Andrew Carnegie In Motion Picture Steelmaster Is Photographed in "Movie" Company Studio. XEW YORK, Jan. 24 In a few' cays Ki.Oihj moving picture houses ail parts of the country will ne able both to hear and see Andrew Carnegie on tne screen. Although lie wi rilmed and recorded" only hist Monday at the Kdison studio, arrangements were completed today by the Kdlsoi company to distribute the liitt 1 "tirst-run reels" and the first l'Mi0 which are to follow as fast as they can be developed through the leneral Film Company of this city.

Mr. Carnegie was told tody that if iie wished a special "run" of the picture would be made for his benefit in the General Film Company's officts before the pictures are sent out to the distributing agencies. Ttie laird of Skibo was surprised to. learn that the film record had been perfected for projection so quickly and announced that at the first mome.it possible he would drop into the General Film Company's projection room, where all turns are passed by the national board of censorship before being "released." It is not considered probable that the board will "turn down" the lalrd's phonographic lecture on the beatific aspects of peace. The librarians of several Carnegie libraries in nearby cities made requests on the Edison company and General Film Company today for copies of the "release," which they wish to place on file so that future generations mav know what Carnegie looked like and hear, as if he were in the flesh, lecture on The film company tody also offered a copy of the records to the Government for filing in the archives along with the moving pictures of Panama canal, the inauguration of President Wilson and other events of national importance.

FILMDOM GOSSIP THE OLYMPIC. Tli bom at tha plp organ, as this theater Is known, will glvs tia is.trons a real treat Monday. "Absinths," a four-reel feature, will tie shown. The management deserves much credit in 'booking this big special, as this will be the first run of this picture In Pittsburgh. The absinthe fiend 4s enacted by King Bag- St and his unfaithful wife is played by Leaii alrd.

Without a question it is the greatest role that iir. Bag-got has appeared in up to date, and Miss Baird Is disclosed as an emotional actress of the highest type. The story Is rag-la in theme, marking the awful and Inevitable consequences that follow the cultivation of the absinthe. The drink absinthe to Franca bears almost the same relation as opium does to the Chinese nation. It is used toy the high and low in France and might almost be called the national drink.

Used mildly It acts in the same way that whisky does, but when used to excess it takes a firip upon the victim that Is more difficult to oosen than perhaps any other drug, not excepting morphine and opium- America, relegating it to the same class as these latter drugs, has legislated against Us Importation-Other nations have followed in Its wake and at the present time France is contemplating drastic laws forbidding its manufacture and sale. Herbert Brenon Is the director of the picture. In an accidental way lie was brought into contact with some of the terrible victims of this drug and had the opportunity of observing some of the awful tragedies, and it was this that suggested the play. To better acquaint himself with the habits an absinthe fiend and to secure the proper roameut, Mr. Baggot went down Into the tenderloin district of Paris and lived for a week.

His studies brought results of a remarkable nature. For the first time In any notion picture the exact methods used by an absinthe tlend to prepare his drtnk and his conduct afterward will be -shown by him. While the drug has no hold upon the American the realistic portrayal should act as a moral lesson to ail and any against the use of alcohol and drugs in general. All of the scenes were taken in and about Paris. To take some of these, jthose that form one of the big climaxes of the third reel, the company made an excursion to the Bolg de Boulogne, one of the nation's most beautiful jiarka.

King Baggot as the artist, Jean ltumas, is seen lashing his horse into a gallop, anxious to get to a place in the woods where lie can strangle the woman who has betrayed htm. In the taking of the scene Mr. Bag-got was wounded by Miss Baird. who struck him a blow while resisting an attack of the supposed absinthe fiend. The emotional strain upon Miss Baird was terrific and she put herself so completely Into the part that she tainted twice during the taking.

Mr. Baggot sustained a badly lacerated lip and the loss of a tooth. Briefly the story is as follows: Jean la the son of parents of the middle class, wholesome and clean. Against the counsel of his father he pays attention to one of the servants of another household, a beautiful girl who seeks the pleasures of life beyond anything else. It is through this girl that be first becomes acquainted with the drug, absinthe.

It is while under its influence that he la Induced by hep to steal back into his father's house and rob him of his savings with which to nurchase tinttrv for her. Ilis mother is heartbroken, while his father, furious, drives his son from his house with Instructions never to return. Time elapses. The on Is now married to the adventuress. As Ions; as the money which he had stolen lasted, he was happy, though her husband continuously sank more deeply into the clutches of the habit which she taught him- The day cornea when he finds his pockets empty.

