Fitzgibbon, of a hosiery company. "We have ail we can do to fill our regular' hosiery orders without worrying about 'bare possibilities.' No, we haven't decided to make any new types of peek-a-boo socks with windows in them, or those built of mosquito netting for wearers who desire free ankle ventilation. Men who want the rephyrs to tickle their shins can go 60ckless if they choose. We . should worry."

camp meetings in the Southern states. Thus does the course.of empire pursue Its westward way!" Films American. The writer Sir Sidney Low reserves special irony, however, for what he believes to be the most culpable agent of Americanization the cinema. Sir Sidney who writes in the Fortnightly Review manages to leave the impression, without actually saying so, that he really thinks a certain restrained dose of Americanism is "not half bad" for his countrymen American ideas of business advertising, for Instance. But, apparently, he believes the whole thing Is being laid on "a bit too thick." "In the world of the film," asserts the writer, "America is supreme, at any rate she has far more than a twopower superiority." He hopes that something may come of the much heralded big British producing companies, but is not over sanguine.

But, in the meantime, America holds the field and supplies something like 90 per cent of all the pictures shown In the United Kingdom. They are the chief recreation of all the people, supplanting in Interest church, meeting house and lecture platform; and they are all all American. Everybody rich and poor, old and young is habitually and constantly "seeing life through American spec

tacles;" and he thinks that certain phases of American life must be better known to the picture enthusiasts than their own. Take It All In. "They know all about the mammoth hotels, and the sumptuous restaurants, and the dance halls and night clubs, and the seaside or hillside pleasure resorts. They know the ways of the millionaire, upright or shady generally shady and the ways of the adventurer who aspires after his dollars or his daughter, and the ways of the Wild West, where stalwart young men with revolvers defend virtuous schoolmistresses. They know all about these other young men, the fast young men who engage in the pleasures of the town, and tempt 'business girls' to stray into the paths of error. They gaze at American houses, American furniture, American scenery; they confront American police captains, and American trainmen, and American criminals. For them the difficult epigrams in which the composer of the American scenario is accustomed to express his thoughts have no mysteries. They can construe the subtitles off hand, translate even the obscurest of them at sight. No wonder our younger generation talks American! O. Henry and the American magazines and 'Uncle Sam' plays, and the cinema, but most of all the cinema,

have made it familiar in our mouths as household words. No missionary

ever had such a preaching stool in foreign lands as this pictorial pulpit, which is set up several times a day everywhere." ' While Sir Sidney admits that everybody wants a closer understanding with America, a closed communion of spirit he seriously questions whether the plays and 1ms and novels constitute the proper sort of missionaries. These over-emphasize certain phases of American life and utterly ignore others and the others are mostly the desirable phases. "After all," he says, "a great nation does not consist mainly off 'crooks' and criminals and dishonest financiers, and impossibly sentimental girls, and fatuous 'society worien,' and funny men playing the fool brilliantly. A False Idea.
