Millions In the Movies"
Appears Mythical Now

Tearing down anybody's aircastles is a
thankless job, and we would never disturb
the popular dream of quick fortunes to be
made manufacturing movie flms-if there
were many companies actually making
millions.
The president of one of the older estab-
lished operating companies in testifying
recently before a committee of the house
of representatives in Washington said:
Public demand for expensive pic
lures has for time wiped out profits,
yet everybody thinks there are mil
lions in the movies. There are-S5OO,-
100000 capital earning almost moth
ing.
Persons who have been attracted by "op-
portunities" to invest in stock in movie
picture companies would do we'll to con-
slider the highly speculative character of
the business under present conditions.
What the movies produce financially, it
seems, may prove as unsubstantial as the
shadow pictures on glass screen.

Two Ways to Spell
Success

Pushing, smashing, tireless effort is one
way for young man to attain success.
Another way is by pull"
Most young fellows wouldn't mind a
pull It's an easy way of rising above the
rest. The protecting influence of a rich
father or friend, appeals to both the am
bilious and the lazy.
But then, some day, the pulp NAV be
gone and the fellow who had it won't be so
well off as the one who worked for his
place
The trouble with pulp is it takes the
impetus out of ambition.
The glory about push is the trainino
it gives in self-help and independence.

his return spent several hours in the

new ones. Mr.. Angle has held sew

Florida Centennial

The deep, prolonged silence of the
Tampa papers on the subject creates
The impression that Tampa valves
ler claims to the Florida centennial
n 1919 in favor of Pensacola. Per
laps it is as well, seeing that congress
has lined up on the side of the Deep
Water City in the matter and Pensa-
cola herself is moving vigorously to
secure the big show at that point.
The old Spanish forts. the traditions
he legends, the large Latin popula-
ion and the five diqerent flags that
rave fioated over the city during 300
ears of life, make a background for
Pensacola and the centennial such as
10 other community can Snowflake
