TN the early days of automobile

His consistent success led other
drivers to ask for tires constructed
to hi specifcations.
Twenty years of road and track
victories-with q steady and increas-

convinced Barney Oldfeld that
these speed tests pointed the way to
a better tire for everyday use.
The enthusiastic reception of Old

was right. Scores of the most
prominent dealers in the country
and many thousands of car owners,

Christie Will Make
Only "a Comedies in
a Year, Hereafter

Because of the enormous volume Of
scenarios which have been received re-
Gently, Al Christie wants to say few
words to all those interested in writing
screen comedies.
When Christie was making the
single-reel Christie comedies and
Strand comedies and other pictures
weekly, the market was pretty good
for comedy ideas. and many synopses
were bought By the Christie company,
which used to make as many as $50
pictures year.
Scripts were purchased frequently
lust for the one idea which was used
as q basis for single-reeler.
Times have changed somewhat, and
Christie is now concentrating on the
production of "a two-reel Christie
comedies a year. This means that the
market is smaller in volume but
bigger from a point of view Of class
OF production. The Christie stories
now used for two-reelers usually have
to contain as much plot and action as
an ordinary five-reel feature. One Of
the leading American magazines re-
Gently declared that one of the new
Christie comedies contained more plot
and entertainment value than most
five-reel films" which is another way
of saying that the bare-idea comedy
plot q no longer enough. The new
Christie comedies Of which AL Christie
speaks are released through Educa-
tional and identified as such BY posters
and photographs bearing the Edu-
eational Christie trade marks in front
OF all theaters where they are shown.
