IN LUBIN rSXWttJ Arcadia Theatre Ready One of the handsomest and most mod ern of theatres devoted exclusively to the production of high standard photoplas. ornuto In architecture and decorations nnd complete In equipment to the smallest detail Is the Arcadia, located on the north side of Chestnut street, enst of 16th, which Is to be formally opened on Satur day next. Tho opening attraction will be the Vltngrnph picture, "The Juggernaut," to bo followed by the Fox ntm "Kreutzer Sonnta," and tbo same company's "Tho New Governor," a film version of Ed ward Sheldon's play, "Tho Nigger." It Is said by tho Arcadia manage ment that the new playhouso Is tho Una! step In tho long series of strides, or, intlier, leaps, which within the Inst two years has lifted the picture play from tho ranks of tho commonplace and given It and the theatre housing it a stand lng and prestige which are not to be gainsaid by even the most captious critic or doubting Thomas. It wan never contemplated to make tho Arcadia a huge convention hall or auditorium, or even a big theatre. Tho slzo of the valuablo site of location on Philadelphia's most excluslvo business MALVJNB LOOE-L, OF TfC tVVW FILMS street precluded the possibility of this In the llrst place. What was Intended nnd what has bcon accomplished Is tho presentation to tho public of a bijou palace of modern cntcr tnlnmeut; one Incklng in not a single com fort, clement of attractiveness or safety, nnd cnpnblo of comfortably accommodat ing BOO patrons nt each performance. Tho location and tho beauty of the thcatrq Insure that this patronage will be drawn from the very classes thnt tho playhouse was established to cater to. In the matter of Interior decorations and modem tinnltntlon nnd vcntilatl'in projects, many thousands of dollars have been spent ulone, with tho result that restful nnd healthful ease may be enjoyed nt all seasons among the most beautiful surroumllnsH.

Detroit Now Censorless Detroit Is one city In the country which will not suffer from censorship for somo time, nt least. At least, if Detroit citi zens want motlon-plcturo censorship, they will have to do the censoring them selves, as tho money which pievlously was used for defraying the expenses of censorship In Detroit has been nil ex pended.

The direc tors of the concern nro Crawford Living ston, of New York city; William W. Ciump, William Shallenbergcr, Richmond, Va. Griffith on Poe "Thcro Is no wonder," said D. W. Grimth, whoso masterly photo-drama, "Tho Avenging Conscience," Is now at tho Chestnut Street Opera House, "that Hdgnr Allan Too wns able to sound al most every human emotion. Of course, his genius would liavo asserted Itself under any circumstances, but tho fact that ho experienced tho pangs of hun ger nnd that ho also had lived for a long pnrt of his early llfo In luxury made him universal In his understanding nnd In his analytic quality. This struck mo espcelelly when I read 'The Tell-Tnle Heart,' from which 1 hnd suggestion for the theme of 'The Avenging Conscience. His own snd life made him the keener nnalylst and In everything ho wrote there was tho mark of genius. In reading Poc's llfestory I was deeply Impressed, nnd I una especially touched by tho appeal that was made by his brother poet, Nathaniel I'arkcr Willis, for Poe, when ho was liv ing In u little cottage at Fordham, JUBt outsldo New York, with his dying wife and her faithful mother. Truly Poe wns more deserving than his countrymen of his day found him. Just think of that magnificent creation, 'Tho Haven.' sell ing for $10 yet that was all ho received for tho poem. Ho gave us much nnd he obtnlned llttlo In return. Hut had he lived thcro would liavo been oven grcator achievements. He himself felt that he had not given of his best, for ho wrote. No man has recorded, no man has dared to record, tho wonders of his Inner life. "Sty efTort In making tho picture wns to do Justice, In my own poor wny, to an Imnglnatlvo genius. I have sought to give the picture the glamour of romance nnd to depict beautiful scenes and entrancing happenings with as rare art as the cam era permits. Yet 1 did not mint to sac rifice any elements of the story to por tiuy the moie unlovely emotions or hap penings of gruesome or thrilling nature. The public's acccptunco of the picture Is quite as much n gratification to me be cause of appreciation of a slnccro effort ns aro tho financial returns." WORLD FILM CORPORATION LEWIS J.
