The Making Of a Man

Clarence Buddington Kelland's re-
Gently published story. of the Northern
New England lumber camps, "The
Source" has now won It's way to the
motion picture screen. This may not
be criterion of its literary merit, but
at least 1t shows that the book has been
popular with the reading public. Motion
picture producers as rule are clever
judges of the pubic's likes and dis
likes. 1t should be said for "The
Source" however, that besides being a
capital story, it is exceedingly well
written. The tale is of a man Of re-
finement and education who becomes
what the lumbermen very bluntly but
truly call bum" Shanghaied and
taken to the woods with other social
outcasts, he is sorry and pitiable

reader. But the enforced outdoor life
combined with woman's influence, pro-
.vides the proper stimulation, and the
creature comes back" and becomes a
