J frank Urdckllss, European rcpre
tentative ot the Lubln Compn.it and
a Widely known authority on film tondl
tlorifr abroad, has Arrived In this coun
try1 toe a brief visit. Asked concernlnK
flint conditions nbrond, Mr. IJrockllss raid:
Tho vrnr, naturally; hit everything
otj t'no other nUte hnril. In France
cinematograph business Is virtually
nit becauce or the war. When I wns
in Tails recently the general nir o'
badness prevented one from even
thinking of cinematographs or uiiy
other amusement. In Belgium, which
lifts always been a good Held, business
Is dead. Russia has nlvvajs been a
difficult country to handle, because of
Its great distance from London and
the. Russian method of doing business
with long-extended bills, which ate
hard to Collect Wc did it good busi
ness there with Lubln films before the
vrnr. but when war was declared busi
ness was cut down. At present, how
ever, It la beginning to pick Up agnln.
I can tell jou tittle nbout Oer-
many or Austria,, for all our business
there was curbrf short, and I lost
qUlto a lot of money by It. I am doing
business In Spain. In Scandinavia
business Is possible, but transpoitatlon
of fllms Is dinicult. Swltzciland Is In
about the same class with Spain
Business with Italy Is dead. The los.i
of parcels In transportation rendets
tho shipment of tllms Impossible
China is beginning to use the Lubln
pictures, and In Japan and India busi
ness is about the bbiiic.
Conditions In England are different
from thoso on the continent. Our
motto at home Is "Business ns usual,"
and, owing to tho fact that t have
been one of the upholders of that
policy since the Europcnn conflagra
tion began, my aim has been to keep
my usual weekly turnover, cot what
It 'will. I am glad to say that the
amount of Mlm I am selling now com
pares very favorably ivltli what
I sold last year at this tlm, and this
In splto of tho war.
For Instance, tho total of my sales
for the Lubln Company this month
amounts to an average for Great
Britain and the colonies of Just over
100.000 feet every week, and please
beat' in mind this docs not include
Australia, which Is a good Held, but
is excluded from t'nese tlgurcs, as
Lubln films are despatched lo Aus
tralia directly from Philadelphia.
The BUbJccta which hae the great
est success In Great Britain are fllms
ot especially sensational character.
The greater the sensation tho greater
tho sale in the open market.
Richard Carle Has Camera Troubles
That the terrors of tho "tlrst-nlght"
have nothing on horrors of a debut befoie
the motion picture camera, was lli- opin
ion expressed by Richard Carle, the come
dian, following his Initial appearance in
tha-TVodd Comedy Stars Film Corpora
tion plcwres.
"Things ran smoothly," tells tho star,
"until it came around to my llrst en
trants. All my life I have been used to
dashing blithely out on a lighted stage
and being greeted by a more or less en
thusiastic audience. My cue came and t
entered. Such an entrance it was! There
stood a few men In shirt sleeves, coldly
writing things on pieces of paper and cal
culating distances as If they were n party
of engineers. The broad daylight was

CHILDREN'S CORNER
THE PET KITTEN PLAYS UMPIRE
AFLUnnV of cold and snow covered
XJ-thQ ground with while, nnd made
breakfast getting a serious rroblem to
Tommy Sparrow. Not but what he was
used to pr,oblems-any sparrow who
ependsi the. winter In the North Is used to
most everything but Tommy was moie
than usually hungry this morning, and
there seemed not 'one thing to eat.
"Let's: see," he said to himself, "Is
there any place else I can look7 I've
searched around the front porch every
body seems to be asleep this morning,
for there wasn't a crumb put out for me
and I've hunted around tho back steps.
I have flQwn. over and over the yard nnd
looked around the garbage can. Now
where else could there be anything;"
Tommy looked across the fresh white
snow In disgust. "The people that make
such a fuss about beautiful snow never
had to hunt for food in It, that's plain tn
see." Then, because he had. to do some
thing even if, there was no hope of suc
cess, lie started for the garbage can
agajn. I'll Just look once more to be
sure," he eald to himself, and away he
flew.
And there, right down close by the can,
what should he find but a crust of bread.
Of course. It was hard as a rock and
pretty sooty, but hungry Tommy Sparrow
thought it the finest 'dainty he had seen
that day. No matter about the hardness
and the dirt, it was food. Peck-able,
bore-able, eat-able food, and he set to
work at It with a vim.
ttbw you're not to suppose that Tommy
Sparrow was the only sparrow In that
whole city who could llnd no breakfast on
this particular snowy morning for he
wasn't. Many and many another little

