Slawly, but nono the less surely, tho
educational film is crceplni? Into tire pro
Brum of Almost nil motion picture com
pan Its. The executives of these orsnnlza
tlons lire comlnu to realize thnt the tnste
of motion picture audiences Is Improving
and the necessity of dropping the slap
stick comedy and melodrama has become
all the more apparent.
For1 years we have recognized the vnluo
nf visual Instruction, which, In Its Ideal
state, Is nothing more or less than educa
tional films. This visual instruction has
become the basis of kindergarten work,
practically all tho text bool.s nro Illus
trated; constantly we use charts, maps,
specimens and photographs. Besides all
this there are continual excursions for
science, classeB going to the factory,
harbor or farm, to the great dramas, to
the museums, and so on.
Hut with tho motion picture tho stu
dents will not be compelled to leave tho
work of the class room to make excur
sions to these various places, much as thn
break In the monotony may be welcomed
by them. AH the lectures and scientific
investigations mtiy be carried on In the
class roonm and under comfortnblo and
healthful surroundings.
Through the educational film this nge
gives us the benefit of mi agency that can
reproduce the minutest detail: that can
patiently watch and record tho develop
ment of a plant from tho time tho Becd
Is put In the ground to the opening of tho
blossom, and can reproduce It In a few
minutes! that with Us lightning glance
can record the course of a bullet and
show It to us on the screen ns It swiftly
Winds and twists Itself along. Through
Its agency wo con nee the greatest
dramas, can follow tho movements of tho
most complicated machine, can observe,
the movements of the planets through the
world's grcntest telescopes, can study
micro-organisms, can take trips to quaint
foreign countries where are unfolded to
our gnze splendors of scenery nnd pecu
liar habits of tho people, con follow the
course of some of our staple foodsturrs
from tho raw product to our table.
Educational authorities, too, are coming
to realize the Importance or the educa
tional film In shaping the minds of tho
young. There Is an old Latin proverb.
often quoted, which roads: "Longum Iter
est per prccepta, breve et eltlcax per ex
empla." In ordinary language th 3
means; "To drlvo a thing Into a fellows
head through rules and regulations li
hard, but It is comparatively easy and
efficient through examples." The motion
picture furnishes the example, and has
been tried and not found wanting.
Just now, In California, there I a move
ment among educational and allied Insti
tutions to feature the motion picture as
an hid to Instruction In the public schools
of the Stnte under the supervision of tho
State Board of Education, making on ap
propriation therefor. These features am
embodied In the Carr-Fisli bill which wan
Introduced in the T,cgl'lnture of that Stnt
on January :8, 1315. This movement gives
evidence of becoming nntlon-ftlde and al
ready Its Influence Is being felt In film
circles.

Definite arrangements have been made
to present, under tho auspices of the
Knights of Columbus, the motion pic
tures controlled by the Sacred nnd His
toric Film Company, of New York, or
Popa Plux X at St. James' Hnll. 3Sth and
Market streets, now a Knights of Colum
bus building, beginning April 10. These
pictures wero taken after 18 months of
effort by an enterprising, persistent and
energetic young American, James Slevln.
and he succeeded in his purpose after
many other men had failed.
Diplomacy and patience won tho day
for him, and when at last his opportunity
came, ho was permitted to take pictures
not only of ceiemonlnls but also of the
Holy Father In his study in tho Vatican.
Pictures were taken In St. Teter's and In
the Slstlne Chapel, of the Pope addressing
yast crowds from the Vatican balcony,
and all sorts of pictures of dignitaries
surrounding His Holiness were made aa
well. In one of the groups surrounding
Plus may be seen tho present Pope,
Benedict XV.
The achievement Is said to be remark
able In every way, and the pictures them
selves show such a variety of Incidents
In llfej at the Tapal court as only may
be seen by actual participants. Histor
ically the film Is of the greatest value,
an3 to Americana the opportunity that
Is afforded to see the late prelate as he
lived, and moved about Is beyond cher
ished expectation.

Identity of Man Who
1 Wants to Rent Conven

He Visits Offices of The
Evening Ledger.
.1. I'Mwnrd McQarvey, who wishes to
Icnso tho city's Convention Hall nnd use
It as a motion plcturo thcatro and danco
hall. Is no longer tho mystery that rival
exhibitors try to mako Kiln. Ho Is a
promoter of nmusoment enterprises, who
slnco last summer has ibeen living In tho
'Jlotel Stenton.
Furthermore, McOarvoy says, his offer
to pay .IToO a year rental for tho hall at
Ilroad strcot nnd Allegheny avenue Is
not "ridiculously Inadequate," ns Mnyor
Blankenburg described It when ho vetoed
nn ordlnanco providing for lenslng tho
building. Ho has tho hacking of his own
capltnl and that of amusement men ot
Now York, by which ho proposes to Bpcnd
an amount estimated at JT5,C00, needed
to mako tho structuro flro-proof ond put
It In condition to houso "movies" and
dances.
WON'T DC DIUV15N FTtOM FIKLD.
Ho will not bo driven from tho field If
tho ordlnanco Is not passed over tho
Mayor's veto, ho says, Ho has In con
templation two sltc, on rlthor of which
the group of capitalists will build a largo
auditorium nnd danco hnll If tho munici
pal propel ty Is not obtainable.

