6 THE FILM INDEX IMPORTANT SUGGESTION. Says the New York “Independent,” editorially: “One suggestion of our correspon¬ dent who writes about saloons de¬ serves especial endorsement. He urges that our school boards give free houseroom to nickeldeon shows even¬ ings, providing that all moving pic¬ tures used be approved by some edu¬ cational authority. The People’s In¬ stitute and the University Settlement have already proved that these mov¬ ing pictures can be made popular without sensationalism, vapidity or indecency. The children are “crazy” over them, and even the old people attend in crowds, while the usual admission price of five cents is within the reach of all. Hundreds of New Yorkers attend the public lectures under the able directorship of Dr. Leipziger, but thousands would at¬ tend nickeledeon performances of the right sort. The People’s Institute have already organized a representa¬ tive committee of public spirited citi¬ zens, who pass upon all plays pro¬ duced in town, and those approved are offered to wage earners, shop girls, teachers and school children at reduced rates. Some similar scheme might be adopted for the nickelo¬ deon. The Independent suggests, therefore, to the Boards of Educa¬ tion in New York City and elsewhere that they open their schools for au¬ tomatic piano concerns and nickelo¬ deon performances in addition to the more serious lectures that have al¬ ready proved so successful. Thus the children will be reached as well as a class of older people who do not now attend the lectures, and the city will begin to redeem itself for having fail¬ ed to provide for its citizens parks, playgrounds and other means of in¬ nocent recreation and enjoyment.” JUST SPELLED WRONG. E. L. Weill -is the manager of the Unique Theatre, on Fourteenth Street, New York. An INDEX man who walked in on him one day this week found him alone in his office, but he jumped up joyfully when he saw the visitor. “Say!” he almost yelled, “I’ve just been wishing for somebody to walk in and look at this; I got it in the mail two minutes ago!” The visitor looked at the proffered envelope; it was from Tahoka, Tex., and was addressed as follows: MR. E. L. WEILL, EUNICH THEATRE, 14TH ST., N. Y. CITY. LUBIN HOME. S. Lubin, the Philadelphia film manufacturer, has returned from his trip through Europe. He was caught while making an elegant dash for his train, consequently time did not per¬ mit him to launch forth on the sub¬ ject of his trip. He looks splendid, however, and promises something new soon. TRAD LICENSED FILM MANUFAC¬ TURERS. Edison Mfg. Co., 10 Fifth Ave., New York City. 304 Wabash Ave., Chicago, Ill. Essanay Film Mfg.
