Submarine Pictures

U'du'e, to tho enormous business of tho
tut, two weeks and upon the request,
alio, of hundreds of Phlladelphlans, who
hive, written to the management con
gratulating It upon the nature of the en
tertainment. From every standpoint the
Williamson submarine pictures are the
most wonderful of all motion pictures. In
pthtra the Impossible has been accom-
tilUhed..
-They ore not only thrilling, wonderful,
to their taking, but of an educational
talue that Is beyond computing. That It
vas possible to take pictures beneath the
turface .of the water, showing the bed of
the'jocean, the wonderful gardens at tho
lottom of tho sea, the coral beds, the
i'trange fish, native divers searching
wrecks, WJlllamBon himself In a death
tittle with a shark, and all of the other
m-trvelous things that are thrown upon
tM screen, Is an accomplishment thrt
heretofore has only been imaginary.
A atrlklng feature of the crowds that

Wonderful Wild
Life Pictures
Imaglno the courage of an Indian who
would climb a tree and pull a wildcat out
of the tree by tho tall!
It sounds unbelievable, doesn't It?
Tou see It all In the wonderful Balls
bury fish and game picture at the Chest
nut Street Opera House. There will be
presentations today and all next week.
The pictures are really an educational
treat. It would seem almost a crimo for
any man, woman or child to miss them.
Edwin Salisbury Is a California nature
lover, sportsman, author and nuthorlty"
on animal life. Ho lias spent the past
two years taking motion pictures of ani
mal life In California and has obtained
some of tho most wonderful pictures
Imaginable. It took weeks, days and
months of patient waiting and stealthy
work to gain some of those films. Salis
bury built blinds to conceal the moving
picture camera and succeeded In getting
within a few feet of somo of California's
most Interesting birds and animals. His
pictures of Hon and wildcat hunts and
the roping jjf some of California's most
ferocious beefsts make the blood tingle.
A spectacular California goose hunt
In the marshes below Stockton Is one
of the interesting features. Another film
shows tho California Fish and Game
Commission's work of stocking trout
streams. Pictures showing the trapping
of trout in spawning season, the taking
of eggs from the fish by artificial means,
tho artificial hatch and the stocking of
streams with millions of small trout',
astound the spectator. Salisbury eays
that only 5 per cent of the natural spawn

are scheduled for production next week
at the Globe Theatre. Tho offering for
the first three days and nights will Do
a film dramatization of Captain A. E. V.
MaBon's thrilling work of fiction, "Four
Feathers." This really extraordinary play
tells the story of a young man who, by
reason of fear, falls to respond to his
country's call In time of war. His resig
nation from tho army brings from three
of his comrades threo white feathers,
supplemented by a fourth from his fian
cee, tho last symbol of cowardice given
him.
He is stung to the quick, and goes to
Egypt, where the war Is on between the
English and tho Arabs, and enlists as a
Greek. The screen drama gives all the
episodes of his" career at tho scene of
strife; his valorous deeds, whereby ho
saves from death by torture his three
comrades, his recovery of valuable docu
ments and other acts of unusual hero
ism. These finally forco from his com
rades Just recognition, and they demand
the return of their feathers. In relin
quishing them the hero demands that
they be returned to his fiancee. Upon his
return "to England ho finds her waiting for
her feather, and a wedding ring is the

Van Dyke Brooke. Maurice Costello
and several other Vltagraph directors
and players, while enjoying an automo
bile ride, passed a beautiful mansion, on
the park slope of Brooklyn. Mr. Brooke,
pointing to it, exclaimed:
"There Is a place I got for two dollars
last week."
"It's hard to believe," responded Mr.
Costello.
"I drove up In a hurry," continued Mr.
Brooke, "and, seeing a man as If ho
might be the owner, asked If I might use
the house in pictures. 'Sure,' he an
swered. I took a number of scenes In
which he was very much interested. On
leaving I handed him a two-dollar bill
and thanked him. 'What are you thank
ing mo for?' ho asked. 'Why, for the
use of the house,' I answered. 'Oh. that's
all right,' ho exclaimed, 'it doesn't belong

"Where Cowboy Is King"
For those who desire to breathe the air
of tho plains, to see tho cowboys In ac
tion, the Indian celebrating In natlvo
style, "Wnero Cowboy Is King," a four
reel feature, Is recommended.
It Ib not a picture for which actors
made up and posed. The real cowboy,
cowgirl and Indian were caught at work
by the eye of tho camera and faithfully
reproduced. A strong vein of humof runs
throughout tho picture.
Tho round-up, broncho busting, steer
nnd buffalo riding, the race of stage
coaches, t'no Indians, the dare-devil rid
ing, Is not only Interesting nnd Instruct
ive, but stnrtllng and halr-ralslng. To
ce a stage conch turn over completely
and right Itself with the horses at full
gallop takes one's breath away. Yes.
tho doctors were kept busy. Many were
taken off the field on stretchers.
It all took place at the round-up held
nt Pendleton, Ore., and It's worth while
seeing.
"Wncro Cowboy Is King" was released
by the Philadelphia U. B, O. Feature
Film Company.

Edisonettes
For & subject that has been so often
done in pictures as fire scenes the praise
from exhibitors and laymen that Is com
ing to Director Ashley Miller and Edi
son for the big fire scene In the play, "Out
of the nulns," In which Mabef Trunnelle
Is featured, is unusual. The play, though
dono In three reels, Is remarkable for the
long period that suspense of the super
class Is carried over.
Edison Is receiving many compliments
from exhibitors and photoplay patrons
alike on the remarkable work shown In
the double exposures In "The Deadly
Hate," directed by Richard Rldgely,
where Marc MacDcrmott plays against
himself. Where, as In this kind of Work,
the mistake of a second's calculation
would make tho most dramatic moment
of the play a ludicrous affair, the photo
play's pre-eminence over the stages In pro
ducing tho Illusion of, say, twins In the
same play, Is pronounced, and camera
man George "W. Lane deserves much
credit.
In tho Edison, "Tho Wrong Woman,"
a plcturizatlon of a famous old play
which Director Illchard Rldgely has done
In a three-reel feature Mabel Trunnello
for tho first time appears as an adven
turess. Besides Its unusual beauty of
setting, the film will have added Interest
to femininity because of the gowns worn
In It.