the KviiNiNet 1jt:rmnn to describe his
project In detail.

tho Convention Hnll to mako It conform
to tho flro laws and by Installing a heat

mako It a municipal dancing academy.
Slnco wo stnrtcd planning for this work,
Fovernl months ngo, tho Idea of combining
motion picture thcatro nnd danco hall on
a laigo Bcalo baa been followed In Brook
lyn nnd In Chicago.
MAYOR "DIDN'T UNDERSTAND."
"The Mayor, I am sure, did not fully
iindctstnnil our offer when ho vetoed the
ordinance piovldlng for leasing tho build
ing to us. Tho city Is not making a cent
out of the hnll. It Is paying out money
to keep It there and patrol It with fire
men. My offer will give Philadelphia a
revenue fiom tho building In placo of n
dead loss, which It has been since It wni
Ilrst used In 111
"It Is not strange that motion plcturo

want to glvo the people first-run pictures.
That means we shall control territory

CHAPT13II VII
nnnTIMENT INTEnFERES.
Tom Uendlx, waiting discontentedly In
the baro little back room of the Occident,
looked up, astounded, ns Slcdgo walked
In; for tho boss, still wearing his flornl
adornment, wna making a. auecr hoarse
Bound, the llko of which hod never before
escaped his lips In tho memory ot mortttl
man, Ho was humming! Humming a
splintered nnd Jagged and plteously dis
torted fragment of a little lovo dlttyl
Tom Bondlx killed a fly.
"Uozznm la waiting," ho stated.
"Nothing doing." grunted Sledge, nnd
sat down In his favorlto rough nrmchalr.
"I didn't tell him anything," Hendlr
ueiit on, obviously uneasy. "I've been
figuring, Sledge. Hy making tho reor
ganization of the street car company wo
can acoop out that two hundred nnd fifty
thousand undivided surplus, nil right, but
Jlnrley will havo over a third of it, for
ho owns 35 Tor cent, of tho Btock."
"L'nh-htinh!" said Sledge.
"Ho ooosn't deserve It," protested Uen
dlx. "You'vo mado tho company a pay
ing one, and that surplus belongs to you.
By giving HoMam's phony now company
n blanket franchise for tho rest of tho
city wo can resell that franchlso to tho
present company for tho full quarter of
a million; nnd Uozzam slips mo the hint
that his crowd will do tho work for fifty
thoiikniul. leavlnc tho other two hundred
thousand for you and the organization.
It's simple, It's easy and It's legitimate,
and It enn he dressed In such n way that
the voters wilt cat it up as a. big public
Improvement."
"Nix!" decided Sledge, looking Indiffer
ently out of the ttlmlow.
"Just a.s you say," reluctantly agreed
Bendix. "But theio's a big difference,
chief, between a hundied und two hun
dred thousand dollnis. JIurley alone will
te.ir off eighty-seven thousand five, hun
died." "How?" nsked Sledge. Ho looked down
at his red rose. It was beginning to
droop. Ho threw It on the Iloor and re
placed It with a fresh one. "Say, Tom,
havo a wad of these brought In every
morning."
"All right," returned Bcndlx, making n.
note of It, nnd cast a wondering look at
the boss. Slcdgo had only recently turned
tl.nvn a lll-cly applicant for the State Leg-
Islattuo because tho man wns a "outton-hole-bouquct
Johnny." '"I ho best plan of
operation I see," went on Bcndlx, "Is to
irorgnnlzo our hnlf-mlllion-dollnr com
pany for a million. Wo sell a quarter
million of the now stock for Improve
