NEW WORK FOR HUMANITY

Dear Readers of The Washington Tines
At the suggestion Of wise man have begun new kind
of work. For years have written "Advce to the Lovelon
for the newspapers have answered questions of and
women concerning the affairs of their hearts .
Now am going to do something exciting than that
With the help of Miss Grace Darling going to take
of the most important episodes that to through the
letters from the millions of readers of advice to the Love-
lon, make stories of them for The Washington Times and
Miss Darling and Basil Dckey will turn them into scenarios for
motion pictures.
They will be produced stories in The Times every Sum-
day. and during the week following the motion pictures will
show the acting of the story.
1t is exciting to think of having your thoughts changed
into actual moving human beings appearing before the public
the screen.
in my work in collaboration with Miss Darling in the
ton pictures shall try to give good advice working as always
with my one great motto Love makes the world 60 round
