QVMM.,3 r 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. Anbut's Conviction. Affrmed ALBANY, Nov. 18.-Tho conviction of John N. Anhut of attempting to bribe r. John W. Russell, former superin tendent ot the State Hospital for the nsana at Matteawan, to bring about he releaso of Harry K.

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 pjay, mat mey were none too careiui about getting every one of the peanuts in the fire. Some way, one little peanut got dropped out of the bag into the sand -riot much wonder that! IU felt very badly about it. though, That is. he did for a little while. Then tile children came back and he gp't trampled down into the sand so far, that he couldn't think of anvthino- t much except that he I u t0 t.he ,ighJ I For days he tried 5 f !

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. Bryan Goes to Florida WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. After ten day:) spent at the State Department, Secretary Bryan has left Washington fo.' his u Inter homo at Miami, Fla. He will remain there a week. The Secretary said he would make no speech during his. trip. 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! Tomorroto-r-A. Jtainy Day Play in "Pretend" Land. Copyright, 10 li, Clara Ingram JutUon.

Any owner who wlBhes to buy a property and occupy It as a home will have no trouble In getting a building society to make a reasonable loan, , Money rates on mortgages are un changed. Borrowers seem perfectly will ing to pay 5 4-10 per cent, and In &ome cases 6 per cent, for Email loans. L.ESSOH. JIODKltN DANCING GEORGE R. H.