ments and make a present ot the other
quaiter of a million to the old stockhold
er pro rata. They'll think they're get
ting that undivided surplus in .stock la
place of cash and they'll nil ho rich."
Slrtlge nodded his head and grunted In
approval.
"The slit plus will still be In tho bank,
however, and we get It In tho transfer.
We'll havo the old shnres tinned over to
11-1 to exchange for the new, and for
iibout nn hour we'll out! all tho stock. In
that hour we'll hold a special stockhold
ers' meeting of us choice owners and de-
clnro an extra dividend of 0 per cent.
"CJoo,l dope," rumbled Sledge.
"Thcio pre objections to It," warned
Bcndlx. "Wo can probably bury tho roc
onls, all right, so that the two hundred
nnd fifty tr.otisaml surplus will fadeaway
llko a soap bubble, but If the Evening
Blade ever gets to It they'll carry It on
the front pugo for a year."
Sledge's only leply to that dim thrcnt
uiih a chuckle.
'"The Ulade hurts some," Insisted Bcn
dlx. "They'll carry a campaign ngalnst
us one of these days."
Sledge shrugged his mighty shoulders
ever so slightly.
"Wo're due," ho stated.
"A reform administration does teach
the town n lesbon," admitted Bendix,
"hut we're not ready for It yet. Leaving
tha Blade out of It, though, I don't llko
to waste this eighty-seven thousand five
hundred on JIarloy, and he'd have to bo
In on It."
"I want him In," said Sledge.
Bcndlx looked at him In Mirprlse.
' "I thought you wore against JIurley."
"ChangPd my mind," nnd Sledge, lean
ing slightly forward, pushed tho especial
button which had been Inserted Into tha
window ledge for his convenience.
"I may ns well send for Bozzam and
hand him a time-table, then," decided
Bendix, with a sigh of regret. "I like
thnt cuss, somehow. He's a good busi
ness man. Adolph," this to tho solemn
wnlter with tho smiling mustache, "tell
tho tall gentleman In the gray clothes to
step In,"
"Yes, sir," acknowledged Adolph.
"Drinks?"
Sledgo nodded nnd Adolph disappeared.
Jlr. IJozzam. though certnln In his soul
of a lost cause, came In as cheerfully ns
If he were to receive a Christmas present,
accepted an introduction to Sledgo with a
careful avoidance of overenthuslasm and
displayed his supremo knowledge of men
by sitting down with a hermetically sealed
mouth.
"Well, Bozzam," said Bendix, "I'm
sorry to remark that you draw a death
warrant "
Jlr. Bozzam spent a solid moment In
studying the stony proflla of Sledge.
"How's your Gas and Electric Com
pany?" ho gently inquired.
Bendix gilnned at him In delight.
"You'vo picked n grand little opportu
nity." ho confebsed, "hut local talent will
operate. There's no use, Bozzam. We're
sorry you'ra going-, but the best of friends
must part '
"I can't bear Jt." affirmed Sir. Bozzam.
"and you'll havo to get out an Injunction
to drlvo me away. Now, look here, gen
tlemen, What's tha use of wafting an
absolutely perfect hlgh-flnanco machine,
such as I have welded together? Where's
there another municipal Improvement or
ganization which, besides Its expert pro
moters and salesmen, can produce the Jiv
ing, breathing body of a sure-enough mil
llonalreT" "You certainly havo a 'fine outfit,"
agreed Bendix, "We shall miss you when
you're gone."
"Let us hope that the parting is not

