WHAT MAKES APICTURE
SUCCESSFUL

According to Samuel Goldwyn,
famous motion picture producer,
no screen entertainment can be
truly great unless it blends humor
with pathos. To the amateur au-
thor who feels that he is able to
give the world great photoplay
Mr.. Goldwyn has one peice Of adj
vice-make your story dramatic,
but don't let drama crowd out the
laughs.
Life is not all tears; neither is
1t a farce" says Mr.. Goldwyn. I'm
the olden days of the motion pic.
ture a photoplay was either heavy
drama, unrelieved by >aOmedy, or
else it was of the slapstick brand
farce pure and simple. Today 1t
is the blending Of the two that the
public demands. People want to
see a human story on the screen,
and no story can be really human
and sincere unless It combines
smiles with tears.
IT have held this belief for many
years-and for many years want
ed to produce Montague Class IA.

M1ESiCLand

Robert Schumann's father was a
bookseller and his mother the
daughter of a physician. Robert
started to compose when years old.
Later, he took up the study Of law,
but his musical interest so over
balanced his. studies that. he forsook
the former and decided to become a
musician. When one of his fingers
was permanently injured by over
practice, he took to composing. He
married the daughter of his old
teacher, much to the displeasure Of
her father. He made many concert
tours wittn his wife, who was a
celebrated pianist. The last years
of Schumanns life were darkened
by melancholia, and wild eccen-
tricities which finally led to an at
tempt Of suicide. His last two years
were spent in a sanitarium. where
he wrote some, in his sane moments.
He died at 40 years of age.
