Movies In the churches of the comity are being considered by the Wayne County 8nnday school association. Officials of the organisation have com munlcated with pastors and boards of churches in Richmond and outlying districts asking their attitude toward the purchase of a motion picture machine to be used in rotation by congregations applying money toward its purchase. Films of a highly educative nature are obtainable for reproduction in connection with Sunday school .lessons and the studies of young people's societies. Because they would get the UBe of the machine at such Infrequent intervals Richmond churches are inclined to refuse to participate In Its purchase, but a movement is being started to purchase an instrument for
local church work. " It Is probable, how
ever, that one or more churches may
see their way clear to purchase ma

5CENI; Wxm "WHEH SECOMPS COUNT"
When Seconds Count" Is surely an
'appropriate title for the motion picture production in which the scene shown 'above appears. Not only were seconds a matter of great Importance when the
feat was performed, but even a small fraction of a ' second's miscalculation might have resulted seriously.
The thrill shown in the picture was
inspired by an unusual location near
Jthe Kalem California studio, at which
e railroad pictures are made. Here
railroad tracks cross diagonally,
the director evolved a story In
Helen Gibson, lashed to a faand-
y a band of crooks, is sent speed -
'down grade while a train tears
on the other track. A crash
s certain, or, that falling, there Is
terrible danger of the handcar be-
ig ground to shreds under the wheels
ot the speeding train. There is little
wonder that an entire morning was
(spent In rehearsing and perfectly tim
ing the scene by tbe use of a handcar loaded with sandbags , before 4 Helen
was allowed to attempttthe feat. v
"When Seconds Count", is an episode
jln the "Hazards of Helen," tbe Kalem
railroad series. Released from prison,
(three crooks board a freight train to
iget as far from the scene of their past
Ideeds as possible. They are thrown

They set upon her, and she Is soonj bound and gagged. Incensed by her refusal to divulge the combination of the . safe and by her strenuous resistance, they carry her to a handcai on. the siding and after binding her start it down grade. The' weight' ofj the car and Helen carries It down the tracks at great speed, while the crooks return to the task, of opening tbe safe. . It Is. then that the action of the picture reaches its climax as we see the train on the other track and the hand, car nearing a crash that seems unavoidable. By a freak of luck Helen passes ' between the . front and rear

SUNDAY. In producing "An Enemy to Society" at the Palace tomorrow for the screen, the Columbia Pictures Corporation has
given photoplay lovers a picture that
will have a wide appeal in Its unusual
combination of romantic interest, mystery, intrigue and life in the upper strata of the underworld. The theme

inal story by George Bronson Haward, deals with the kidnapping of the infant son of Stephen Janissary whose
ruthless financial operation have ruined; Baltbazer Van Tromp and the re
venge wnicn .van Tromp taaes in bringing up the child to be an enemy
to society. How the lad under an
other name becomes a modern Robin
Hood, robbing the rich-to give to the poor, and how in the end be is regerat-
ed and comes into his own through
love of a 'beautiful woman, makes a story which for enthralling interest
