor¬ tant development, because it gives opportunity to moving picture thea¬ tres operating on direct-current, to reduce their bills 45 to 50 per cent, on 110 volts and 70 to 75 per cent, on 220 volts, or 85 to 90 per cent, on 500 to 650 volts direct-current circuits, which has heretofore never been accomplished. A VOLUNTEER. E. L. Lauste, a London cinemato¬ grapher writes the INDEX that should any film maker arrange to film President Roosevelt’s proposed hunting trip in Africa he would like to bid for the job of camera man. It seems that Mr. Lauste is a photo¬ grapher of extensive experience not only in the art, but also in travel; he lays claim to a thorough knowl¬ edge of African territory, geograph¬ ically, its climate, diseases and other dangers, having been through it. We will cheerfully place in¬ quiries in touch with him. Automatic Piano Players, 44 notes, for sale. Apply FRANK SHAW Sc CO. 1842 7th Ave. New York City THE FILM INDEX TRADE DIRECTORY.
