Of the 75 cases last week at the liiospital, four were gunshot wounds A-nflvc.nl with blank cartridges, four- ■ iccldents such as broken Begs, sprained wrists and saber cuts. ■ Few people realize the great num- er of accidents that occur around I,, studio when directors are realty out |for the "punch” in a picture. This f[f ird serves to illustrate the great Lazards taken. Misfortune upon misfortune has i.eset the director In the Powers pro duction of the remarkable Roman pi 'lure, "Into the Lions' Pit.” Phy- cians attending Ethel Davis, who Iwas accidentally Injured when she [was thrown into a lions’ pit, thirteen et deep, have reported that the oung lady Is more seriously Injured than was at first supposed. Mnse. one of the largest lions In ptivity and acquired for this pro- iduction, has gone on the rampage. ]; was supposed that the competent i trainers could handle him as ■y hare handled other untamed ( ists. However, this was not the When two trainers began to Muse in shape for the produc- n. he broke all bars and bonds and ji.ucked them. Henry Sanders, the l' f trainer, was knocked senseless the assistant trainer only saved life by firing a blank cartridge |into the animal's mouth. It is now lieved that it will take fully two f eks of careful handling to get dose into an amiable mood.

There was the pop ping of guns and cheers as the couple were heralded down the street, until the locality presented the aspect of an insurrecto proceeding Warren Kerrigan In Irish Romance Motion Pictures Defended By GEORGE R. ALLISON. “n i5 POWERS SCREEtt PLAY Boy Becomes Victim of “Harm less” Drink Manufactured by His Father. This photoplay which deals with a timely subject is not merely enter taining, but is intended to accom plish something in the uplift of hu manity, In the regeneration of socie ty. You have heard considerable about the evils of some soft drinks. Edwin August, the producer, has made this subject the theme of his play. He is shown in a new role, that of a fa ther who Is crushed with the un changeable moral that “crime, like a chicken, comes home to roost.” The story, gripping in its heart Interest, vividly shows one of the great evils ALAMO N» 2 “The House With the Clean Policy” Tomorrow-Monday that has an insidious hold upon so ciety. Dave Harding, as played by Mr. August, is a millionaire manufacturer of soft drinks. Hig gon. Frank, ig en gaged to Eileen. Frank becomes ad dieted to liquor and wild company. Harding finally manages to wean the boy away from this habit and rein states him in his affections and his sweetheart’s love. Believing that the soft drink man ufactured by his father is harmless, Frank makes a specialty, in a short time, of drinking it. The drink con tains an insidious drug and Frank becomes a slave to It before his fa ther realizes. The father suffers the pangs of the damned when he finds that hig boy is In mortal danger as a result of his own concoction. An operation Is necessary. In the mean time the pure-food authorities Inves tigate the father’s product, and pro hibit Its manufacture. Harding, in remorse, closes down his factory and gives his Ill-gotten gains to ehwity. The operation on his son is a success and he is cured of the habit. Two of the greatest watchwords surrounding the v successful net^apaper of to-day are honesty and justice in their every expression of approval, or criticism which may emanate from its sacred circles, be they editorial or otherwise. The average newspaper living daily, figuratively speaking, with the masses and classes, most particularly is weighted with an unbounded duty to live up to the traditions of these im pressive words, so let us view the matter in an impartial light, with a purely unbiased mind, and endeavor I to firmly fix the personal benefits to be derived from visiting a motion pic ture show. Even a prejudiced mind must con cede that a visit there adds to the intelligence of the patron, be they adult, student or child: they practi cally receive a lecturette, in a pleas ing manner, sometimes carrying them on long travel through distant and historical lands, and their attention is riveted on the scenes as they unfold themselves, a reading of which would probably be glanced over hurriedly within the covers of a book, while the student was probably detained within the close confines of a heavily air laden schoolroom. Mind you, we are for school studies, honestly and religiously pursued, but our renowned surgeons and recip ients of degrees in all honored pro fessions have never faltered or balked at a post-graduate course, so why tear from the students, and endeavor to destroy the structure created which does in lifelike manner indelibly im press upon his every mental faculty the actual scenes of life hovering about the commercial or scientific world, or historical times, so that he may be deprived of drinking in all the illustrative points, an augmentation to hl» curriculum which he may beat the moment deeply engaged in. It is not true that “semi-darkness” caters to the entrance fees of the motion picture habitues and without a hint of law, or municipal observation, ev- ! ery manager has long since recog- , nized the responsibility of personal direction, and be it only by the addi tion of a 16-candlepower light, they have made every presumably dark comer as bright as the daylight out side, for motography has reached the zenith in the projection of iLs film subjects and no longer requires dark ness, excepting within a radius of feet too infinitesimal to be of any consequence, and the “masher” of to day is an obsolete and unknown fac- | tor and has been for some time back. Crime—we will always have with us, but nowadays it seems the proper course to blame the motion picture for most anything. Just because a mental incapacity has been displayed Dy one who has erred, why embellish the fact that he had once, was now in, ' or had just left a motion picture; if his mind was troubled or head bowed In grief, isn’t it the most natural thing to imagine that he would seek the solace of this light entertainment, and of the music, to drown his sor rows? Of course, he truly realized they I only serve to intensify his sadness, for sorrows will swim “like ducks in a frog pond.” If we must go to extremes, why not particularly specify his last stop ping point as some other entertain ment, great or small, or oven that he had been looking upon, and quaffing the liquid that entangles and destroys.
