its general manager, John Roberts
said that the film producers are
spending millions of dollars yearly
on plays. trying to keep up with the

New companies, artists, directors,
and authors are sprouting out like
mushrooms over night in an endeav-

these who we're never heard of before,
are gaining reputation, success and
money. What others have done the
people of Bennington can do, If they
will only try Hesitation is the 81.
lent partner OF failure and many a
cause has been lost by a pause. The
clock that ticks of "a hours for the
successful man or woman can't cheat
its neighbOrs. The same laws of right
and wrong, the same privilege to do
and dare are open to both, lmpossi
bilities are merely the half hearted
efforts of cutters. ....
You surely would like to act in the
movies. Woldn't you? There's moth
ing to keep you from It but yourself,
you are the only drawback. Why moi
make an honest try at 1t now? Acting

ment and gives one that self conf
dence and poise you sometimes envy
| in others.
Manager Harte is affording an op
portunity, at his expense, to test YOU

people of Bennington can do anything
they set out to do.
There are several parts to b.
awarded in the photoplay that will b.
