Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1921-11-15

The Albuquerque Morning Journal is announcing
tremendous gift distribution which hoped would
help to collect up arrearages and subscription accounts
and possibly secure more readers to this paper.
In planning this advertising event, The Journal has
tried not to be cheap-a glance at the prize list will
verify this statement. Over five times much money
has been appropriated for distribution is usual in
towns of this size.
$SOOOLThnk of it, Eight Thousand of dollars, is to
be distributed in few short weeks to those who partc-
pate in their spare moments.
The response today-the lack of interest and effort is
ptiful. Few persons have entered their names and
even fewer have even attempted subscription
or a renewal.
Easily subscriptions have been paid at the office
since the campaign announced by subscribers them
selves in the regular of business than most OF
the participants have brought in.
Now The Journal is going through with this PROPOSE
ton.
The five big automobiles and the hundreds of dollars in

WHY IS 1T?

gold and silver going to be given away just an
nounced The journal, in its existence has nor
never will back down on proposition promise.
BUT-It would that more people, who are just
as live as people in other communities just wide
awake certainly just intelligent, would realize the
opportunity for profit before it is too late.
Furthermore, The Journal does feel that its readers
should be willing do than collect few coupons
and sit back with hands folded in return for the big
gifts they will receive
This is the last cal-he few that have been en-
tered will soon be published and the distribution of
prizes will be made and this mammoth event will rapid
ly pass into history.
If you alive you have the least spark of business
udgment-the least ambition to better yourself fnan-
cially and add to your present income-get in your
name Show little action and make money in
your spare moments than most people make in year.
You'll never again have such an opportunity we'll
wager you that Never again will newspaper offer
such awards.

Last Minute "Chewer"
 Pest Verse Appears

Here's a last minute "Chewer'' Pest verse. It came in too late to compete with the other verses, but it's so good that the Amusement Editor has de- cided to print it. Here it is:
 His Idea of It Tom Mix was the special attraction down at the movie show, So l said to my girl about half past seven, we'd better get ready and go. But the seats were full, so we stood up to wait. But we finally got settled in seats next the aisle. With a boy just behind chewing gum by the mile. If he chewed gum for a prize he'd win every race, For that little boy could sure work a mean face. So after this I'll be wise and just look around, And try to steer clear of that gum chewing hound. And when you send me tickets for the
 Plaza this week, I'll be mighty careful where I pick out a seat. Now I'll say this poem is the best and I never tell lies, But you can send me tickets for the Plaza for I've been to Polls.

Wanted: A Girl Says Notable Film Actor
BY ZELDA BEDELI.

A conServatOire of screen acting, a sort of school of camera dramatics is the crying need of the motion pie ture industry today" says Wyndhan Standing, one of the foremost artists and this is said advisedly-on the screen today.
 In MT Standings opinion-and it is one to conjure with-the director and the camera have gone far ahead of the acting that is being done for the movies today. For there is no art of acting on the screen, and that is the source of all the trouble. That is why, in MT. Standings opinion. there is that continual undercurrent of dissatisfaction among movie goers. And his remedy is-acting educationI
 There is a great work waiting for the girl who not only screens beauti- fully but who thinks beautifully" he said, warming to his subject. There IS a crying need for the young woman of twenty-four or five with a heart and brain of Sensibility, as well as face of fine feature. As it stands now, we have two distinct parties, the very young girl and very pretty girl with an appalling lack of anything else; and the woman of thirty or more who can act, to be sure, but who screens, alas, even beyond her years"
 A Sincere Actor.
 MT Standing is an actor whose work always stands out cIear-cut and refined on the screen. Those who saw
 
 Earthbound"-in which he played the part of the murdered Dick near ly doomed to live the rest of his spirit hood bound to earth-could not help but feel the sincerity and love of his art that is always present in his work
 Wyndham Standing-here's a bit of his hlstory-was ''born to the theatri- cal purple" Born in England, like his family before him, he was edu- cated at St. PauTs college and pre- pared at once for the stage, appear ing when he was only nineteen with his father in the company of no less a theatrical parsonage than the fam ous Sir Henry Irving. The stage claimed his histrionic efforts till he came to this country, when he suc- cumbed to the lure of the silver sheet where he has been ever since.
 Speaking of England, however. Wyndham has but recently returned from an eight weeks vacation over there Even though he was born in that more or less famous country, he was glad to get back to little old t>orty-second street and Broadway where he delivered himself the other day of the reasons that he sees stand in the way of the English making great moving pictuBes:
