Actual Recorded Fact, and Not a Matter of Invention or Imagination—Prove Photoplay Field a Field of Romance. All of us have read fiction stories that recorded the recognition of the features of some long-lost son or other missing and highly interesting person in chance-found photograph or moving-picture film. Most of us also have regarded these stories as highly creditable from the viewpoint of invention and imagination, but here is a story from the realm of fact: "Pana, Ill.—A naval picture of men loading rifles on the battleship Florida at Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was published in a newspaper, has resulted in the location of a son of wealthy parents, for many years residents of Raymond, west of Pana, after he had been missing five years. "The parents recognized in the picture a striking resemblance of their son, who disappeared from his home when he was seventeen years old, and they sent for the picture as originally made and then took up correspondence with the navy department, learning from the officials that a young man of the description given by them of their son had enlisted five years ago. "The navy department is now in correspondence with officers of the Florida in Vera Cruz harbor in an effort to bring parents and son together once more. When he enlisted in the navy the young man gave an assumed name." With great effort we force back the comment that "fact is stranger than fiction," but it is, nevertheless, when you come to think of it. The moving-picture field is a field of romance, where anything is possible and where everything that is possible sometimes is true—Pittsburgh Dispatch. ILLUSIONS CONTINUE TO GO Leading Theatrical Paper Now Calmly Announces That Ben Wilson Is a Married Man. This week we shatter a whole cluster of illusions and also take from Uncle Sam much valuable coin of the realm in postage.

The only Ben Wilson who is not married is only seven months old, so give him a chance. "Cleek," who is also coming into prominence as a director of pictures, is rather proud of Benja-min F. Jr., and we dare say the feeling is reciprocated.—New York Dramatic Mirror. Less Grime, Plogee The underworld is usurping too strong a place on the picture screen. There is no excuse in the conditions of actual life for bestowing so prominent a position in the photoplay world on the sordid struggles of social outcasts. There is too much of sorrow in the lives of many of us to magnify a pessimistic view of the world by an overabundance of wrong and misery on the screen. "Less crime, please," should be the request of many manufacturers to their authors. An occasional feature picture treated by a careful hand, like an occasional reading of Poe, may well serve its purpose, but the regular run of pictures should seek a closer relation to the ordinary stations of life. Step up a notch in the scale and shake the acquaintance of social lepers. Honest, we could manage to squeeze through this existence without an introduction to Gyp, the Plug, Second Story Steve, or even Dress-Suit Baffles. We'd much rather improve our acquaintance with John Jones, Sally Smith and Bill Brown.—Dramatic Mirror. To Feature Baggot Broughton Brandenburg has contracted for the photoplay rights to his well-known series of detective stories, telling of the adventures of Lawrence Rand, and King Baggot, player and director, will be featured as the detective. "The House of Doors," the first of the series to be published, appeared ten years ago in the Metropolitan Magazine. That story has been reprinted eight times in America, and its sequel, "The Mystery of the Steel Disc," was chosen by Collier's as the best detective story ever written in America. In book form over eight hundred thousand copies are out. There are 40 stories in the series. Haa His Own Company Harry Carey is among the most experienced and better known of motion picture actors, having appeared for years with prominent companies. He is well remembered by his good work in many pictures and is now heading his own company and producing "The Master Cracksman." WILL NOT SOON LOSE FAVOR No Reason Why Motion Pictures Should Not, for a Long Time to Come, Continue Popular. The search for the limitations of the motion picture and placing of a date for the expiration of its hold on the public, are now among the most popular indoor sports. That the picture, as an art, has its limitations is certain, but we have never been able to see where those binding cords were any less elastic than those of the spoken drama or of the printed story. "Action" is a prime necessity of all three forms; when that movement is lacking, sad the story becomes a character study, either of a people or an individual, the balance must be evened up by the player's unusually good work or the artistic handling of the subject. Many a novelist has placed his reliance on his skill with the pen and won out, but many more have found that their weaving of fine sentences could not hide the fact that the story was wanting. Many a playwright and actor have pinned their faith to the strong lines in a piece, to "that delicate medium of expression, the human voice," and have scored, but many more have found that their skill could not make up for the loss of plot complication. Wherein are the limitations of the motion picture, if perhaps less wide in their scope, any different in principle? ACTRESS CAPABLE OF IDEAS Maude Fealy See Many Possibilities In the Popularity of the Moving Pictures. Maude Fealy is an actress whose conversation radiates interesting ideas. Here are a few words from the lips of the star: "To be a moving picture artist, only half of the requisites are required, because diction and voice are lost by the screen actor. I think pictures will bring back one-act plays. Pictures teach us brevity, that is, good pictures do." A. For near ly a year Maude Fealy has been appearing in feature