On at 4.33, 25 min. Showing a special set of pictures illustrating shoe-making of today. These pictures were made by the Edison Company for the George E. Keith Co., of Campello, Mass. It might be said in passing that Mr. George E. Keith is not related to Mr. B. F. Keith, but is almost as well known in the shoe world as is Mr. B. F. in vaudeville. The Keith Company make the Walk-Over Shoes, and while the trademark appears in several of the pictures it is not used in a way to which there can be any objections. The pictures are interesting and are good specimens of motion photography, particularly the last one, which shows the operatives leaving the factories, as good a picture of a moving crowd as I have ever seen. The Walk-Over people are ready and willing to do extra advertising in every city in which these pictures are shown and do not ask to use their names in connection with the advertising. They will simply advertise motion pictures of the art of modern shoe-making are on view at such-and-such a theatre.
