MOVIE STABS' BALL
TO BE HELD IN THIS
CITY OH DECEMBER 8
Horticultural Hall to Be
Scene of Third Annual
Dance Move to Increase
Price of Admissions.
Havo you ever expressed n desire to
aeo "In the fleh" your favorite movie
Rctor or actress? If you have, then
your wish will be granted December 8,
when the Exhibitors' League of Philadel
phia will give Its third annual bait In
Horticultural Hall, It Is Intended that
ths shall outvie all previous occasions,
both In attendance and tho presance of
a galaxy of motion picture stars. Large
delegations from tho Vltagraph organiz
ation, Famous Players Company and all
Lublnvllto havo promised their assist
ance. After a closely contested election
among all photoplaycrs as to who should
lead tho grand march It waa finally de
cided that tho honors Bhould fall to Rose
mary Theby and Itomalne Fielding. Tho
ball Is In charge ot a special committee.
Including Jay Emanuel, of the Hldge Avc
nuo Theatre, as chairman, and Messrs
Walsh, Spiers, Pollon, Hopkins, Fisher
and Cropper.
HICJHrcn ADMISSIONS COMING?
Carl Laemmle, president of the Univer
sal Film Company, Is advocating an In
crease of admission to movlo theatres.
In discussing this proposition, he said:
I advocate a more-than-llve-cent ad
mission price not because I am money
mad, but because I know that tho ex
hibitor's show Is going to cost him
more than It haa formerly done, and
I bcllove that his patrons should shnro
this extra expense with him. Unless
the price Is raised the exhibitor can't
afford a ahow that will be worth while.
The publlo wants better pictures, not
Worso ones, and as the live-cent ex
hibitor won't bo able to afford the
better ones, why, his patrons will go
to a ten-cent house, where thoy can
eeo good ones. The unceasing pres
sure from the public compels the ex
penditure of great sums of money
where small sums sufficed a few years
age. Scenarios havo been sold for
outlandish prices thousands of dol
lars In some cases. Famous authors
whoso works are now sought by film
concerns scorn what would have been
considered a big price two years ago.
Where we used to bo able to use
painted scenery and props through
out an entire picture some time ago,
wo now have to use tho real thing.
This must either bo built at a tre
mendous cost or else the stage director
and his company of actors must travel
to some distant corner of the globe to
get the required settings.
We are right now serlouwly con
sidering a proposition which will cost
us $2500 a week for Just one scenario,
this plan to run for 62 weeks! Fifty
two scenarios at $2500 each! Think
of It!
NEW PRODUCTIONS.
Marguerite Clark will be the first
Famous Players star to appear In a sub
ject produced at the Western etudio,
plans for her presentation in "The
Pretty: Sister of Jose" having already
'been consummated.
The Lublti Company Is now staging a
big production of George Ade's "The Col
lege Widow," which will feature Ethel
Clayton and George Soul Spencer. Ex
tremely Interesting will be the football
game, played with all the vigor of the real
'battle between rival colleges. Many ex
pert players have been engaged for the
tut, who will permit themselves to bo
gouged and done up In realistic style.

CHILDREN'S CORNER
The Peanut Vine
"NE day in the pleasant summer,
f three little children nlanned a
each party. They took sandwiches
and cookies, cake and pickles and all
tne good things that make picnics
such fun.
But when they were about ready to
start, the oldest little Eirl said. ''Oh.
mother, we haven't anything to cook!"
I "To cook!" exclaimed mother. "Did
you want to cook something?"
"Of course, we dol" exclaimed all
the children. "It wouldn't be a beach
party without cooking something.
Let us take same potatoes to roast.'
"That wouldn't be much fun," said
mother, thoughtfully, "potatoes take
so, long "to roast and then you always
ge Jhe ashes inside when you try to
eat them. Why don't you take pea
nuts r
"Peanuts 1" cried the children in
surprise, "peanuts are already roast
ed 1"
Their mother laughed. "Perhaps
the kind you buy are. but the kind I
rrnean are notl"
She went with them to the store ana
bought a great bag full of fresh un
roasted peanuts. "There you are!"
she announced laughingly, "roast
those all you please or as little as you
wish and still no harm will be donel"
The children set out gaily for the
beach.
I They gathered the woqd, they built
inc. pre. Ana wuen me asnes were
hot, they buried the peanuts in among
them for roastinir.
I Then they went off for a play.
E But so great was their hurry for

about getting every one of the peanuts
in the fire.

LAND CASE VERDICT
IMPORTANT TO CITY
Oil Company's Suit Involved Pas3
yunk Avenue Bridge Opening.
After a trial lasting nearly all of last
week, a prominent land damage case
canio to a close yesterdny afternoon In
Court of Common Pleas No. K beCorc
Judge Carr.
Tho case Involved the opening of the
Passyunk avenue brldga by tho city
through the property of tho Atlantic Re
fining Company, on a tract of 8 acres
on tho west bank of the Schuylkill river.
The bridge nnd avenue required a pleco
of land 132 feet wide through the prop
erty, taking 3.73 acres, two storage tanks,
and separated a third from tho field of
eight tanks at C3d street.
Tho remaining land was also separated
and trlungulatcd, Tho grade of bridge
and avenuo was 30 feet abovo a street
surface at the west bank of river, run
ning down to 13 feet at tho western end
of property.
The owners claimed tho bridge was not
needed for tho best use of the property,
with a wharf of 1200 feet, where yearly
millions of dollars' worth of crude oil was
refined nnd put on vessels for export.
Six well known real estate experts
were called who testified to a damage of
from $116,000 to $129,000.
Tho city claimed, notwithstanding the
land taken, tho grade of tho bridge, and
the tanks destroyed, there was u benefit
to tho property. Inasmuch as It was now
directly connected with the city proper
and was more available for Its best use.
Nlni teal estate experts were put on
the stand by the city and testified that
after the opening of the bridge tho prop
erty of the Atlantic Refining Company
was 'benefited. The amounts ranged from
$7500 to JM.O00.
The nctlon was brought as of July, IMS.
The jury brought In a verdict In favor of
tho city of no damage. Benefits under
tho law could not be awarded. It Is be
lieved tho Atlantic Refining Company will
not argue for a new trial.

Secretary Bryan has left Washington

will remain there a week. The Secretary
said he would make no speech during his.

Then one day, cold winds came and
they said to the little peanut vine,
"You can't grow any more! We're
coining! Wr?ll soon freeze you up!"
"Never mind," replied the little pea
nut vine, sturdily, "somebody'll take
care of me!"
And they didl For, would you be
lieve it, that very day, a little girl
went walking on the beach. And as
she walked, she spied the peanut vine.
She dug it up and took it home and
planted it in a pot in lier window gar
den. And there it grew all winter
long.
"I'm not very big," the vine would
say to himself, "but I'm happy that's
something!" And indeed it is!

that tho trust companies will be more)

wlBhes to buy a property and occupy It

Money rates on mortgages are un