pictures, and during Maude Fealy. ing in feature pictures, and during that time in addition to her picture work has also been responsible for numerous scenarios. She photographs well, and has brought to bear her varied experience as a dramatic star all of which has contributed to her success on the screen. Actress Also Artistic Dancer. ACAUSE THE ARTIST DANCER Miss Ruth Stonehouse, screen star, excels in artistic dancing as well as in motion picture acting. She was recently invited to participate in the inauguration of motion pictures in a Denver theater, which has hitherto been devoted to vaudeville exclusively, and was requested to entertain the guests and theater patrons with her artistic dancing at the opening. Miss Stonehouse, whose former home was in Denver, gladly accepted the invitation. She will remain in Colorado about two weeks. Before she entered in the "movies," she was considered one of the best dancers in Chicago. George Ade to the Rescue One of the rarest things in motion pictures is a real comedy. Many alleged humorous pictures are produced, but it is an unfortunate fact that most of them consist of cheap and sometimes coarse slapstick stuff in which there is a marked absence of anything witty. Once in a long time a company stumbles on something really funny, but with the exception of the Keystone pictures, a consistent series of good comedies has never been produced. Accordingly there was rejoicing at the announcement that George Ade would write three series of comedies for the screen. Would Have Made Good Picture. Judging from accounts in the Los Angeles papers, Marguerite Loveridge is not exactly lacking in pluck. When she and her sister discovered a burglar in the house Marguerite seized a revolver and, crawling to the door of the room where the crook was prowling about, took a pot shot at him. Of course, she didn't score a bull's-eye, but nevertheless the thief tumbled backward out of the window with an alacrity calculated to fill the best of "heavies" with envy. Too bad there was no picture taken of the incident. Stevenson's Novel for Filma. London was startled the other day by the appearance in Fleet street and the Strand of an eccentricly attired young man who distributed souvenirs on his journey. Although the public has nearly begun to regard every little street sensation as arranged intentionally for the pictures, it took the bystanders some time to discover that the youth was only impersonating a member of the "Suicide Club." This novel by Robert Louis Stevenson is being filmed. Both Author and Star. "In Tune With the Wild," by Kathy Lynn Williams, and with Miss Williams as star, is a forthcoming release. The noted screen star is writing a story of the play which will be published in novel form. METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS. ILL. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS That the South is the best place for the negro and that education ought to prove his salvation were two of the points made by Robert R. Moton, commandant of cadets at Hampton institute, in a recent address. "Thoughtful negroes as well as thoughtful white men," he said, "are agreed that the South offers the largest opportunity for the masses of the colored people. It is fair to assume, then. "That, for the present at least, the South cannot depend on foreign immigrants for its farm operatives, its domestic and personal service, or its miskilled and semi-skilled labor; "That it must depend on the negro for the present and also the very distant future to recruit the ranks of this form of labor; "That, if the negro is to constitute the mass of industrial operatives of the South, it is imperative for the common good that there should be sympathetic co-operation with the white workers engaged in similar forms of industry; "That every effort should be exerted on the part of the South to make these laborers, black and white, more reliable, more skilful and more efficient; that the laborer can be kept efficient and skillful only as his environment is wholesome and strengthening and not weakening and demoralizing; "That it is the duty of every patriotic southerner to use every possible means for the practical, sympathetic training of these workers and their children through a thorough, well-regulated school system. "It is frequently asserted by careless and thoughtless speakers and writers that all negroes are lazy, shiftless and inefficient; but in practically every district where negroes are employed, whether as farm laborers or as mechanical laborers, the verdict is that a large majority of negro workers are reliable, many of them are skilful and very efficient, and not a few are almost indispensable. There are very few places in the South where the employer would be willing to dispense with the services of his negro employees." The speaker gave a hint of the means which must be employed to keep these workers faithful and efficient. "No leader, either black or white," he remarked, "can give skillful, efficient, conscientious service when he is surrounded day and night by all that tends to lower his health, distort his mind, weaken his morals, embitter his spirit and shake his faith in his fellow men." Major Moton was led to emphasize the very great necessity of education for the negro. "There has been much criticism," he said, "and some fun and ridicule made at the expense of the educated negroes by, perhaps, well meaning people. But, after all is said and done, the most successful and the most reliable and the most influential element in the negro race, as in every race, is the educated class—the men and women who have done most to cement cordial and sympathetic relations between the races; who have had the greatest influence for caution and conservatism upon the reckless and radical negroes; who have been most patient and most persistent in their efforts to fit the whole