In the whole realm of active photo graphy it has remained for the com mercial organization of Texarkana- or rather-the two Texarkanas to fur nish the last word in realism.
 In few days the movies will offer film presenting romance. remark able for the fact that it is true story of love even though it's spectacu- lar settings and sensational incidents would be worthy of the creative effort of imaginative minds. However, the story is not idyllic in any sense and, being true, it does not require con- tortional ina oination to stimulate ones interest.
 The characters are real everyday somebodies--all Texarkana people. It happened this way: A movie manu- facturer negotiated with the Board of Trade to make picture of the city. Instead of planning for the conven- tional picture fiiA to illustrate the city's commercial and industrial inn portance, the organizations secretary conceived an idea for picture which, no doubt, is without precedent in the history of art.
 A building lot. house and complete furnishings were offered as gift to the young couple of refinement, social qualifications and talent necessary to properly fill the leading roles in tine photoplay which ended in sure enough honest-to-goodnass wedding on the state line between Arkansas and Texas.
 Immediately after the newspaper an 1 nouncements of the plan, the enthusi. astic interest among large number of young people gave evidence of the popularity of the enterprise.
 Eight young couples applied for the opportunity to demonstrate their his | trionic ability before the camera and l incidentally, to receive as per1uisltes, 1 the promised material gifts along with l their respective afEnties. In short l the proposition was so attractive that the committee found it necessary to close the competition in less than 6 | week.
 Brandon Gray, an Arkansas boy, and Irene Taylor, Texas girl, re. ceived the recommendation of the com mittee. Both of these young people were qualified in every way to meet i: the requirements of the committee and it's selection met with popular ap proval. Their courtship of four years standing contained many incidents o1 dramatic interest and importance and
