TO SCREEN AESOP'S FABLES
Film Makers Seize Upon Book Read
Most of ANY Except Bible.


Down thru the ages Aesop's Fables
have been classics for reading among
the young and the old. Now. a car
toon comedy version of "Aesop's
Fables Modernized," drawn by Paul
Terry, is announced for early screen
presenta ton, by Fables Pictures, Inc,
with Pathe as the distributor. The
tales of the ancient fabulist possess
fascinating charm which makes them
just as entertaining today as when
they were first written.
With comedy treatment the sterling
stories of Aesop are born anew for to-
days audiences Cartoonist Terry calls
the pictures Sugar Coated Pills of
WISDOM" which suggests the delight
full amusement appeal. The animal
charac ters in the fables are unusually
we'll humanized, with just enough ex-
aggeration of funny characteristics
and grotesque mannerisms to maintain
a humorous vein. Altho, in the situa-
ton and action the comedy element is
ever present, it in no way over
built his tales. The skillful handling
of this element rather accentuates the
central idea working up to a rapid
laugh climax
Next to the Bible, more copies of
Aesop's Fables have been read than
any other book known to civilized
man. These stories have been trans
lated into every known tongue. The
appeal of these stories is universal.
In motion picture form they should
prove very popular. Here is motion
picture film that can be shown before
any audience with most happy results.
Some photoplays are issued without sub
titles and sometimes SUBJ titles are issued
without much photoplay.

OF course the earth would tremble,
The sun refuse to shine;

The Son Of God divine.
For there on Calvary's dark hill,
The great Redeemer died.
Ne gave His life a sacrifice,
And He was crucihed.
Dear Master. meek and lowiy.
Oh, the sufferings OF each day,
AS along that path OF anguish,
Thou did'st wond Thy weary way.
In Gethesemane's dark garden,
Left forsaken, Thou did'st weep;
When the bloody sweat came Ger
Thee,
No one there-their watch to keep.
on Thy tender shoulders rudely.
Then the cruel cross was laid,
Yes-up Calvary's hill Thou stag
gered,
There the sacrifice was made.
The atonement was made perfect.
Cruel hands then pierced Thy
side,
In thy hands the nails were driven,
Yes-and Thou were crucihed.
Soldiers stood around and stoned
Thee,
Gave Thee vinegar and gall;
Placed the crown OF thorns upon
Thee,
Twas TO save Us from the fall.
Teach us, Master, to wark near Thee,
Even near Thy bleeding side,
We proclaim Thee our redeemer,
For us Thou vert crucihed.
Yes. the earth did shake and tremble.
And the rocks we're rent in twain;
When Thou cried-Am I forsaken?
And the blood-drops fell like rain.
Let us be like faithful Mary,
Last TO leave Thee in Thy gloom;
And like Mary In the morning.
First to meet Thee at the tomb.
