There seems just now to be a wave of dishonest and underhand practice going on in the film business, and we want to warn our readers against being duped by "dupe" films. The number of copied films which are being offered for sale as originals is increasing, and we want every exhibitor to know how to detect the same and avoid being fleeced by unscrupulous dealers. A "dupe" film is a duplicated film ; that is, one manufacturer copies a film made by another, thereby saving the expense of posing the original, and offers it to the public as his own, perhaps under a new title- The method adopted is that Published Evkhy Sattjbday. a film made in Europe, say, and not having been copy- righted is in printing machine with a World Photographic Publishing Company, New Tor*. bought, placed the Alfred B.

Apropos our last week's editorial on the above subject, we are gratified with the comments we have received and feel constrained to refer again to the subject, owing to its importance. We were conversing with an English manufacturer, who commented upon the copyright laws of the United States and their uselessness in protecting the manufacturer. His contention is that, take 1,000 feet of film having 16,000 pictures, each must be copyrighted at a cost of 50 cents each ; total, $8,000. Who pays this ? No one ! What is done ? The negative and title is copy- righted, at a cost of 50 cents for a citizen of the United States and $1.00 for a non-citizen. And at this copyright Published Every Saturday. . the film pirate laughs, and pirates, well knowing that to • World Photographic Publishing Company, N*w YotE. get a conviction or injunction the law-costs will be more Alfred H.

Richard Croker's horse " Orby " won the English Derby of 1907, the most famous race of the year, against the pick of England's best. The English Derby is recognized as the most classical event of its kind, and its winner gains the highest honors possible in horse racing. Croker's horse, Orby, was bred in Ireland, his dam, Rhoda B being an American mare, bred in Kentucky. The winning of the Derby by Orby surprised all England, 'and could not be called popular there, as his claims were ridiculed before the race, but Ireland rejoiced in every valley and hill top when his success was announced. Croker refused $175,000 for the horse after the race.

This week's issue carries several reports of fires, a re- port of what Birmingham, Ala., is doing, and an extract from the New York Board of Fire Underwriters relating to wires and machines. The report from New Bedford, Mass., is given in full as a guide for other States to follow. We think Massa- chusetts is far ahead of any State in the Union in the manner it handles the cinematograph difficulty—if diffi- culty it can be termed—and it is an example for every city, town and State to follow.