yet," ventured Mr. Bozzam, smiling pleas
antly. "Don't you think that this city

solidly backed llfo Insurance company? Im
understand that rencnn, 01 1110 ihuuh
ncscrve, Is talked of for Governor on tho
hymn-book ticket." . ,,
Tor tho first time, Slcdgo favored tho
tnll promoter with a full view of his eye
balls. Ho shifted his gazo to Bcndlx, and
met on his chief lieutenant's countenance
a pleased expression, then ho gazed out
ngnln at tho hand-holo In tho gate.
"Humph!" ho grunted.
"You'd better hnvo your plan of oper
ation for mo to look over tonight," Ben
dix suggested, with a congratulatory
smile. ...
"It's ready for you right now," declared
jJozzam, rising. . ,
"No," replied Bchdlx, "you fellows will
probably want to spend tho afternoon un
packing your luggage."
Bert Gilder called, In rather a bad
humor, which was Increased, with a Jerk,
when ho saw the red roses.
"I guess I mado a mistake this morn
ing," ho suggested. "I thought you
phoned for mo to come over right nwny."
"Well?" demanded Bendix.
"Well," repeated Bert. ".Mr. Sledgo was
not In."
"Well?" ngaln said Bendix.
Mr. Glider suddenly felt that It wan
unbecoming to chorlsh resentment.
"What can I do for you?"' ho gra
ciously Inquired.
"Mako somo money. Tho Itldgowood
nvenuo extension Is slated, but tho word
Isn't to go out yet."
"Thanks," returned Bert, losing his re
sentment Immediately. "I'll closo with
you for that I'orson tract ns soon as
you're ready."
A telephono message arrived from Jlr.
Mnrlcv. who Innulrcd very particularly.
,-tnd with somo hnitghtlness, If Jlr. Sledgo
wns In, and would stay In.
"Bert Glider gives mo n distress," com
mented Bendix, when that natty real
cstnto promoter had disappeared.
"Ho's harmless, defended Sledgo;
"harmless nrd handy."
"Ho's too much ot n lady fussor," per
sisted Bendix. "Ho pays more attention
to them than ho does to business. And
tho girls go crazy over him."
Slcdgo turned to him In slow wonder.
"Would they marry a pretty guy llko
that?" ho Incredulously demanded.
'Ho could take his pick of 'era," con
fidently asserted Bendix.
Sledgo contemplated that nwrul fact
In silence for two long minutes.
"Ho Is a piffle," he charged. "Edge
In on his business. Wo might want to
dish him."
Jlr. JIarlcy called, a severe example
of outraged dignity, maintaining a cold
attitude during all tho tlmo In which
ho was given his Instructions regarding
tho plans for tho street railway reor
ganization, and when the business details
wero disposed of ho vonted his grievance.
"I'm sorry that my daughter's Ignoranco
of tho lmportanco of business affairs
annoyed you this morning," he began,
striking Slcdgo over Molly's defenseless
shoulder.
"Tho beans aro safe," Slcdgo reminded
him,
"I havo been humiliated," Insisted Mr.
Marloy. "I was about to go with my
daughter when you phoned. I under
stand that she then requested Jlr. Glider
to go with her; but you had also eent
for him. When wo arrived hero you
had gone out. When I returned to my
olllco I learned, to my mortification,
that you had accompanied her to the
dog pound."
Sledge, whose normal laugh was a
grunt, chuckled until his face grow red.
"And go Molly's dog trip was a coinc-back,-"
ho delightedly surmised. "I'm
glad sho put 1110 on tho ticket. Why,
Mnrley, that girl's a born politician. You
ought to bonow her brnlns."
CHAPTER VIII.
THE LIFE OF THE PARTY.
A yelp on tho front porch nnnounccd tho
arrival of Ben Sledge, and ho appeared In
tho brilliantly lighted hall, holding a
tightly fitrotched chain, to the other end
of which was-attached a one-eyed, stub
eared, battle-scared bull terrier, which
took such a. violent dlsllko to tho Intellectual-faced
JIarley butler that Sledgo
was compelled to hold him clear of tho
Iloor with one brawny hand, nnd spank
htm loudly In tho ribs with the other;
whereupon Bob gave a Mnglo yelping
promlso to bo good, and Slcdgo let him
down again.
"This Is Bob, Jllffi Jtolly," Introduced
Sledge. "I'm sending him right back
with Jlike, but you said you'd llko to see
him."
"Delighted to meet you. Bob," laughed
Jlolly, stooping down nnd patting him on
tho seamy head.
Bob deliberately batted his good eye
with nil the effect of a wink, and wagged
his nbtuird stump ot a tall by way of
friendly greeting, then he suddenly mado
a lunga of about four feet, and strained,
choking, at tho end of his chain, on his
hind feet, with his tonguo hanging out.
From tho rear of the lot ho had heard
the bark of tho suspicious Smnsh.
"Where's Jlike?" ' demanded Jlolly
hastily.
Bert Glider and five of tho eight couples
whom Molly had invited had already ar
ilved, and wero now, of course, thronged
eagerly In the doorways.
"What's your hurry, Jlolly?" snickered
loose-jointed Dicky Reynolds. "Hold your
caller till I tun out and get Smash. He
knows me."
"Don't you dare!" shrieked Jlolly, dis
trusting hint, with good reason.
Bob loosened his throat enough to nn
swer tho challenge from tho kennel, nnd
there wasn't a girl left In tho doorways,
except Jessie Peters, who clung to Dicky's
sleeve.
"I'll go with you, Dicky," offered cir
cular little Willie Walters, with an echo
of Dicky's snicker.
"If you do. he'll bark" at you,"' hotly
retorted Molly, knowing Weo Willie's
cautious propensities.
The rest of the boys were for keeping
up tha good work, but Sledge cut short
tho Incipient hysteria by picking up Bob
by tho neck, returning to tho door, and
booming Into the night the silent potent
syllable: .
"Mike!"'
A squatty man, who looked so much like
Bob, even to a patched eye, that they
could have been taken for twins, emerged
from the darkness, hugged Bob to his
uiouui iiiiu a orotner and hurried away.
Fern and Jlolly looked nt each otlcr
with dismay. If this was the start of the
ennuis, wnuv eise mignt tney expect!
"Why didn't Jlike take them b
thpm .i-tti
away?" whispered Fern. "You poor girl!"
"I'm not!" denied Molly fiercely, "I
said this morning that I'd like to seo
Bob, and, of course, Mr. Sledge brought
..un, .no uwy irouuie is ne's so quick."
"He's instantaneous," corrected Fern,
