MOTION PICTURE GROWTH. The rapid growth of the business of producing motion pictures has brought forward new groups of picture makers to succeed the older companies and because of the superiority of their productions they have risen to big plans almost within a few months. A notable instance is the Metro Pictures corporation whose progress in twelve months has placed it at the very top as a producer of great photo dramas. The Metro group Includes four great producing companies, namely, Columbia. Rolfe Photoplays, Inc., Popular Plays and Players and the Quality Pictures corporation. The Metro distributes the intlre picture produce of these companies and their star list includes such notable players as Francis X. Bushman. Mme. Petrova, Beverly Bayne, Ethel Barrymore; Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew, Harold Lockwood, May Allison, Marguerite Snow. Emily Stevens, Viola Dana, Mary Miles Minter, Edmund Breese, Hamilton Revelle, Mabel Tai iaferro and other distinguished artists. President Richard A. Rowland, the leader of the Metro group, anticipated the demand for newer, bigger, better productions and as a result Metro wonderplays have achieved great popularity among the better class of motion picture patrods. It Is Metro's policy never to send out a picture that does not pass four , tests. These requirements are good, powerful and entertaining stories, real action and direction, fine photography, and satisfactory acting from the star to the humblest player. Metro produces the pictures known as features and in addition releases the now famous Metro-Drew comedies. The Metro studios of which there are six are located in New York, in Los Angeles, and in Jacksonville. Fla. A weekly publication, The Picture Magazine, is devoted entirely to stories about Metro plays and players and its circulation has grown to a million a week. Metro's success in the art of motion pictures is an example of American enterprise. Just a year old ' its pictures are shown in all the countries of the world, and its progress is a tribute to American brains, artistry and energy.
