June 23rd, to see some of the early releases in the tremen dous- new serial, " Million Dollar Mystery ,'* which lias been mude by (he Thanhouscr Company and murk el ed by the specially formed Syndi cal" Film Corporation in co-operation with Ilio Aiutimi. The verdict seemed to be : "Guilty as stated in the Indictment"?and the indictment, as represented by the Thunhpuscr company's extraordinary advance advertising campaign, was Hint "The Million Dollai -Mystery" was the biggest and heal ?-.erial ever attempted und bet of motion pictures that would establish a record lor this class of productions. "Tim Million Dollar Mystery." the lust scenes of which were filmed a few days before the first release was made on Monday, June 22d, utter months of work by the Thanhoujcr -pluy?rs, Is to be offered in twenty-six" episodes, ea-.di episode comprising two reels for release weekly on suc cessive Mondays. The'scenuro Is by Lloyd F. Lonergan from a itory by Harold MncGruth. To Howcll Hansel was assigned by big tusk of directing the production. ' - In a number of respects, "The* Mil lion Dollar^Mystery" project is a par ticularly notable one lu the motion picture industry. It ha.- been handled in au unur.uully big way und is u gam ble the success or failure of which will be followed with keen interest in the trade. To begin with, MacGrnth and Loner gan aro said to huvo drawn a record price for the story and scenario. Then the " pick of the Thanhouscr players, including the highest salar ied people on the payroll, were cast In the action and the matter of expense wus not considered in the making of the production. And finally, a publi city scheme with a $10,000 prize of fer broad enough to ?embrace every section of ttie universe In which mo tion pictures uro shown und enjoyed,, and expensive enough to dwarf any thing which had been attempted be fore woe devised. The $10.000 prize is offered for the beet 100-word solution to the mystery which the .serial will develop as it proginrses.

' - Eight ree' of the total of fifty-two comprising .i.ur episodes, were shown at the roc< private exhibition. For these it ce.m be said that they will not disappoint even those who have read overy line of advance publicity print ed about the serial and by it, have been led to.expect something far be yond the ordinary.
