Epilogue.

Lovers of Mark Twains "Huckle-
berry Finn" will take keen Joy in the
novel prologue and epilogue with
which william D. Taylor has invest
ed the Paramount Aircraft Aim ver-
sion of the story, to be seen begin
ming tomorrow at Moore's Garden
Theater.
Following as 1t does "The Adven-
lures of Tom Sawyer" the author
opens his story, all of which is told
IN Huck's own language, with a brief
resume of the outstanding events OF
the foregoing book.
You don't know about me with
out you have read a book by the
name of "The Adventures of Tom
sawyer" but that amt no matter.
Huck begins. THAT book was made
by Mr.. Mark Twain, and he told the
truth, mainly. There was things
which he stretched, but mainly he
told the truth"
In directing the story for the
screen Mr.. Taylor has cleverly in
corporated Huck's own introduction.
He opens the picture with Samuel
Clemens mark Twain) writing, as
was his custom, in bed. Huck, per-
fectly impersonated by young Lewis
Sergeant, appears carrying a manu-
script in his own wandering scrawl.
He suggests that the author write
story about him and adds that he
has already started the book himself
and will give his efforts to Mark
Twain as an aid for his own story.
What he has written forms opening
lines OF the novel. Twain accepts the
offer and the story begins to unfold.
At the close OF the picture the
author is again shown. Huck re-
appears with anothers creed in which
he Announces that never again will
he attempt to write a book. II is too
much, OF an undertaking. he declares,
as his smiling face fades into the
shadows of the screen.
