A fleet of traveling movie theaters
—specially built auto trucks carrying
nil the necessary appliances—will
shortly be cruising over the United
States to show one half of the country
how the other half works.
The flag ship of this fleet, a truck
named Victory, will feave New York
in a few days for a tour of the New
England states. When this roving
motion picture theater arrives in a j
city, arrangements for its shows will
have been made in advance by city
officials, chamber of commerces, la
bor leaders, community center or
other organization. All the crew of
the Victory will have to do is set
up the portable screen, start the elec
tricity generator and unleash the pro
jection machine.
Perhaps a performance will be in a
factory at noon, or in school or muni
cipal auditorium. If it is to be in a
public street or park, the projector
of course, will not open its fiery eye
until after darkness.
If the exhibition is, say, at a silk
mill, the workers would be shown
one film picturing silk worms working
overtime to supply New England fac
tories with raw material. If the audi
ence is of steel workers, they would
view the men on the other end of the
job—the miners deep in the earth’s
treasure chest, then the laborers
among the inferno of smelter fires.
Before a mixed crowd in a park
:
films of varied interest would be
thrown on the screen. There surely
would be one picture on public health,
showing the needlessness ot tubercu-i
losis, how the lives of babies can be
saved, or the ways to avoid typhoid
fever. If the night be hot perhaps j
the audience would like a trip to the
land of the Eskimo, to the Alps, to
Alaska or through the Colorado can
yon. The truck will carry such a
variety of films that an audience can
have most anything it asks for.
Seven other trucks, now being com
pleted, will wander the highways and
byways in other parts of the country,
carrying knowledge to the most out
of-the-way corners of the land.
Tn Kansas villages or crossroads
centers the farmers will view what be
comes of a kernel of wheat after it,
leaves the farm for the grain ele
vator.
After a truck leaves a western
mining town the miners from then
on may, as they toil low in the earth,
picture to themselves the interesting
destinies of the raw material they are
wringing from nature.
Cowboys on lonely ranches will
learn that the adventures of a steer
are only beginning when he is driven
up the chute into the cattle car.
These movie Mahomets will literally
go to the mountain wherever it can
be found.
Dr. Francis Holley is head of the
bureau of commercial economics,
which is behind this educational film
campaign. The bureau is purely al
truistic, making no profit on its
films. America’s leading men con
tribute to its support.
During the course of his bureau
work Dr. Holley came in contact
with Harry Levey, manager of Uni
\et;s:il’s Industrial Department. a!
strong friendship followed, and Dr.1
Volley secured for the bureau’s
library thousands of feet of industrial
films produced under Mr. Levey’s
supervision in the last seven years.
The bureau now has the largest film
library in the world—21,000,000 feet
of film on almost every conceivable
subject, travel, nature, industrial,
health, history, science, etc.
FRENCH MILITARY HERO
POPULAR WITH PEOPLE
i , —*—
PARIS, Aug. 21 (by mail).—When
ever the figure of General de Castle
nau, victor of the Grand Couronne of
Nancy which made possible the first
battle of the Marne, is thrown on the
screen, in a moving picture theater
here, which is displaying pictures of
the Victory procession in Paris, July
14, the spectators rise, cheer and
shout “Marshal.”
It is an expression of their demand j
that De Castlenau should be a marshal
of France. When the marshals were
being created, De Castlenau was over
looked. Some say that the papers
to make him a marshal were drawn
tip for signature but were rejected
in the highest quarter.

DOINGS OF WILHELM
NO LONGER INTEREST
CROWDS OF CURIOUS
i
AMERONGEN, Holland, Aug. 15
(Correspondence of Associated Press)
—A few bicycling tourists occasion
ally stop and peer through the gates
of the Bentinck estate in hope of
catching a glimpse of the former Ger
man emperor, but were it not for
them and for the presence of the state
police guards who languidly pace
up and down the road about the castle
walls, Amerongen would seem to have
completely forgotten that William
Hohenzollern was in voluntary exile
there.
The doings of the former ruler and
his small “court” inside the castle
have ceased even to ue a topic of vil
lage gossip.
Once a week, perhaps, someone
may mention him, wondering how
long he will be in Holland, and then
ensues a series of weightily-expressed
judicial opinions, the gist of which is
that Amerongen does not believe the
allies will ever attempt to bring him
to trial at all, and that William of
Hohenzollern will settle down and be
come a Dutch country gentleman. It
is seldom that real information re
garding his doings trickles out from
the walls and moats of the estate.
