Miss Kormand, of Keystone Mabel, as ahe Is perhaps better known, is not only a very beautiful woman, but an exceptionably clever one. Her title, "The Dare devil of the Movies" is a well earned one. For nowhere can one see the remarkable escapades, hair breadth escapes, daredevil rides (whether they be in an aeroplane or auto racer), in motion pictures, as are depicted by this screen favorite.

Her fame is world wide. Even in far off Australia Mabel Xormand is as popular as with the movie fans of America. One of her most remarkable accom plishments is the fact that even in the most rough and tumble parts this little dare devil manages to retain her dainty, immaculate, spick and span an pearance. Unquestionably, this Is one of her many, many charms. She is a orunette with dark brown eyes, a fine, athletic figure, and in every movement shows strength, vitality and the Joy of living.

Every muscle is firm and her movements are as graceful and suppde as a bird's. She swims as tnougn water were made for her "THE REWARD OF THRIFT" FILM WITH EDUCATIONAL VALUE The Vitagraph company has just completed two or three more films that might be classed as philanthrODic in their uplift and the power they will exercise in pointing out to the masses what they can do to help themselves and the willingness of others to help tnem do it. "The Reward of Thrift," which was produced under the auspices of the American Bankers' asso ciation, will be released in the near future. It points out the virtue and reward of putting aside for a rainy day and keepiing the wolf from the door in the hour of necessity. "The Gang" is another one of these uplift pictures, exploiting the reforma tory systems practiced by the chil dren's courts; boys, who have been de nied proper home influences and the proper environments.

It shows their training on farms and in disciplinary schools and how they are taught good citizenship and how they are elevated to a higher sphere. CRIMMINS AND GORE IN "MOVIE" ROLES Dan Crimmins and Rosa Gore, of the old varsity team' of Crimmins and Gore, who have made vaudeville audi ences laugh for the past twenty years, have been engaged by the Vitagraph company to appear in a series of comedy pictures similar in treatment to their recognized line of work on the regular stage. While the team have appeared individually in pictures, they have never worked for the same firm at the same time, and are looking forward with pleasure to their present engagement with the Vitagraph company. The lirst picture in which they will appear will be "Officer Kate," the most laughable conceit in the picture produced the directorship of Ned Fin ley. VALUABLE FILMS WERE DESTROYED IN IMP FIRE "An Old Rag Doll," a one reel drama, was among the negatives destroyed in the recent Imp It was produced under the direction of and written by Herbert Brenon.

On Mr. Brenon's return from Alabama, where he spent two weeks In securing a much needed rest, he immediately commenced to retake the picture.

It is from the pen of Harvey Gates, author of numerous film successes, and tells the story of a deafj composer of music ind girl who. (responsible for his BY BILL STEINKB.

I had ten full barrels of fun on Saturday night for ten measly cents. Honest, you wouldn't believe it, but It's a regular fact, una what's more, these tea cents don't include the dime I gave to hobo who said he was from Depew. X. neither does it include the other dime I put in the old fiddler's. Tou see it was this way, the time was 6 o'clock, the jingle in my pockets told me there was thirty cents in them, the night was too far away to go to bed and I wasn't sleepy either like a fellow with such few cents ought to be on a Saturday night.

A little of the old fashioned arithmetic on my pad told me that five goes in to thirty, six times, that suggested six five cent "Movie" shows averaging four reels a piece which makes twenty four reels multiplied by a thousand feet each makes just twenty four thousand feet of "reel" life to be seen for thirty cents. Welt so far off I starts and goes tnto the Wonders, the main office of Michael Comerford, the local movie magnate.

Mike told me confidentially that five of his best custo mers are Tom Duffy the lawyer, John Ourkln, John Qulnnan, the lawyer, Ben Samter, the clothier, and John Jabey, erstwhile sheriff of Lackawanna county. I wouldn't call them movie bugs because that ain't polite, but. by gosh. I can say they re regulars. Well I waited a long time for the Bishop's Carriage to show up but it never came, that's only the name of the show, so I beat it over to the Manhattan, it was in this place that I laughed my head off.

I couldn't help it. a guy and another fellow both of them looked like they didn't amount to much (in the movies, of course) went out walking with a dame, one led her by the arm and the other led her dog by the string, anyway, they got kidding each other and the dog "mozles" away, and then she says she'll marry the guy that finds the dog. you can't hear her say this but it's a fact The list of it is that the one guy gets a dJLan.

I feel sorry for the poor gum, there musta been five sticks in it. Since I did that my trousers won't stick to me and more; they'd rather stick to the chair I'm sitting on. According to the Orpheum movies, we were now in France, witnessing "The Mystery of the Fast Mail," and then there was another, entitled, "A Ticket to Happiness." According to the price they paid to get to that "Happiness" in the movies dt must be some distance. All the further I could go at that time, with what I had, would be Minooka, the home of "Stop the Clock" Walsh. "That's good stuff the Is running," said Mr.

"The Million Dollar Mystery" was on tap, the "Romance" of something was just finishing up.

Bill Flan nery was sitting in the corner where nobody could see him. Jess Franklin and his best, from Dalton, were holding down seats. Benjamin, the electrician, was just coming in, and Mart Kennedy was making for the exit. Dr. Allwen was enjoying a standlng rotm seat, and so on.

I had my hands full, trying to keep an eye on all of them but I managed to watch them look for the million dollars. Honest, when those detectives went through that luxurious house and looked in every crack, under every picture in every keyhole in every gas jet that's the only thing I have to criticise so far how can you shove a million dollars in a keyhote Will you or Harold MaoGrath tell me? I tried i witn a suver aouer, ana nonest, now, "It can't be done." They were looking for the million and they hadn't found it when the reel finished, but, who knows, they might find it this week it's an awful mystery. A new act opened just as I walked into the Hippedrome. An uncle, it seemed, came ln and surprised his dissipated nephew, and gives the chap Just one month to get buckled up, or nothing doing on any more cash. Well, sir, the guy had some time in getting a partner, but in the eleventh hour (like a regular fairy tale) he nabs a queen of a baby and she said "Tes." Honest, you could almost hear her say it.

Remember what Mike Comerford told about Durkin and them fellows. Here they are Just going out and ready for the next. They had a new one with them, Reardon, the advertising man. The next film was a "The Royal Survivor" that was a sort of sobbing stunt where the light house fellow sees a ship burning at sea and sends out an alarm to the villagers and Just as they were shoving the life boat out, Victor Burchel comes strolling along and instead of going out with the life savers, he sat down and watched them. Two minutes later I found myself in darkest Africa with lions and leopards and savages.

No Charlie Savages, though, and a bunch of people that called themselves Hon hunters for the Blxby circus of America. It was called "Prowlers of the Wild." Everything was wild, even the cheer Oh. I forgot to mention that the name of the theater is the Victoria. It was here I met Tommy Davis, the first moving picture operator in New Tork and Pennsylvania. That's over fourteen years ago and he's been with us in Scranton here for the last eight years.

He works every day and runs close to a mile of films every hour that he works, can you imagine that? Mike Gallagher is very proud of his force, in Paul Carey he has the champion rewind boy in town; in Dick Beers, he finds an officer who is the essence of everything that is good and last but not least, in Miss Pauline Mooney, he has a young lady of the highest degree who knows her business as a ticket seller better than Gallagher himself. It was now 11 o'clock, my thirty cents were gone, I had a "reel" good time, the pictures I saw were "reel" good and people in the pictures, whele they couldn't talk, looked 'reel" natural. After all this ''reel" fun I eame back to the office to do a little "reel" work. HEKLEf 41 DIRECTOR.
