 This picture tells a big, grip ping story of a man against whom fate had set her mark, his fight to sling to the better things of life, mis- 'un d erstandings that send him to the depths of despair and finally his re- juvenation through the mediums of a god mans faith and pure Wo- mans love.

Various comedians are associated with their individual brands of com edy. Some is comedy, but the great CT part of their efforts are not
 An author once said that it was easier to write a five to six-reel drama than it was to put together a good two-ree1 comedy script
 This may be very true, in fact we is that fatal but" why not train writers to produce real reel comedy scripts and have the different com panies hire comedy writers who have a, sense of humor and know about how their typed situations will look when staged and projected onto the silver Sheet?

On the screen a c1everIy written sub- title will also bring a laugh, but when real comedy is aimed for it must be the situation that the author works up in his continuity or the laugh depends on the director who is staging the productio

but history says that one time we
 had law in New England, which
 punished a man for kissing his wife
 on Sunday. I think that if it is right
 for man to kiss anybody on Mon
 day, it is right to do it on Sunday,
 right to put it in the moving pictures.
 This is a real world we live in and
 the stage is to teach us what the world is about. How is anybody to know what the things are to keep away from unless somebody teaches them. I think the moving picfure res do more to teach girls and boys to want what is nice and clean than thing bad in them, you can depend on it that the good sense of the peo- pie who pay their good money to see the pictures will prevent that thing from lasting very long.