The wife leaves him for one who can satisfy her financial demands. Jean takes the road downward, and we soon find him in a desolate state, a drug fiend and a member of the Paris Apache gang. It Is while acting as a cab driver in a scheme to rob a couple spotted by his friends in the park that he finds his wife a passenger in his cab. Then follows the terrible ride along the Doulevard. out into the country and out Into the woods-lie leaves here for dead.

and. returning to his haunt, saturates himself with the drug to an extent that almost causes his death. Awakening the next morning, a sad wrck of his former manhood, he staggers though the streets back to his father's house. The meeting with his mother is a pathetio picture in the extreme. A more sad and impressive tragedy could hardly be imagined.

The father returns, faces the desolate boy and his heart breaks. Handing him a gun he sends the boy out into the streets, determined that he shall work out his own destiny. We leave the victim following alongJ behind a troop of soldiers, dragging the gun at his side and jeered at by the horde of waifs- The question of whether he conquers his weakness or not Is left open. There is a suggestion that he does and we like to think so, for after ail he was only an unhappy viotim of curcuni-Stances.

"The Days of Days" With Cyril Scott Famous Actor in Romantic Photo Drama. Cyril Soott, who won such sensational success in the steilar role of "The P. ince Chait," "The Lottery Man," and "Kuyal Mounted," makes motion picture debut in the production of the Famous Player Film Company, "The Iay of Days," the famous novel by Louis Jo-teph Vance, one of the foremost novelists of the day. Cyril Scott is ideally casv in "The Iav of Days." as a young booK- 1 keeper named Perceval, whom Fate chooses as the central character in one of the strangest plots ever woven about the lifu of the nietroivolis. The story is an extra vanganza of emotions, a kaltido-bcopic drama with New York at night as a background.

Louis Joseph Vance based this exciting novel on Oriental fatalism which assigns to each and every man his "Day of Day." wherein he shall range witn the skies and plumb the abyss of hib oestmy, alternately its lord ana its pup-ret. The story takes one from the lowly earth to the high peaks of romance. Perceval, who has led a terribly uneventful life, suddenly becomes tne hero of a chain of fascinating and fantastic adventures, as a resuit of which he wine fortune and love. Rarely have mare thrilling incidents been reproduced on the screen. Cyril Pcott renders one of the most interesting characterizations he has ever portrayed.

Trained Lion Attacks Star Bullet In Heart of Lion Saves Life of Kerrigan. During the taking of a scene In the film production of "Samson" at the ranc'h of the Universal P'ilm Manufacturing Company, a trained lion became enraged and sprang upon J.

Warren Kerrigan, who was playing the title role. Only the timely action of J. Farrell MacDonald, the director, in shooting the beast through the heart saved the well-known actor's life. Air. Kerrigan rose from the ground covered with olood, iirat not seriously injured.

The Uon's claws inflicted deep scratches upon his right forearm and shoulders and one of the talons narrowly missed tear-ins into his jugular vein. Tne Hon died almost instantly. The mis'hap took place in the scene in which the youthful Bajn-son comes to close quarters with the kins' of ibeasts and breaks its jaws. For two months animal trainers had been busy with the lion, preparing It for this scene. The lion was acquired iby the film company on the strength of ita beauty.

Its reputation toeing amenable to trainers and its more than ordinary Intelligence. The ardmai had been put t'nrough the scene tby trainers more than half a hundred times and Mr. Kerrigan had even renearsed with it. On no occasion had I it beconw omnia nagable. Mr.

MaciDonald, the director, nan planned that Mr. Kerrigan should open the lion's jaws with his bare hands and then carry out thej struggle with it; and that the motion picture camera, should then stop a moment, when the Uon was to be aiugged. The picture was then to continue until the ibeast was overcome by the narcotic when Samson shouid throw it from him apparently dead. The scene was stased upon an animal stage. Samson came forth and met the lion.

As it snarled at him he ran forward and took its massive jaws in his hands. AH went well until a physician pricked the neast with a hypodermic needle for the purpose of injecting the narcotic. Mr. Kerrigan 'held it by the jaws. As the ntedi-e penetrated, the beast quivered, then without an anticipation it sprang DacK-ward with a roar.

