LUBIN TO MAKE CITY
CHIEF MOVIE CENTRE
Photoplay Producer Announces
Radical Change in Policy
Here.
Slgmund Lubln, pioneer motion picture
producer, head of tho great corporation
bearing his name and owner of tho
largest "movie" plant In the world, to
day announced a ladlcnl change In the
policy of his business. Tho pending and
contemplated changes mean that Phila
delphia will become tho home of tho
greatest producing plant In existence;
that onli master films will bo pictured
here mid that tho standards of art, of
photography and of acting will be raised
to the highest possible degree
In making tho announcement, Mr. Lu
bln emphasized tho fact that hereafter
Lubln pictures will mean tho very best In
motion photography and that, whereas
his present payroll for actors Is 130,000 a.
week, It would bo Increased to nearly
doublo that amount when the now plans
wero consummated.
"Philadelphia Is to be tho homo of tho
best In motion pictures," said Mr, Lubln
"I realized somo timo ago that my plant,
oompleto as It Is, was not turning out ns
artistic as distinctly pictures ns others
wero. Wo havo tho machinery, wo havo
monoy and wo have tho whole world
upon which to draw for talent And this
will be our now policy In tho future I
havo been dissatisfied with our pictures.
I want something much better and I am
going to get it. I have watched films
made by my competitors and I hao mar
velled at their beauty and tho wonderful
photography Now, wo are going to do
better than they do.
"To do this, I shall reverse my policy
of jenrs Instead of making up a cast
out of the stock members of tho various
companies employed by me, I shall cast
well-known actors and actresses for the
arious roles, to obtain that type so
necesiar to convey tho Illusion to tho
auditor Tho day has gono by when tho
photoplay can ba staged In any old way,
with a scratch cast Today, tho motion
plcturo must be artistic, must tell a stir
ring tale, bo well photographed and havo
tho necessary 'punch.'
"I cannot make known all my plans at
this time, for they aro not jet completed
In their entirety, but you may announce
that a week from next Monday Mario
Dressier will begin another 'Tlllle' film,
v lth John C. Rice, the well-known come
dian, as one of her supporting cast There
will also be a comedian of tho Chaplin
tjpe, to add to the fun. Howell Hanscll
will be tho director Most of the play will
bo filmed at tho Betzwood plant, which
cost me $1,000,000 and four j ears' work to
complete I am Importing scene painters,
property men and stago carpenters from
New York I want tho best money can
obtain, and I am detei mined to spend
enough monoy to place Philadelphia in
the very centro of the motion picture
map "
Mr Lubln's present acting and directing
forces, scattered from California to Ari
zona, will be reorganized Incidentally,
It la of Interest that tho John C Rice, of
Miss Dressler'a company, participated in
tho. first kissing scene ever (limed at close
range. Tho film was "The ICjss." filmed
many years ago by Mr. Lubln. May Irwin
was Rico's oscillatory opponent.
COOL-HEADED SCHOOLGIRL
PREVENTS SERIOUS BLAZE
Gives Alarm When She Discovers
Firo on Way to School.
Boys even Ilttlo boje and men are not
the only persons who can become heroes
when a lire breaks out. A little girl
proved It this morning when she pre
ented what might have been a serious
blaze.
The little girl is Amelia Volv, 12 years
old, of 2423 North 3d street. She was on
her way to the William Adamson School,
4th street and Lehigh avenue, when aha
saw smoke Issuing from tho rear of the
vacant housa at 2427 North 3d street. In
stead of screaming, as some Ilttlo girls
would have done, she only clutched her
books the tighter and ran as fast as her
legs could carry her(to 3d and Cumber
land Btreets, where she sent In a Are
alarm She had to stand on tiptoes to
break the glass and "pull" the handle,
but she did It. Stopping only an Instant,
she ran to the 4th and Yorks streets po
lice station and told the policemen all
about It. Then she ran back and watch
ed the firemen extinguish the Are.
Slight damage was done. Two boys,
who were seen to leave the house early
this morning after having spent the night
there, are thought to have caused the
fire by smoking cigarettes In a shed in
the rear.
Heart Disease Causes Woman's Death
A sudden attack of heart disease over
came MrB Josephine Rogers, 75 years
old, of 123S S 22d street, as she stood
at the top of a stairway at her home
today. She felt down the flight and died
at the Polyclinic hospital.

tion to a student proposal to mako col
lego hours 8 to 4 dally Instead of 0 to 6.
for tho benefit of athletlo practice, gained
for him the cordial dlsllko of so mnny
students that ha had far mora votes at
tha sophomore election than did any other
faculty man. Radicalism was also given
ns a cause for voting for him by men
who named him on their ballots.
Doctor Plummer, according to men who
aro to take part In tho mock trial,
"flunks" loo many In his chemistry
courses to ba popular with engineering
students. It Is declared that ha has an
nounced to his classes that ho will
"flunk" a certain proportion of men In

Opposition to Doctor Shugert Is based
on what students In his classes think Is
lack of proper sympathy toward (ho
undergraduates. Although ho lives In tho
dormitories, it Is said by men who voted
to cremate him that he ought to bo moro

One of the
Perry Talks
to the
Perry Sales
Organization
"Treat him Idndly
He can't help it!"
C "There's an old Latin
proverb which every mer
chant, and certainly every
lawyer, knew some years
ago 'namely, 'Caveat Emp
tor,' which in plain Eng
lish means 'Let the buyer
beware.' It meant that
if you swapped horses
with a Gipsy and got
stuck, you had no come
back. C "A good many men to
day go into a store sub
consciously victims o f
that same mental attitude
of distrust and suspicion.
To them it is still a battle
to buy. They're afraid of
having something put
over on them. The barkers
in bold-face type, who as
sure them they give some
thing ,for less than it's
worth, keep alive the sus
picion which extends to
those who do not merit it,
as well as to those who do.
C; "So it might be well to
try to understand such a
man's point of view. A
firm confidence in the rec
titude of your own Store
will help you to banish his
distrust and replace it with
your own sense of secur
ity." C This talk was strictly
entre nous at one of our
regular monthly meetings.
It was never intended for
general publicity until
some one pointed out that
it might interest our friends
as being an inside state
ment of Perry Principles;
and serve the General Pub
lic as a summing up of the
selling situation today
