only comment of an Indian “lifer,”
now serving his fourteenth year in
prison—and yet it spoke volumes.
Ent husiast ic A pplause.
When the animated weeklies
flashed their lifelike representations
of men well known in public life
upon the canvas the applause that
greeted each one spoke highly for
the clearness of the films. When
the exhibition ended and the pris-.
ones, including men from mountain
fastness and from modern mansion,
filed slowly to their cells, the senti- !
ment of all was echoed in the un-1
restrained voice of a “lifer,” who
shouted: “Come again!”* This same
life prisoner, now serving his twen-
ty-first year in prison, whose record
until a few months ago was bad,
and who viewed moving pictures for
the first time, remarked later: “I’ve j
got a reputation as an ingrate-, and [
I don’t ever expect to leave here,
but the thing that hurts me most
is the fact that I’ve no way to show
these people my gratitude.”.
If moving pictures can arouse
such sentiments as these, the bene-
ficial results to be obtained from
moving pictures of an educational
nature exhibited within the walls o
prisons, cannot be overestimated.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 8.—How the
“long-timers” who haven’t felt free-
dom in twenty or more years, view-
ed for the first time in their lives,
two weeks ago, the dazzling sight
of living men and the throbbing out-
side world cast upon the moving
picture screen before them is de-
scribed in vivid terms by one of the
prisoners in the February issue of
। Good Words, the prison paper. Sev-
। eral other articles of distinct merit,
some very pointed and witty para-
graphs, and an excellent poem,
“Look Again,” are contained in the
paper, showing the encouragement t
right thinking that is being given
to the 918 prisoners at the peniten-
tiary.
Register No. 3419, the editor-in
chief of Good Words, is the author
of the moving picture description,
which has attracted a good deal of
comment, both inside and out. In
part, his article follows:
The First Glimpse.
“Why, it’s just like you was look-
in’ at folks!” was the exclamation
of an excited “lifer” when the first
film of the first moving-picture
show ever seen within the walls of
a federal penitentiary was flashed
upon the canvas.
The writer occupied a seat between
two life prisoners, neither of whom
had ever seen a moving picture.
Both had been sailors, one, of the ]
old school, now serving his thirty- i
third year within prison walls; the
other, a mah-o’-war’s-man, serving I
his sixteenth year. The rapt atten-
tion of the older was only outdone
by the excited exclamation: “Oh, ।
Rodman Law, the man who broke
the world’s record by dropping 3,-
500 feet from a balloon for a Re-
liance production of “The Secret Ser-
vice Man.” has made another leap
for life which rivals any sensation-
al feat ever attempted. During
the production of “Saved by Air-
ship,” Law climbed from his seat
in Harry Bingham Brown’s areo-
plane and swinging from the skids
by his hands, made a drop of seven-
ty-five feet to the waters of Long
Island Sound, while the airship was
making more than sixty miles an
hour.
After he struck the water he sav-
ed the life of Rosanna Forbes, one
of the ladies of the Reliance Com-
pany, who had been blown from a
launch by the discharge of a quan-
tity of gunpowder.
Several camera men, stationed on
a pier and two tug boats, kept their
cameras busy and the result was
some sensational films that will
make “Saved by Airship” a wonder-
ful picture. It was released Jan. 29.
This picture was recently shown
at the Crystal Theatre, and the
death-defying act of the daring-
passenger in the airship, when he
jumped into the water to save the
girl appeared so unreasonable that
most people would not believe it
actualy occurred. Yet it did, as
the foregoing explanation states
very plainly.