Then, surrounded by $00 people, it sprang upon Mr. Kerrigan and knocked him to the ground. It raised ons paw to strike but the blow-never fell. At close quarters Mr. MaciDonald fired a 38-caiiber" automatic revolver an4 the ibuiiet penetrated the lion's heart.

An instant afterwards two more large caliber bullets penetrated the beast's head. These shots were fired by Joseph Florea and William Gettinger, two cowboys in the, pmniov of the film comraJiv who were standing by well armed for any emer-i gency. The lion threw its head In the air but its roar riled hair uttered and tne animal, sank down upon Mr. Kerrigan. The body of the lion was hurriedly removed and Mr.

He is not successful, and returns to miserable little home, finding Eva longing for happiness. Cold and hungry, with grim detern nation, ha goes out again, this time without a scruple as to how he gets money.

As he walks by a building which la in the course of construction he Is attracted by a letter lying on the ground. Ordinarily he would not have read it, but now he picks It up, reads it and sees that it is a note from the superintendent of the ljulldlng. giving the foreman Mr. Instructions to draw pounds for the pay-roll. This temptation is too much for the hard-pressed man, who determines to waylay the foreman by hiding behind a hedge by which he must pass.

Jack Hinton, a youn carpenter who 13 working on. the building of which Caversham Is foreman, breaks his ciiiac-l while- at work, and puts It into his vest pocket, and shortly afterward prepares to go home, when he is met by his sweetheart. May Caversham, the foreman's daughter. While he is making love to her the foreman appears, is very angry and dismisses 'Jack at once, da-spite the young man's and May's pleading. Jack can hardly believe that Caversham is reall as severe as he seems and so follows him.

Meanwhile Caversham approaches tb.2 hedge, behind which Jim Is hiding. Jim i3 about to spring out upon the foreman when he sees Jack following him; Jim immediately draws back. Jack pleads with the foreman to let him marry May, but the father is unrelenting, taunting Jack with his poverty. Hot words follow, which end in blows. The foreman clasps Jacy by the shoulders.

Jack resists him, and in the struggle the broken chisel, in jack's vest pocket, cuts Into the foreman's sida. penetrating the heart. Bending over the recumbent body. Jack Is horriiied at finding that he is dead, lie runs oil wildly for help, while Jim emerges from the hedge, snatching' the 100 pounds from the foreman's pocket and running away. The police finding the body, identify the broken chisel as Jack's.

The fact that the men have quarreled is brought out; Jack Is arrested and charged with manslaughter, and sentenced to 10 years' penal servitude. Jim, with the 100 pounds, which he" has stolen, takes Eva to, Broadstairs, a quiet seaside resort, for the 4octor said that unless she had a change of air, she would die. Jim would be quhe content were It not that he is continually troubled by remembering that his testimony could have cleared Jack, since he knows that Jack did not use the chisel as a weapon. Jim tries to think, however, that he was Justified in taking th money and keeping quiet for the sake of bis sick ohlld. Jack, serving his sentence at Broadmoor prison, makes his escape.

He and another convict overpower a guard and they run down a great steep cliff which surrounds Broadmoor. A dozen times they are in danger of 'being dashed to death in their mad flight, but Jack finally gets away by releasing a captive balloon and climbing into it; he Is followed by one of his pursuers, who also gets Into the balloon. Jack then climbs out, slides down the rope, Jumping into the sea, and swims to shore, where he hides in an old shack. May learns of hl hiding place and writes him, warning him that the police are on his trail, ut as she is about to post the letter to him she Is caught by detectives, who telegraph the police at Broadstairs to watch the pnstofilce. Jack, out of funds and very despondent, approaches the pnstofflce ir hope of finding a letter and money from May.

Is undoubtedly one of the best ever presented. No detail, from the washing and shredding of the rag stock to the packing of the finished paper has been overlooked. The observer is taken through the mills of one of the most famous paper manufacture! a.

Among the interesting views are those which show the mixing of the pulp and the process which watermarks the finished sheets of paper. "Making High Giade Paper" Is of decidedly educational value. To be a popular actress has Its great delights and satisfactions and causes many an exultant heart throb, but also has occasioned many a sigh.

Marguerite Snow's return to the Thau-houser Motion Picture Company after an absence of six months is announced by President C. J. Hite. As the star in the great Thanhouser production of H.