negro race for freedom and citizenship, in their broadest and most perfect sense, by practical Christian education and sane, wholesome advice." Kindergartens for colored children are being adopted in different parts of the South as one of the agencies for improving social conditions that have troubled two generations. Richmond, Va., has lately opened an experimental kindergarten which has already created such interest among negro parents and the school authorities that it is expected it will soon be made permanent. The Richmond kindergarten was opened by the National Kindergarten Association of New York at the request of Richmond people who knew of the success of the demonstration given among the colored children at Chattanooga, Tenn., where the local association assumed the care and support of the school on March 1. The largest motor vessel in the world is the Siam, recently built at Copenhagen, with a displacement of 13,200 tons. The first telephone is said to have attracted little attention until Dom Pedro picked it up and expressed his delight at it. Canadian farmers are gradually discarding the heavy fence rails which have surrounded their properties for decades, and are erecting serviceable wire field fencing with attractive entrance gates. Jack pine trees planted ten years ago in the sand hills of Nebraska are now large enough to produce fence posts. The new wireless station at Fort Myer, near Washington, D. C., has a range of more than 5,000 miles Boley, Okla., was founded by John C. Leftwich, and other influential colored men, nine years ago. It is the youngest, but also the largest, exclusive negro and Indian town in the world. In the open forest, remote from civilization, a handful of red and black men, who held that voluntary segregation was the only solution of certain vexed race problems, set about proving their theory in a practical way. The city has grown to 8,000 population. There are churches, schools and stores, but there is not a white person in town or in the surrounding country. There are hotels where visiting whites may stop, but none will be allowed to purchase land or remain as citizens. The community has kept pace with the town, as something over two thousand Indian and negro farmers are cultivating the soil. Boloy has a model city government under control of the black race. The citizens are peaceable and thrifty. It may be said, to the credit of these black and Indian people, that no sooons, poolrooms, or houses of questionable character, exist in their remarkable little city. Loafers and disturbers are made to move on. Cotton-gins, sawmills, lumber yards and many factories are among enterprises established, besides 150 colored merchants. The trade to the city comes exclusively from Indian and negro people. The leading citizens are boosting the town to 25,000 population. Among the essential materials that help the town are churches of five different faiths. The "submerged" part of the black race is a heavy incubus upon its educated, prosperous members, asserts Mrs. L. H. Hammond in her book, "In Black and White. "As fast as they enter this class they withdraw into a world of their own, a world which lies all about us white folks, yet of whose existence we are scarcely aware. It is largely the inefficients, the failures or the immature and untrained who remain with us." It will not do to dismiss the wretched condition of negroes in hovels with a shoulder shrug and a complacent "They like what they've got; they're made that way." It may be true, but there is truth beyond that truth. Mrs. Hammond urges legal condemnation of these unsanitary settlements, to be replaced (agency unnamed) by decently habitable quarters; maintenance of which could, for one thing, be helped by proper methods of rent collection. She urges also an "experiment station" in negro housing, and thinks an ordinary city block, though one-third of it were to be given over to playground and other "community" uses, would give satisfactory returns from the rental of "decent little houses" covering the other two-thirds. She wishes the poorer negroes in the cities could be turned back to the land; "not because they are negroes," but because country life is so desirable a haven of refuge for those who are unable to go along in the towns. She does not tell just how they are to be got there, and just what they are to do when they get there. China has been hit hard by the increased cost of living. The price of rice has jumped 50 per cent since 1911—due partly to the famine and more to the destruction of crops during the fighting on the Yangtse. Not to be outdone by the new coins of the United States, the Bulgarian government has commissioned an Austrian factory to coin a variety of pieces, 20, 10 and 5 stotinks. One hundred stotings equal 19.3 cents. Charles Frederick Holder, in "Travel," describes a little-known region of California as "The Garden of Titans." The Colorado "Garden of the Gods," he asserts, sinks into insignificance beside the new wonderland. Trees for beautifying school grounds are furnished free to rural schools in California by the Chico State Normal school. Chico will also send, on request, a man to lay out school gardees in rural communities. The word milliner is a corruption of Milaner, from Milan, the city which once established the hat styles for the world. Aluminum-soled shoes are made for laborers compelled to work on damp ground or wet floors. They have leather tops. A smoking tree is one of the natural wonders of Ono, Japan. Strange to say, it smokes only in the evening, just after sunset, and the smoke issues from the top of the trunk. Some English firemen have electric lamps mounted on their helmets backed by reflectors, which project a powerful ray in front of them. Verhoyansek, in northeastern Siberia, is the coldest inhabited town in the world. The winter maximum is 85 degrees below zero.

