HOLLYWOOD Calf, August 26.-
Abraham Lincoln will have movie
revival. D. w. Grifhth and Joseph
Schenck are responsible for this inter-
eSting movie development. The Ameri-
can hero and statesman will be given
to the cinema loving world in talk.
To give the public Lincoln the man
not Lincoln the President. has long been
q dream of D. w. A revival OF the Lin
coin theme was deemed inadvisable be-
fore talk came to the rescue. 1t was a
subject too thoroughly covered.
About six years ago scarcely picture
but had its shot of q war mother ap-
pealing to Abraham Lincoln for her son
or q war wife pleading the cause OF her
husband. Lincoln. the President. the
man Of sorrows. was portrayed by dozens
of actors. Ralph Ince was the most
notable of these. His makeup was the
sensation Of the day, and he had host
of imitators In all the small companies
Of the village which operate on the
''monkey-see -monkey-do" principle.
Grifilth will begin the work only after
months of research. He has discarded
a score of stories, notable among them q
movie version Of Joan Lowell's sea
story, which was to have been his Chef
d'oeuvre for 1929.
Grifiith regards the coming Lincoln
picture as MS masterpiece. II Is the
thing he has longed to do, and accom-
plishment Of 1t may find him willing to
retire. He has a long record of good
work and cinematic achievement. He
has selected more beauties for the screen
than any man outside Of Mack Sennett
who holds the palm.
Griffith has contributed more innova.
lions to cinematography than any other
Hollywoodite, but II he makes q great
picture out Of this Lincoln theme he
has no possible chance of retiring. Hol-

fallow. This is the secret Of the Colo

Problem of Instinct.

Reply:
The same question in other forms
comes up again and again: 1t should
be directly and clearly answered. The
view set by James. and later by Nc
Dougall and others, was that man had
q set Of ready-to-wear instincts as soon
as he grew up to them-like seeking
shelter. hiding, shrinking. initiating,
fighting. hunting, and a score Of others.
Thorndike holds that II you inherit
anything. 1t must be definite tendency
when In the presence Of this situation
to do that particular thing: hence all
his instincts are Of that order. The in
stinct to acquire and possess is really
the tendency to grab anything in sight,
II 1t isn't too big or too formidable; in
which case 1t arouses the other instinct
to run away. The maternal instinct
induces fondling of infants. Migration
gregariousneSs, play, teasing, may all b.
reduced to such patterns.
The behaviorist believes that all such
accounting for human behavior Is
wrong. and that in fact all such re-
sponses are learned or acquired, that
the infant starts with next to nothing
and certainly not then or later with
many. II any patterned types Of reac-
ton that without learning are set OF by
given type Of stimulation.
While agreeing with this view. I do
not at all agree with his further con-
clusion that we don't inherit capacity
temperament or traits Of mind: or that
all that we become Is determined by the
training we are put through. So, though
strictly speaking We have no instincts
to speak of, only lot Of reflex bits OF
response, there is much that Is instinc-

Everyday Psychology
NJ m. JESSE ". spRowLs.
Two.Faced People.

The double-self theory Of personality
comes pretty close to explaining o lot
Of the queer things we all do. The
term "two-faced" in everyday Ian.
guage means the same thing.
We all have ut least two selves or
two faces. One of these selves Is native
to US. We are born with It. It's q
part OF our very bone and blood. Race
or climate has little or no effect on It.
cept In its own terms, such as, The
native self Is by nature selfish" !. e.,
egoistic. It exists In its own right
ministers to itself. It Is self -sufiicient.
How else can you explain stinginess,
pride, arrogance, vanity, deceit. jeal-
ousy, covetousness?
The important thing about this native
self Is that 1t Is universal. Deny that
you have 1t, and you only broadcast the
fact that you are trying to dehumanize
yourself.
The other self is acquired. IT'S the
face or self that IL born Of social con-
are, II you merely announce your ma
tive place. Observant travellers through
out the United States can tell this al
most to the very State after hearing
you talk 10 minutes. Those who know
Europe well can tell In q moment just
what part Of q given country you are
from. From a business point Of view,
the more important part Of any per-
sonality is this community face. You
may take the selfish face Of any person
for granted. AS for the community
face. that's something you must study.
Something for which you must make
fine distinctions. You must learn to
treat these distinctions with the utmost
difference.
Patriotism, group loyalty, national
honor, community pride, consciousness
Of kind, etc, are q few Of the terms
used to describe ones community face.
A person does not inherit these atti-
tudes. He merely acquires them as he
lives. But they are just rs forceful.
perhaps more forceful, than some Of
the sQecalled instincts. Most sociolo-
gists. Tor instance. say that patriotism
Is instinct Obviously, they are trying
to tell US something that isn't true. The
great variety Of social faces in the
world can be accounted for only on the
theory that environment yields q
powerful influence over ones ways Of
thinking.
