REX INGRAM HOLDS
CLASSICS WILL ALWAYS
PROVIDE SCREEN MATERIAL.

"ClasSic literature and drama will
lever be productive field for the
motion picture producer" says Rex
Ingram, whose latest Metro produc-
ton, Trif1ing Women" is now at
the Kenworthy = eatre. While it
| is probable that the present tendency
toward a preference for modern, well
| knit, vital stor.-c will result in pre-
ponderance of that type of picture,
| it is nevertheless true that the classics
will continue to be drawn upon by
directors who have ambitions to deal
with great subjects in great way.
"There are two logical reasons for
this. In the first place, the story or
drama which has survived the test of
time has, by virtue of that fact, de-
monstrated that there is something
lin it's theme or treatment which has
Ia universal appeal, something that IS
greater than the ever changing cur
rents of a temporary popularity. In
the second place, there is a tremen-
dous fascination for the director in
taking story and characters that are
known to hundreds of thousands of
people and attempting to make that
story and those characters live on
the screen in such a way that he will
win the approval of his public.
"Such task may well fill the heart
of the most able director with oc-
casional misgivings. During the pro-
duction of The Four Horsemen of
the Apocalypse 1 spent many a sleep
less night. 1 was confident that the
picture, as it was being developed, was
r., Il -
ton in regard to theme, characterize
ton and emphasis. And yet there was
always the fear that the great mass
of people who had read the book
might expect to see the picture just
different enough from the one that /
felt was the most logical presenta-
ton of the story that they would be
disappointed. Happily my fears were
groundless, as such fears are likely
to be if a director approaches his
task with honesty and vision and
sincerity.
And for three reasons l believe
that producers and directors will con-
tinually turn to the classics for
material, and for the future reason
that in them is to be found a full
bloodedness, vitality, a fundamen
tai strength which gives them a uni
versatility of interest in every genera
ton"

LOVER WOULD BRAND
COURT BEAUTY'S FOREHEAD.

One of the tremendously dramatic
|scenes in Norma Talmadge's fascinat-
ing starring vehicle, The Eternal
Flame" which is the First National at
traction at the Liberty theatre, next
week, is that which depicts General
de Montriyeau preparing to brand the
great court beauty whom he believes
has ridiculed his love.
The Duchess of Langeais, wonder
fully enacted by Norma Talmadge,
offers her beauty gladly, wildly, in
an abandonment of love, when he
pronounces his judgment of terrible
revenge on her, and waits unflinch-
ingly for him to brand her forehead
with the mark of infamy.
The scene takes place in a room
of forbidding austerity. Through the
curtains of a doorway the flare of
fire and the movement of ominous
figures of the men who are preparing
the irons can be SEEN De Montriveau
enters and denounces the Duchess. A
masked man hands him the branding
iron. The Duchess bares her fore
head to receive the terrible stigma
Then the General finds he cannot mar
her glorious beauty.

The preservation Of hundreds OF
tons of wood through such a long

the protection afforded by the water

was that the trees after dying, de-

LYING ABOUT PERTH AMBoY's WATER

Perth Amboy resents the story that its water supply has
ever been condemned. As a matter OF fact the water supply ~

some iron in the water, but aside from that no fault can be 1ouno
And there is plenty of water, too. The fact that the mains Oh We

water supply for all the Middlesex county towns would be cared

YOUR CAREER

oAMDEN's NEW GOVERNMENT

Camden recently adopted the commission form OF govern
meut, and it is now getting its house in order. The Camden
Courier says:
seWben the citizens of Camden voted for commission govern
ment and for the present commissioners they expressed their
desire for more than a change in the form Of city government.
.They wanted a change in the spirit of the government, as
well.
.'some t~houghtless citizens have been disappointed because
the commissioners did not Immediately ''clean house." They do
not realize that such action would impair efficiency and disOr-
ganize the various departments.
"Making over the spirit of the city government must nee
essarily be much more gradual than changing the form from
councilmanic to commission.
"The people must appreciate the difficulties of the task ano
the necessity for deliberate action. There are many old city en-
ployes who were compelled to serve the organization to retain
their Jobs. but are now glad of the change and capable of ap-
preciating the new spirit Of service to the public which dominates
City Hall. These men should be retained.
FThe public will appreciate yesterdays shift IN the police
department as an indication that the city commissioners mean t.
carry out their prediction pledge to make over the spirit as vel
as the form of the city government. The change in police chiefs
is meeting with general approval throughout the city.

Sam has taken a lease until 1929
and his yearly rent will be $3.50
for each square foot of floor space.
Move the building out into a desert
and the whole store wouldn't be
