Hundreds 6f persbna tn Lonff Island City
'nibbed 'their eyes lncrettutolisly ono night
IAst week ns they passed an historic mio
TtfAir Jaclison nvenue, nnd for much the
amat renabrV that set th Inhabitant of
' New York nnd Jrey City nibbing ther
part last Sunday dynamite. In the morn-
iri the old Thomas homestead, which has
' Btood on the street for nearly a hundred
years, hrfd been there, in the evening
nothing: remained but blackened ruins and
corched ground.
' ' Under the supervision of Director Konean
Buel, of the William Fox forces, the wreck
j the houso had been accomplished In the
Interim for a scene In Virginia Pearson's
latest picture.
A bdttallon chief of the fire department,
two police captains nnd officials of Uio
Bureau of Combdstlbl6s and a crowd of
more than B000 other spectators were pres
sjnt when tho electric battery connecting
with the dynamite chargo of 25 pounds
, was touched,
Tlit), explosion which followed, as the
i landmark tyas shattered, could, be heard
it it Irrj6 10' miles away. Tho entire three-
. "Wbry framo dwelling, surmounted by Us
century-old cupola, fell with a crash The
' " dust clouds which arose Instantly were
wallowed In the burst of flames roaring
through the center of the house.
Spectators watched the hlaio silently.
For a half-hour they stood without a word
as four -camera men ground out foot after
toot of film In tho heat The i.nmes wore
bo Intcnso that trcos In the neighborhood
Were badly scorched.
Tho sceno which was screened rep
resented tho dynamiting of n munitions
storehouse a few seconds after Miss Pearson
saves a srlpplcd little girl In tho building.
She had hardly got through tho doorway,
with the girl In her arms, when tho explosion
took place.
In the days of tho old-fashion racetrack
of E0 years ago, the Thomas Homestond
was well-known as a mecca for the society
people of Long Island. In Its spacious
drawing room, 60 couples could danco at
one time. Several months slnco, tho Fox
Film Company purchased tho property, and
for the last fortnight the troupe of actors
and actresses have been waiting for
suitable weather to remove the landmark
because the exigencies of the movlos de
manded tho spectacle.
On Friday thero was only a slight wind
blowing, and preparations were carried out
Several hundred feet from tho houso n
pint form was erected for operators to stand
on, with their machines.
One of the Interested spectators was tho
man who had occupied tho building for
IB years.
Onco more William Desmond li playing
tho rolo of a minister In a Trlanglo-Ince
play. Upon his association with tho Thomas
H. Ince forces, little leis than a year ago,
ho was cast to wear tho frock In "Wolfs,"
In which Jane Grey was presented. Then
ho wan cast to appear as tho "meenlstcr,"
In support of Blllle Burko, In "Peggy"
And now he Is enacting tho role of n young
missionary worker In the desert-Island
story by Monte Katterjohn and Lanier
Bartlett In which ho Is appearing as co
star with Dorothy Dalton, under Walter
Edwards's direction.
Tom Mix, Sellg cowboy star. Is soon to
Appear In a big western drama to bo re
leased through tho V. L. S. D.
About 200 cubic feet of Wisconsin was
moved Into Illinois when Essanay trans
ferred tho stone and shrubs pf an entire-
ccno tanen in tne Dells to Its studio yards
In Chicago. A hugo snake and several
cranes were required In tho scene, which
wns for "The Itcturn of Eve." Edna Mayo's
next feature, but the serpent taken to the
Dells escaped and another could not bo
quickly obtained. Therefore, tho whole
spot, taken at the edge of the river, was
moved to Chicago and tho snake and water
fowl scenes taken. Several photographs
were taken of the location pt the Dells, so
It could bo duplicated exactly. A water
tank was built In tho foreground nnd tho
sceno constructed behind It Just as It ap
peared alongside the Wisconsin River.
"Anton the Terrlblo" Is belnir produced
by the Lasky Feature Play Company for
the Paramount program, with Theodore
Iloberta and Thomas Melglinn as co-stars.

' BAT'S BEWILDERING BEHAVIOR
Invades Mayor's Reception Room in City Hall, Defies
Efforts at Expulsion, Then Departs With
Mutinous Mutterings
A bold, boisterous, belligerent bat blew
Into the Mayor's reception room today and
defied the highest authorities at City Hall.
It hissed at the reserve cop at the door,
frowned at the faithful Webb, Mayor
Smiths' brave buffer and exterior secretary,
and nestled up In tho northoast corner of
the room. . ,..
Stenographers quickly covered their
heads with newspapers. Visitors retreated,

A FACTOR IN AMERICAN BUSINESS
PEIRCE SCHOOL, founded 51 years ago, is at once partly
the cause of and partly the effect of Business Efficiency.
When Thomas May Peirce back in 1865 began the stand
ardization of office practice he had a new idea. But even he
did not know that he had discovered a continent like
Columbus he thought he had merely advanced the generally
known boundaries.
What he had really done was to invent a new science the
science of Business.
Every year of the fifty-one since, PEIRCE SCHOOL has led the way. Its
text-feooks have served as the models for all others. Its short cuts in book
keeping have been woven into the modern fabric of accountancy. Its
instructors have broken new ground continually. Its pupils have carried the
newest ideas, learned in its classrooms, into the daily practice of Big Business.
No makeshift course, tacked on to the public or private school curriculum,
can possibly take the place of the wonderful Education in Business which
PEIRCE SCHOOL provides.
Business is the great power in the progress of America. Preparation for business life is a
serious matter. The right preparation means success to what consistently uniform
extent the fine record of PEIRCE graduates proves.
Poor, inefficient, unscientific preparation means, in after life, merely the holding of "jobs"
sometimes precariously. If this be not true, then the vocational records of many
college and school alumni are incorrect.
Like every good thing PEIRCE SCHOOL has had its imitators many of them. But
there is now, elsewhere, scarcely even a physical semblance of the idea and the method
that have endowed PEIRCE'S with the dignity of international reputation.
All a young man's time, once he has done with the simpler schooling, is needed in the
preparation for a life work of business. Send him where Business is the theme, in all its
variations, and where only masters teach it, supported by an equipment unequaled, and
an authority unquestioned.