When the scene closed at last. I sank
down exhausted, feeling much worse limn
after the most grueling 'llrst night' I
have ever experienced."
The Eye of (he Jaw
Inspector Kaurot, the 'nead nf the
llerttllon system In the Police Depart"
metit, on a recent visit to the studio of the
Vltagiaph Oompan, saw a man stand
ing outside of the general odlces of the
company whose face appeared familiar
In him. Now, the Inspector has schooled
himself to remember faces, but prin
cipally thoso of crooks.
During his talk with .1. Stuart Black
ton the Inspector referred to the man.
Inquiring as to his connection with tho
Vitngrnph Company.
Uh, he's been with us for several
onri." icmarked Mr. Blacklon.
The Inspector seemed Unconvinced, but
ref mined from making nny further com
ment. It wasn't until ho was leaving
that Inspector Kaurot showed t'rial the
matter hadn't been forgotten
"I've got it," ho eclalmcd. "I saw
that man plav the part of a crook In
a picture sevetal months nso. and I
never forjet n face once It has been Im
pressed on me "

The Indefatigable Choral Society of
Philadelphia sang last night, at the Acad
emy, Mendclssohn'H oratorio, "Elijah."
Although tho neatly printed program
falls to disclose the number of times tho
oratorio lias been Bung by the society,
one fancies that that number Is large, to
Judgo by the facility and comfort with
which the chorus, the solo singers and
the conductor addreescd themselves ,to
their work. Henry Gordon Thunder, con
ducting as he has for years past, welded
the many mingled voices Into a fine dra
matic unity and held his orchestral ac
companiment to a fine tone In relation
to his principal singers.
Among the latter Herbert Wltherspoon
was properly featured, but it -would be
unjust to pass without comment the tine
winging of Helen Frame Hcaton and
Margaret B. Ashby, sopranos; Elsie
Baker, contralto, and Nicholas Douty.
tenor. In their individual nnd In their
concerted numbers they were distinctly
pleasing to the critical sense. Mr. Wlth
erspoon. unforgotten, though unheard
heic these many months, was powerful
of voice and Impressive In characteriza
tion. To him fell tho great moment or
the uiatoilo, the fine, free sarcasm of
Elijah inviting the priests of Baal to
bird found himself in exactly the same
fix: so, of course, all the hungry little
fellows were watching for food. Just as
Tommy was. How he had the good luck
to find the only crust In sight he never
knew. Certain It was that he didn't have
it long till the others tsavv him eating and
flew down to see what he had.
"Oh, look." shouted the first one to
come; "Tommy's found a crust! Let's
make him divide It!"
"Tommy Sparrow! You know me'"
chirped another, "you know me! Glvo me
a yeck'"
"You get away!" answered Tommy
saucily, "I found this crust myself! If jou
are hungry go find one of your own!"
And he spread hln wings and looked as
fierce us he could which was pretty fierce
and warlike, he thought.
But the other sparrows were not one bit
Impressed. They Just stepped up to him
as though lie hadn't said one word and
prepared to take his own precious crust.
"Didn't jou hear what I said?" he
asked, "I fcald "get away!' and I meant
It!' He ruffled up his feathers and pitched
In to the nearest bird. Such a fight it It
was The other sparrows saw that piinmy
meant business, so they kept a respectful
distance and watched the fight. Faster
and faster those birds whirled round and
round. At each other's throat, neck and
breast It seemed as though they would
never stOD.
But stop they did and quickly, too
when they saw up on the b-uk fence n
little kitten. He watched the ilghtnrs a
bit, then he said, "'nough!" and darted
down toward them. The birds saw lilni
coming and flew away, JUST In time! No
body wanted the crust enough to risk be
ing caught by Mr. Kitten!

Change in Orchestra Program
A slight change has been made In the
Program of tho concert which the Phila
delphia Oichcstra, will give this after
noon and tomonow evening at the Acad
emy of Music. Mr. Stokowskl lias sub
stituted thn Wonderful scherzo, "L'Ap
prentl Sorclci," by Paul Uukas, in place
of Beethoven's overture, "Leonore" No
3, as the clewing number. To preserve
the honioqcnooufi character of theprogtain
Mr Stokowskl lias deemed this chalun
advisable, In view of the fact that .lue
Hnfmami, who will bo the ROlolst, h
decided to play Rubinstein's concerto N

"Emperor" concerto.