They are "THE MOST PFRFECT REPEATERS." NOT A PROMISING MARKET Seasickness Probably Responsible for Actor's Disposition of Cargo of Potatoes. The late William H. Smith of managerial fame and Charley Backus of minstrel fame many years ago embarked from San Francisco for Australia on a business venture. The captain of the boat, who was an intimate friend of each, suggested that the voyagers lay in a cargo of potatoes to dispose of on their arrival there. The "Murphys" were accordingly purchased and placed on board. Now, Mr. Backuk was always recognized as a great comedian, but with the deck of a ship instead of a stage as his rostrum he wasn't so funny. In short, Mr. Backus was seasick. Mr. Smith proved an excellent sailor, and while Backus was stretched out on a chair Smith said, "Charley, in case you die, what shall I do with those potatoes?" And Poor Backus, who thought he was dying, said: "Go to hades with them." UNSIGHTLY PIMPLES ON FACE New Sharon, Iowa.—"Two or three years ago pimples began to come on my face and I had dandruff. The pimples made a very unsightly appearance. They were red and numerous, some came to a head and festered and the itching caused me to scratch them. The dandruff on my head could be plainly seen. "I tried several remedies but they only temporarily relieved me. I had been bothered with the trouble two or three years when I decided to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. So I sent for a free sample and I noticed relief from them, and I bought more. I used two cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and am now free from pimples and dandruff."

NEW EXPERIENCE FOR BARBER Firet Time He Had Shaved Man Whose Face Had an Equal Growth of Hair. Capt. W. V.

Fastidious Pet. The members of an automobile tour tng party from Washington to Balti more stopped for the night at a certain caravansary at Hagerstown, in Mary. land. Since the food supplied them was execrable and since thelr kit fur nished the necessary tmplements, aside from the raw material, they de termined to have a Welsh rabbit. Ac: cordingly two were deputed to proceed to a corner grocery, there to obtain the cheese and crackers. When the old chap that kept the place came for ward one of the two said: “We want a couple of pounds of cheese and some large, square crack ers for a Welsh rabbit.” The old man seemed doubtful. “1 got the cheese, all right," sald be, “but I ain't got no large, square crackers. Won't your rabbit eat the small ones?” —Harper’s Magazine, Cultured Tramp. There came to the kitchen door of a certain household in Philadelphia a ragged hobo, who took his stand against the doorjamb and gazed long: ingly at food displayed on the kitchen table. “You look strong,” suggested the jady of the house, “Are you equal to the task of sawing and splitting half o cord of wood?” “Equal to it, madam?” said the tramp, with a courtly bow. “The ex pression is inadequate.

YIELDS UP THE GHOST. Prof. Jefferson Davis Alston, of Metropolis, tells us we believe from the best information that we can glean from his artiste under the caption, "I have fought a good fight, I have kept the faith, and now am willing to submit for the progress of the State " That he is down and out of trying to operate further his Lincoln Manual Training School. In his paper The Christian Anchor of Aug. 15, he gives varied reasons why he should turn his efforts over to the State of Ill., carry them on to success. The Prof. has striven hard to make this a success in the Industrial school but in this as in the Cuba Libre Industrial School he has failed, because he could not convince the people to see as he did. We have been informed that he will remove The Anchor to Mt. Vernon Ill., and begin life over and devote his time to the publication of said paper. In the event that he does, The Gazette wishes him the greatest success in his new field of journalism. Trustees of the Livingston Normal, Theological and Industrial Institute. J. H. Knowles, D.
