MOVIE" FANS OBSERVING

From the Continental Edition of the
 Qoudon Mail.)
 Now that the film has made itself part of the nations life a new habit has been cultivated which can only be called "the film sense.'
 The happiest thing about this new sense is that it cultivates the powers of observation. The complete darkness of the theater, the concentration of at tention on the characters of a story, the entire subjection of scenery to plot and the absence of any necessity to listen to the talk which diverts the at tention on the Legitimate" stage, all contribute to the growth of this sense
 Nowadays" said a producer recent ly, you cannot eat a champagne sup per and think bread and cheese" Film artists have found that if they are not thinking their parts, the expression of their eyes will betray them. The audience will notice the lack of sim cerity at once.
 Any inconsistency of dress or seen cry is picked up with amazing speed and producers are realizing that the time has gone when the public would swallow" all sorts of incredible things. If Q film is not faithful in it's details it is not going to please the public.
 Another effect of the film sense" is that when an audience sees a. writ ten word-which, of course, is infre- quently-they expect something good, because the whole of their mind is trained on it The roar which greets a witty subtitle" is wonderful to hear and the standard is being raised higher and higher in consequence.
 Finding just the right phrase for a subtitle" is becoming one of the most difficult and most important parts of film production.

Statement From Paramount Go.
 to Robert Weller

Just think what that means. FIFTY-THREE acres all in the Burkburnett field. Our TEN acre tract in Block 46 could be sold for from 5000 to $10000 per acre. Sounds somewhat different from $90,000 cap italization on 21a acres or $50O000 on 40 acres There is a reason for this. We are NOT STOCK JOBBERS. Our leases represent actual value-they go in the company for just what paid for them and they are worth many times our capitalization now We could sell out today and pay a nice dividend But the PARAMOUNT OIL COMPANY is going after the oil We haven't an acre of ground that we would sell-for every acre is PROVEN OIL LAND and we're going to develop entire holdings.

Who Was St. Valentine

st. Valentine, patron OF lovers and
first aid to Cupid, was not a regula-
ton ain of the church at all!
His name got tangled up with the
celebrasion somewhat by accident.
It happened this way.
There were two Valentines in the
history of the church, and the birth
day of one was celebrated February
IA. But the saint himself had nc
connections with the doings of Cupid
or with the of maids and
men.
In his Lives of the Saints the
Rev. Alban Butler explains that early
Christian leaders tried in every way
possible TO stamp out the vestiges OF
aga superstition that fingered
among their people. Their idea was
20 retain the popular ceremonies, but
TO modify or change the meaning of
the ceremonies to agree with Chris
tian faiths. An old Roman festival,
called Februata Juno. was celebrated
in honor of the pagan gods. Juno and
Pan. Among other customs OF that
feast. the names of young women
were written on slips and dropped I'm
drawn by young men. Partners for
the revels were SO chosen. In their
effort to give this pagan custom q
Christian significance, the Christian
pastors substituted the drawing OF
the names of saints from a box, in
stead of the names of maidens. The
festival wsS always held in February,
and, because st. Valentin's birthday
was celebrated on the 14th day OF
that month, the custom and the date
and name were linked together for
convenience. On those first st. Val
entine's days the pastors wrote the
names OF many saints on slips, the
congregation members each drew
one, and. during the following year,
each was supposed TO initiate the
virtues and ISL the special blessing
of his holy Valentine"
But the unregenerate youth OF that
and following generations would not
quite accept the new order. and, in
spite of the disapproval OF pastors,
the custom Of choosing human rather
than sanity Valentines took hold in
both France and England.
In Walsh's book "Curioslties OF
Popular Customs" we read that. lin
1888, on the eve of st. Valentines
Day, an equal number of maids and
bachelors get together. each writes
their true or some feigned name upon
separate billets, which they roll up
and draw by way OF lots. the maids
taking the mems billets and the men
the maids. So each young man
lights upon a girl that he calls his
valentine. and each OF the girls upon
a young man she calls hers. BY this
means each has two valentines. but
the man sticks faster TO h valentine
that is fallen 10 him than TO the val
entine TO whom he Is fallen. Fortune
having divided the company into 50
many couples. the valentines then
give balls and treats to their mis-
~tresses. wear their billets several days
upon their bosoms or sleeves, and
this little sport often ends in love"
That's how st. Valentines Day got
its name and the custom of an eX-
change OF tender missives betWeea
the sexes had its origin.
