MAKING A NEWSPAPER
Moving Picture Show Every Step In
Production of "The Record."
There Iiiin been n general curiosity on
the part of the public lo know how a
modem ntwapaPW is in nli- and to snt
laly nil. lilt- whole Hon whs recently
told it Keith's PwajMpnia Theatre, in
it remarkable series of lifc-iiintioti pic
tures calleil -The Making of a Modern
Newspaper." "The Philadelphia Rec
ord" was nclcctid as the model by S.
Labia, who mad the series of very real
istic pictures.
The series opens with a scene repre
senting a newspaper ollice over a hun
dred years ago. Thin Is to give artistic
und historical contrast to the great me
chanical advance in jouriiiilViu since
that time. It shows the outside of nit
old Philadelphia printing ahon, and the
next glimpse is of the inside of the same
printer-. A journeyman is laboriously
pulling impressions with a lllaew, or
Washington hand press, while his ap
prentice is busy niiiniig the type, both
being dressed in the costume of the
period. Next appears Jten Franklin
himself. He walks to the window, looks
critically at the sheet, nnd again returns
to Lis olHce, in a short time putting on
his hut and walking out.
The next picture leaps across a cen
tury and gives a line panoramic view of
the home of "The Philadelphia Record."
In u Hash is seen "The Record's" fn
mons Electric Haseball Score Board,
with the great crowd watching the pro
gress of tui exciting game between the
Detroit and the Athletics.
The next picture shows the business
oiiiies of "The Philadelphia Record."
witli the otlli-e force ami the ordillarv
routine of baainewi going mi. Ft thai
point the real tour oi "The Philadel
phia Record" establishment begins.
The managing editor is show n in con
sultation with various members of his
staff, und all so true to life that the
effect is as if they were transacting their
business in real flesh and blood before
the aUdienCc. Next comes the city
editor, with his corps of reporters, each
one attending to his or her own busi
ness, according to the exigencies of the
moment Tins scene is succeeded by
the department of the advertising mali
nger, which shows an array of solicitors
receiving their various assignments.
Receiving want and other advertise
ments by telephone v an interesting
sight that follows next. This is a feu
ture of advertising that in recent times
has grown to great proportions. Some
thing akin. Inn broader in its scope, Is
the succeeding view of the telegraph
room, where a skilled corps of operutors
is busy receiving news from every point
of the compass. The messages ure di
rectly taken on typewriters, und so
realistic is the picture tliut the specta
tors cun utmost fancy they hear the
click und ruttle of the instruments ami
the machines.
Next comes a prominent feature of (lie
making of a modern newspaper the
"Drawing of the Daily Cartoon." The.
spectators see the urtist actually at work
and ure at once impressed with the deft
ness of his pen and the modesty of his
studio. The next step is into the Me
chanical Department, the visitor is
treated to n close range view of "Setting
Up Advertisements" by hand, succeeded
by u tour through the llnotvping room,
where "The Philadelphia Record's" big
butteries of linotype machines ure shown
In active operation. These almost human
pieces of mechanism were never exhibit
ed to better ail vantage. The stereotyp
ing room comes next, with every opera
tion shown in detail, including a com
plete deuionsti-utlou of MucConuell's new
hclipse automatic finishing and cooling
machine, which in one simple operation
does the work' of the four machines hith
erto deemed necessary for shaving, trim
ming, cooling nnd accurately finishing
tins semi-cylindrical stereotype plates.
The next niiturul step is n visit to
"The Philadelphia Record" press room,
nnd the exhibition is such a fine one
that even the dullest admire the mng
nilicent series of views so faithfully por
trayed on the screen. The great presses
are shown to the fullest advuntage from
every end and angle, slid at every stage
of the journey, from the placing of tho
blank rolls on the spindles to the tin
jshed newspapers that muy be seen rush
ing out of the mouths of the presses by
the tens of thousands per hour.
One of the busiest departments is
the delivery, mulling and shipping room.
There the papers ure automatically
conveyed from the press room by an
endless elevator und severul hustling
groups of men are kept on the jump
putting up bundles, wrapt parcels
and getting ready for the mull hugs in
dividual copies for out of town sub
scribers. Next Is shown "Making the
Trains, where the wagon delivery serv
ice every i iruing makes good the boast
ihut "Tile Philadelphia Record" is ul
wuys on thue.
The final picture shown "The Phila
delphia Record" at the breakfast table,"
and makes a fitting climax to the won
derful series. A typical American fsm
ly Is seen at home. The father, seated
beside his wife. Is showing "The Rec
ord Just received.
