During this time the executive offlcera of the Gotham Film Company were in an uproar. Word had reached Marshall "W Taggart. Its president, of the predicament of his star. The word that reached Mr Taggart was that Miss Marshall had been arrested and Mr. Taggart had visions of his being unable to have the play finished and distributed to the Gothams' 29 ex changes on release date, and thereupon he and Charles U Brookhehn, of the New York Gotham Film Exchange, made DONALD C.

It was then discovered that the person arrested was her chauffeur, and with a smile. Magis trate Krotel fined Harry the sum of S, which Mr. Taggart paid with a sigh. They were seen walking out of court together and what was said by Mr. Taggart to the chauffeur wfll not be published. However, Miss Marshall Is now back to work on the completion of "The Trade Secret" and merely suffered a slight cold, which Incapacitated her for only two days. "THE NAMELESS STORY" "The Nameless Btory" Is one of the most pleasing little picture plays of Its kind produced, and la now being shown In Philadelphia's leading moving picture theatres. The novelty of giving the audience an opportunity to supply a title for the play and the cash prizes offered for the best suggestions keeps every one alert. The Judges made their decision for the first contest on last Saturday afternoon at the Poor Richard Club. They were amazed at the number of titles suggested for 'The Nameless Story," and found It exceedingly hard to decide the winners. If you have not been fortunate enough to see "The Nameless Story," watch for the booking of this reel In the theatres in your neighborhood. You will be amused by the way an up-to-date housewife pro cures a home for 25 cents, and you will have an opportunity to win a cash prize. World Film Prospers The Philadelphia branch of the "World Film Corporation started out originally with three employes In one little room about IS months ago. Step by step It has developed until It now occupies an entire building at the most prominent corner of Film Row, with a personnel of H people, open 21 hours every day. Improvements have been made week by meek, service has improved. Every pos sible atttntion has been given to the publicity end and the enormous amount of 1000 names of satisfied exhibitors make up the service list of the corporation. The offices are spacious, light and pleas ant. The projection room is well equipped and a little theatre In itself. When you enter the office the treatment you re ceive is courteous at all times and ad vice for each situaUon Is given. There Is a certain tone of confidence and re liability that would strike you, and Mr. George J. Beihoff Insists upon the most courteous treatment and a hearing for everybody. It took several months to build the effi ciency of the World Film Corporation offices to Its present point, and weak em ployes of the staff had to yield to make room for competent help willing to exert their entire ability toward co-operation between the exhibitor and the exchange. There Is a sense of co-partnership be tween every employe of the ofllce and the corporation, which has been wonderfully stimulated by the profit-sharing plan put Into effect by the general manager. Mr. L. J. Selznlck, whereby everybody shares In the prosperity of the business. Every effort has been made by Mr. BelhofC to work In harmony with every exhibitor of the State, be his house ever so small, and to arrange terms with him to suit both parties at all times. Mr. Beihoff has also been working hard on a plan whereby the different exchange heads In Philadelphia will co-operate and meet weekly to discuss the best methods to be used for film interests in this ter ritory for the protection of both the ex hibitor and the exchange. THE MOVIE SUNDAE Clara Kimball Young has had a "sun dae" named after her. Popularity of the. soda fountain brand ought to go a long way during the sultry summer days.
