EVENING EEBGEBPHIEAMEPHIA, SATURDAY, MAY IBIS: I i i SEVEN REELS OF LATEST MOVIELAND FILMS DONE IN WORD AND PICTURE ms. IK i m.t- jiiiwaekn i I tSl pln for encouraging Iho production of a dlitlnctlvo typo of picture for children, i b3 mcrnbers have been working qulelly to seenro the co-operation In tha output of hlRh-daes fllmii ot educational and re-creative value of producing companies. "The t-'nltcd Film Service lias been unusually kind to us. although all the film companies have been kind, and has offered us many suggestions whereby a national exchange for children's pictures may bo established," said Mrs. Woodward.

"Wo feel the great value of the short one and two-reel picture for children. Wo think that great harm can bo done to growing children by the lurid, gaudy colored postcrB which so often appear In ifront of the motion picture houses, and It Is because wo want to do preventive work In keeping these pictures away from the minds of children and constructive work In creating a market for goood children's pictures which will stlmulato producers to make them that wo are working hard for the hlgh-etnndard motion picture." Movie Poet Breaks Loose JIIss Jlortenso Bourlon has submitted this poetical gem, entitled "Screenings:" "When clouds are white, nml skits are blue, Ana bud on Ihc lilac bush are new. 'IIS men uur iniiiun icicii nici-ua For kitchen doors and movie scenes." Not That Kind of English The many friends of Betty Nanscn are enjoying hugely a story which Id going the rounds at tho actress' expense. This fascinating and stately beauty of tho Northland hns been assiduously studying the English language since her nrrtval here. Sho haB lost no opportunity to acquire new words.

Over In tho Fox studios in Jersey City, where Miss Nanscn has been working In "A Woman's Resurrection," her dressing room adjoined that of n. certain well-known Broadway star who has a Japanese vnlet. This gentleman's gentleman Is at times very provoking, and the actor In question, who Is possessed of very vigorous vocabulary on occasions of excitement Is wont to launch his picturesque diatribes In moat un-'cbstcrlan language on the luckless head of this eon of Nippon, Miss Nansen had never met tho actor In question, but sho had heard that ho was a very Intellectual man and so listened attentively to all that was sold In tho adjoining dressing room, with the ro- suit that sho was able to omozo ana iiko-wlso to shock J. Gordon Edwards, her director, her fellow-player, and her friends with sparkling streams of pollto profanity, Including some entirely new and original cuss words. After awhile, somebody had the cour-npo to Inform Miss Nansen that wherever Bho had acquired her new lexicon It was most decidedly not of tho kind Indulged In In pollto society.

So deep an Impression, however, had tho "Intellectual actor's" startling verblago made upon Miss Nansen that It has been found necessary to cngago an English tutor to expurgate, ns It were, her newly acquired gift of English speech. The Garrick Turns to Motion Pictures On Monday tho Garrick Theatro will begin a season of photoplay productions, the first one being "The New Governor," with William Farnum as tho star. This photoplay is Edward Sheldon's "Tho Nigger," renamed at tho request of tho censors of various States and cities. Tho story of tho play Is most thrilling and follows: Philip Morrow, maeter ot Morrow's Jlest. an olel-fashloncd Southern plantation, lien been trough, up and grown to manhood In tre teller that tl blood In hie vcln.i Is the true Htralii.

the most arlstocritle of ire Soith. Tfv.urd the Negroes on his plantation he Is kind, with the patronizing air or a man wl.o Inows that he holds their deatlnles In hln hands. At tho beginning of tho drama Morrow Is Sheriff of his county, popular aid engaged to the belle of the State, lieorslbna Bvr Morrow tries to wive, for the law, a Negro. Joe White, the offspring of rhlllp'e old "Mammy" Jinny, whom a mob wants to lynch for "the usual crime." as one of tho characters calU It. nut he Is powerless, and Vt'hlto lays tho penalty.

Clifton NoyeB, distiller and polttlca' boss, persuades Morrow to run for Governor. Morrow Is elected on tho "Jlqucr tlcku." Soon after he assumes ortlM tace riots occur. Whites nnd blacks. Inl'Jined by lln'jur, kill each other. Tho militia In called out.

Morrow Is convinced that wntiky Is at tha lotion, of tho "Negro question." If decile, therefore, to sign a prohibition till Intro-Jut e.l ly Senator Long, his nolltl al tipiu-nent. The signing of the bill, of course, means that Noyes will be "wiped out." Noyes visits Morrow, and In a powerful scene he accuses him of being a traitor to his party. "We elected you on your name and party loyalty nnd the saloon vote," he thundersj you're a damned turncoat." Morrow Is firm and then Noyes springs the trap. He has In his possession facta that show that Morrow's grandfather had a "yaller girl. After his wife's death Morrow's grandfather sold the "yaller girl" down the river to Orleans.

But her child he kept, substituting It for his own dead Infant whose birth caused his wife's death. He did this to keep the property from going to another branch of tho family. Noyes uses his Knowledge as a club to' keep Morrow from signing the prohibition bill. "To' grandmothah was a nlggah. Phil, and you're a nlggah too, Now you've got It square between the eyes." he exclaims.

Morrow Is staggered. Ho demands proof. It Is at hand: not only In the form of letters; but In the person of "Mammy" Jinny, mother ot the negro who was lynched. She Is a sister of the ancestral Morrow's yaller gal and knows ine wnoie story, nut even in tno nour or nis supreme trial Morrow Is stanch to what he believes to be the right. He signs the bill and tells the truth to Georglana, She renounces him.

but later pleads 'with him to go North with her, where the taint In his blood will not be known. Morrow, however. Is firm In his renunciation ot all that means happiness to him. Ho declares that he will resign his office Commenelnr Tomorrow Inaugural ot PHOTO PLAY SEASON TUB BUPEnn PHOTO-SPKCTACLE.
