the innovation of moving pictures and
the more skeptical said it could never
take the place of the legitimate. Act
ors and esses scoffed at the idea of
playing a dumb part that would sim
ply be flashed for a second on a scren
to be viewed by but a few.
Like all things new, the business of
moving pictures had to work its way
by slow degrees to success until today
it has reached a magnitude for beyond
the conception of tlie most optimistic
and has brought joy and pleasure to
millions of people in every known
country.
With the evolution of moving pic
tures came the episode or continued
story series that also met with a cold
shoulder at first but which have be
come firmly fixed as a distinct ad
junct to the business and absolutely
necessary to meet the demands and
whims of the movie fan, who are
j countless. A detailed resume of the
■ episode period is superfluous. There
j may be some dispute over the father
| of the thought but to Madam Scheher
| azade goes the honor of being called
| its mother, and in all she has turn
j ed out over 1000 episodes without a
1 failure.
In the march to success the episode
idea has seen somcreroarkablechanges
—for instance/ where the first run
I brought $15 a day, exhibitors are now
I paying as high as $1000 a week for the
j privilege. Fortunes have been made
i and spent on the productions; in some
| instances the serial has cost thousands
and thousands of dollars to produce
and taken many months of rehearsals
to bring it to perfection.
The leading parts in serial pictures
are often fraught with great danger
and exposure. This is necessary to
get the necessary thrills and hold the
interest of the excited audience to a
pitch of anxiety and expectancy.
The production of serials has made
several stars and brought them word
wide reputation. In this there are
stars and stars, many of them house
hold heroes and heroines who are con
tinually before the public and have
reached a state of notoriety equalled
only by the president or Ty Cobb.
Maude Adams, Julia Opp, Christie
MacDonald, Louise Gunning, Flaver
sham, Hackett, etc., exist only in mem
ory to the ardent movie lover. Pearl
White, Creighton Hale, Sheldon Lewis
and other have taken their place.
These stars have for the most part
made their reputations by the serial

productions; especially is this true of
Pearl White, whose daring and sensa
tional acting is the talk of the movie
picture world. She has appeared in
many successful productions such as
Exploits of Elaine, Pearils of Pauline,
Pearl of the Army and others, but in
the leading part in “The Iron Claw”
she is at her best and it truthfully
may be called her masterpiece.
In “The Iron Claw” Pearl White is
ably supported by such well known
and popular idols as Creighton Hale
and Sheldon Lewis. The pot of the
play is perfect in conception and writ
ten with the idea always in view of
keeping the audience in a state of ex
pectancy and excitement andanxiously
looking forward to the next chapter.
There is a stereotyped saying in fan
dom that once you see a serial picture
you look forward to the next episode
as anxiously as the American boy
looks forward to the last day of school.
The premier showing of the “Iron
j Claw” is tomorrow night, Saturday,
at the Harmony.
