terests fellow humans.
Cecil II. De Mile triumphed with
Joan, the Woman" because the play
centered in the heart of a wonderful
character. In MALE and Female" tho
changed situation OF the butler on a
desert isle gripped our attention. And
So ii goes.
The young writer with thoughts Of
Colorful sunsets in his mind goes away
from one of these plays and says,
why, ] can beat that" For he has
in his mind a bit of atmosphere or a
tiny situation which to him seems to
surpass the play he has just seen.
Isn't that a mistaken attitude? In
stead of going to pick the wrongs, I"
why not try to find the rights?
What is there in such a production
that makes people willing to pay out
their hard earned money to see it
to be willing to stand in long box
Office lines in anticipation of the pleas
urc that awaits within? Young
scenario writers would do well to study
current successes.
Such intensive, unpreiudiced analysis
would at least help to develop their
bump Of drama'--tO distinguish in
their minds the difference between the
close woven fabric of well-kn story
and the tangle of threads one finds In
the usual combination of atmosphere
and unrelated incident that finds it's way
into the hands of the scenario reader.

something clean and big about the
place, too. 1t had been especially built
for the taking of pictures, and its main
floor was under an immense sloping

the manners were as compared with the
X Studio. At the former there
was roughncss and vulgarity, quarrel

certain comradeliness, certain
peaceful quiet, a certain sense of cnr-
nest work.
The telephone girl sent me right in.
without any delay, under the big glass
roof.

across the vast floor. The carpenters

There are men who are engaged in
the business of fishing just as there
are thousands of people everywhere
engaged in manufacturing and farm
ing, and to waive these interests
aside for the benefit of the sport and
pleasure seeker is to destroy the
foundation of public spirit and pros
perity-to unbalance cur industrial
and economic system.
The trucks, however, should bear
their pro rata, per horse power, of
the improvement and repair tax. But
the use of the public highways, after
the necessary expenses have been
provided for, should be free to every
body alike. They should be like the
air we breathe or the water we drink.
No man has an adequate idea of
the development of the trucking in
dustry in the next twenty-five years.
No one twenty-five years ago could
have ventured that we would have so
many pleasure cars, and expensive
ones as we have to-day. The very
idea would have been hooted at.
But there are railroad interests
and others who will undertake to
check the growth of the trucking in
dustry, just as we have suggested.
Our law makers have about as lit
tie vision as any set of men on earth.
If they would but give their atten-
ton to the public highways, most
practical proposition, instead of
dredging rivers and lakes and spend
ing money for navigation of all sorts
of streams and impossible waterways
they would find the key to national
progress and prosperity.
l tell you that this must become a
country of greater industrial pros
perity thru the use of motor trucks,
and it is useless to try to choke the
industry.
Legislators, whether they want to
or not, sports and pleasure seekers
will be forced to recognize these
things.
