The president of the Mu tual Film Corporation asked tho New York Motion Picture Corporation to withdraw Its productions from the Mu tual program after that date. This was done more or less becduso the president of tho Mutual believed the Now Vork corporation was to withdraw nnyway, and In tho parliinco whs simply "beating them to It." The New York Motion Pic ture Corporation Is to ally ItBcIf with the Triangle. For the Mutual the following plans nave oeen compieteil: Two three-reel tei turca with Broadwny stnrs In tho lending roles will be rclcasejl each week; the Knickerbocker stnrs, now releasing through the (loncra!, will be ndded to the Mutual program.

In addition to tho beautiful scenic effects that enn bo se cured In this section, almost every Inch of ground has some historical Interest to offer. Many -pictures have already been filmed In the exact locations that history has designated, With tho nld of the Pnn-Cro system of interior lighting.
