WILL SHOW PICTURES OF NATION'S LAW MAKERS.
Moving pictures have certainly had the center of the stage in Washington lately and the result will probably be seen in every hamlet of the country before many days are passed. Speaker Clark, immediately after his return from Kentucky recently, was the central figure in the first reel of films ever exposed in the hall of the House of Representatives. The patrons of picture shows will now have an opportunity to see how to catch the speaker's eye, how the speaker pounds the desk when he undertakes to restore order and what the process is which all speakers adopt when they desire to avoid allowing their eye to be caught. In fact the first production of the counterfeit presentment of the presiding officer of the House of Representatives will exhibit that official in every possible pose. It will show him as he is to be seen every day between 12 o'clock noon and the succeeding half hour, but there was no disorder; the reproduction will lack the dramatic interest which centers in the speaker during an excited debate with its inevitable disorder.
