THE WASHINGTON TIMES, SATURDAY, 6, 1914. AILY AGAZI AGES FOR EVERYBODY THE BEST Photoplay Department in WASHINGTON Public to Be Invited to Write Last Act of New Mystery Photoplay 0.3 of the most curious experiments in psychology the psychol-osy of the crowd and the individual combined, is about to be tried in photoplay for the purpose of interesting the public in a very big production, perhaps the biggest that has yet been attempted. The proposition is nothing more or less than to present a big serial play without a last act a story without a last chapter And let somebody in the crowd that sees all the pictures all the story supply the conclusion. The plan is one of the simplest and boldest that has ever been attempted, and it avoids theo to the usual prize story contort In that there is no guesswork or puzzle about it. The entire story has been written and is being producedall of It except the last chapter.

The man, ho has written the Hory hasn't the slightest idea how to end It. He is not paid to end it. The pictures are to be shown and the public Invited. Individually, to write an end. The best ejidliu thus obtained vvill Ikj used to Uiilsli the story and the play.

And the person who writes it will be paid the sum of 10.000 for his or he- work. That Is the plan, and it Is promise-1 tfiat the plan will be carried out to the letter The author of the plan is Charles HItc. pres'dent of the Film Company. Mr. Hite one of the best known men in the film business.

He was an exchange man for many years, and studied carefully the taste of the public at lepresented by the way in which people liked the films his concern handled. He was one of the first n.tn to get the idea that the real X-i osperity of the business ie-1 ended upon finding out what th r.Mic likes and supplying When he became one of the big factors in the Mutual Corporation and the Thanhouser Company, lie decided thai he would utilize the first ap-rortunltj to give the public a c'lance to show how it wanted plav to be written. It would be a ery difficult thing to start a prize contest for plays because the tastes of the people in plays dider, and it would not be fair to people who like one class of plays to select for tho prize one of another. class. So he decided to have part of his plav written and to let the public writi the other part.

Harold MacGratb, the author of "The Man on the Box," "The Adventures of Kathlyn," and many other popular stories, was chosen to write the- better part of the play and. Mr. Hite organized a cast that included Marguerite Snow ana aires Cruze. with Lloyd Lonergan js director, to act it. The story-has been called "The Million Dollar Mystery." and it has been falrlv-well produced bv now, as the firt two reels are to be shown two weeks from next Monday, June The play Is to be put out in serial form, two reels at a time, to i.c shown weekly until it has all been reduced.

The scenes for it hate een photographed in various sections of the country, and -some extraordinary personages have been introduced in the cast.

Hite to have no ending for the story having aroused unusual curiosity anions I-eople of all sorts and conditions. The plan is unique for a sreat many reasons. It will be necessary for everyone who intends to compete for the big prize by writing an ending to the story, to see every reel that 13 shown and for this reason the part of the story that has been written has been made as iatertlng as possible to hold attention.

The competition for this purpose is open to everybody and there will be but one prize. A board of judges will be appointed to pass upon, the final chapters that have been ofTered.

They meet, Jones, who Invites tho widow to go for a ride in his new automobile.

She gets Into the auto and they drive off. leaving Bunny swearing vengeance. Jones makes love to the "widow, and carelessly steers vnder an overhanging tree. The widow's hat is pulled off and ruined. Jones sees a beautiful creation in a millinery store window, trimmed with an assortment of pompons, and orders it sent to the widow's house.

The hat is jriven to a. boy to deliver, and he stops at Bunny's drug store for a soda. While thero he sees a fight going on outside, and da3hesout. Seeing the address and Jones' card on the box. Bunny takes a peep at the hat, and determines to put a quietus on the undertaker's hopes.

He quickly rips off tho pompons, strings a lot or sponges around the crown, with a big one on top, covers them with talcum powder, and puts the whole affair back in the box. The boy delivers the hat and the widow, delighted, puts It on and starts out for a stroll. sudden downpour of rain makes the widow's hat a. sight. The sponges are swollen enormously, and everyone she meets bursts into laughter.

She Is puzzled and angry, but at home, sees in the mirror, the reason. Jones calls that evening and asked how she liked the hat. she says ironically. "It was asvvell affair."

AR BACK In one corner of tho pantry. In the old barn where Mrs. Tabby and the four lit tle Tabby kitty children In Tabbyland, there was a great big barrel. And on the side. In great big letters, almost as tall as Tommy Tabtiy, was written ono word, "SUGAR." The outside of the barrel had two hoops about it, one at the top and another at the bottom.

