to it that he just doesn't pay

true to the air waves, but his summer
as a theatrical star almost
made him wish that he'd gone on

If you believe?along with a lot
sf other people?that the movies are
still in their infancy, pause and consider
the fact that recently, in New
fork, a plaque was unveiled on the
wall of the building now standing

rical motion picture was screened
The machine that made that showng
possible was Thomas Edison's
ifitascope, and his daughter, Mrs.
loen E. Sloan, unveiled the plaque

Another fact that brings home the
-ealization that the movies have
seen in existence for quite some
ime is the presence, in the cast of
XKO's "Gunga Din," of a young
woman named Fay McKenzie. She