With theso two hoops as steps, the naughty Tabbies used to up and, swaying on the cdg scoop down with their paw.s anJ gee the sugar. But it was not always easy. "I never saw such a hocse," whined Tommy to hfs little kitty brother on uulet morning. sugar barrel Is jrst about empty.

"that she would make some soon. Measles took all of her time, she told Mrs. Hicks, and anyhow are just about able to eat sweet things." "Well. It wouldn't be so bad" Tom grinned a naughty grin, just as if he had thought of some trick to play "If we could reach down in the sugar barrel now." Ulnkle looked very surprised. "What's the matter with It? Tho sugar is hard lo reach, but I can get It." Tcm merely grinned again In a way that made Blnkie angry.

For It looked as If Tom meant that Binkie could not reach It. "You had best keep away from tho barrel," said Tom, still grinning. By this time Binkie was really mad, and Chinese Women Progressive By M. From the New York Times. Ten years ago the Chinese woman suffered from unklndliness.

Ten years ago all of tho Chinese Jwomen lived under the discord "hatching matriarchal system, where the primary wife, however ignorant and unreasonable, held unquestioned sway over secondary wives, daugh-tcrs-ln-Iaw, daughtcis, and slave girls. Today the graduates of American schools and seminaries are demanding their own homes, the control of their own children, and a full voice in the economy of their homes.

"I'll get some of that sugar" he said to himself, "or know the reason why." He scratched and scrambled up the side, and then stood, swaying back and forth en the edge.

The house was very quiet, lie scooped down with ono paw. He hung on by one front paw. and one hind paw and scooped again, but it was once too often. He lost his hold, pulled for a minute or two. and then fell-plump Into the bottom of the barrel.

At first he was rather pleased. The sugar was very low, and he ate Just as fast as he could. Then feeling a little full, he decided to try to get out. But prowl about as he might, he could find no hoops. THE BARREL WAS SMOOTH OX THE INSIDE! He felllback aghast, and his whiskers, covered with sugar trembled In a plaintive little cry.

"Oh. that Tom Tabby! Oh, what a bad kitty boy he is!" And Binkie broke down and cried. He saw now that Tom's words were Just a trap to get hlra caught. By and by he grew very tired. His little legs ached from jumping, his back was sort from bumping, and the gritty sugar was all up his clothes and in his fur.

And he felt so sick that he decided never to, eat anything sweeA again. His head drooped, and he was Just about to drop off to sleep when he thought he heard a noise on the outside of the barrel. He looked up, and sure enough over the edge was Tom's grinning face. "Hello, sweetheart," he whispered. Binkie did not answer, but looked daggers at him.

"Want me to take you out. Sugar JUimp?" he giggled again, while the tears stole down Binkle's fale. "Want me to" he stopped short and disappeared, and in place Binkie saw his mother. She leaned over and took him out. for she had TWO spankings to deliver! VAN NORDEN.

The courage of Chinese women in times of danger is nroverbiaL It is recorded how centuries ago Fuklen Province wna Invade r.v n. hnrdo province was invaded-bv a horde north. Most of killed in battle. The few who remained were ready to surrender.

This, under the ancient code of war, meant death for them and slavery for the women. Then arose a great woman leader, who organized her sex Into regiments of fighters. Weapons -werj hastily forged, and the army of Amazons advanced against the enemy. The ensuing battle was terrific. From sunrise to sunset it was vvp.ged.

With each onslaught of the Invaders, the women fought with greater determination. At last, with fearful loss of life, the Infuriated Fukiens swept forward like a great avalanche, driving the strangers ngainst a mighty mountain wall, where all were slain. Work Unorganized. By way of recognition for their bravery, the Emperor sent the women of that region 1.0CO.P00 husband3 from the north of China, and gave them permission for all time to wear in their hair two silver swords and a silver spear, which they do to this day. As I have already Intimated, the woman's movement in China has so far been entirely unorganized.

It has bsen left to tho local influence of the mission utatlons and to the splendid mettle cf the men. An anti-footblnding society exists, it is true, and it has accomplished something, but vory little when compared with the well organized anti-opium movement. The prevalent Men that the Chinese are slow to take up new thoughts is absolutely without foundation. On the contrary, when the Chinese are convinced tha a change Is for the better, they push it with astounding vigo. Those who complain of Chinese conservatirm aro usually those who have failed at foisting on them some spurious sSheme.
