Great book! But nothing to hang story on
No story at all. No love interest. 1t wouldn't

Young LAENINdLE was not convinced. There
must be something there No book could
have had such colossal sale without having

twice, 20 times. He read 1t as the modern
youth reads; with young wisdom that
has crept into the world
He saw the point-the tremendous, heart
breaking tragedy of youth being tossed to the
cannons
He ordered work to begin Immediately On
the picture, hired Lewis Milestone to direct it,
tossed in million or so and sat the side
lines.
"You don't know what that kid went
through" related Paul Whiteman, the rotund
jazz king. II was in Hollywood making my
picture. Both companies were working at once.
And his bunch out there would try to make
the boy change that story. They came with
every sort of an idea They showed how love
interest could be brought in and more girls.

story. "An Quiet" has been almost unanimously

The while, both Broadway and Hollywood
Boulevard whispered behind their hands.
One of the pictures was "All Quiet on the
Western Front" and the other was Paul White
man In THE King of Jazz"
1t was the former that caused them to arch
eyebrows. Sage counselors shook their heads.
For the whole film world knew the story
that was behind the filming of this book. When
1t came out and had its phenomenal sale, the
picture concerns began to scramble for all the
successful war books and plays.
When 1t came to "An Quiet" the answer
was invariably discouraging. The Universal's
man was no more optimistic.

boys who ambled past, clanking their spurs
and knocking dust from their leather chaps,
and as they passed they stopped to pat him
on the head.
There were hussars who working under the
warm California sun, stopped to take off their
heavy trick hats, mop their sweaty brows, but
who gave the lad a friendly wink as they
dropped into some shady spot.
There were princes and beggars and beauti-
full young women in every sort of colorful and
picturesque raiment.
There was excitement aplenty as swords
flashed on one stage and slapstick comedians
staged a rough and-tumble on another and
heroes slugged villains on another

But to achieve this moment, to gain this

He created a crisis which held the power Of

Press your searchlight. Press
it repeatedly. What happens?
It goes dark. You've exhausted
the battery-it no longer re-
spends. That's a lesson in elec-
tricity. It's also a lesson in
psychology.
Go into a prison. What do
you find? Not what your father
would have found-hardened,
adult criminals. These slender
bodies, huddled in cells. Snuff
ling in the jute mill. are the
bodies of boys. Eighteen-year-
old murdererS, forgers and
thieves. Why are they here?
Their bodies seem healthy.
Their minds seem bright
amazingly bright. Then why
should they have turned to
crime? What has happened to
Youth?
Talk to them and you'll make
q discovery. Their bodies are
normal, their minds are normal
but there's something wrong
with their FEELINGS. Speak
to them of football, aeroplaneS,
movies, automobiles, jobs and
they'll talk your language. But
speak of pity, reverence, respon-
sibility, respect for property
and you get no spark. Like
your searchlight, they've gone
dark. Why?
Compare your youth with
theirs and you'll know why.
How many Big Bangs did you
have during the year? The Cir

half a dozen orgies of excite

it vicious excitement-yet even

You peeved considerably at
the dullneSs when you were a
youngster but now you're CRATE
full for it. For it has left you
emotionally sensitive. You can
still wonder and shudder. weep
and laugh, be moved by curios-
ity and pity and awe and re-
spect. And it turns you cold to
meet these sophisticated young
criminals with their hard eyes.
Yet how can they be otherwise?
Where you knew half a dozen
hullabaloos a year, they live
in a constant upheaval. Ever
since they were born their fac
ulties have been under constant
pressure. Noise has hammered
at them, speed has hustled
them, every known sensation
has been hurled upon the sensi-
tive film of their imagination.

With all this ballyhoo of the

problems of the city in the air
and in your newspaper, let me
say, as a visitor to the Nations
Capital, that the only real
traffic menace in your city is
the phoney left-hand turns that
you prescribe to all who drive
the automobile. Only two morn
ings ago there were three ac-
cidents due to those half left
hand circle turns that embrace
each and every busy corner of
your city. All three accidents
were out-of-town cars unaccus-
toned to such queer maneu-
vers as your left-hand turns.
Let me say that this city is
the most popular city in the
country with the tourist, and
In view of that fact, why
wouldn't it be simpler to cor
respond in your traffic regula-
tions with all the other cities
in the. States. Washington is
entirely isolated in their ar
rangement of left-hand turns,
no other city in the country
has the local rotary turn. Now

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis f. Bisch-

BY DIR. Louis +. BlSch-
Have you ever felt the loneli-
ness of a large city?
Stand on a busy street corner,
watch the crowds 60 by. and see
if you do not 1eel entirely out
of it.
Paradoxical as it may appear,
the greater the number of peo-
pie who surround you, the more
forlorn and forSaken do you
find yourself.
In large towns and cities
every one works and walks with
a purpose, and that purpose
never takes you into account.
People are too busy to bother
about you.
AS you see them go by you
get the impression that Just
standing by is, wasting time;
that you, as well as they, should
be on the go, doing something.
The motion and whirl Of the
city is inexorable and it casts
you out.
You are either in it or out
of it.
Never plan on making friends
easily in a large city.
City dwellers not only are
too set in maintaining a GER
tain speed of advance toward
a destined goal, but they also
are wary and somewhat suspi-
cious of strangers.
They are inclined to question
ones motive when the hand of
friendship is extended.
They are so fearful of being
handed the proverbial gold
brick" that often they miss
sterling value.
Many a heartache has been
endured by young men and
young women who have come
to the city, without friends or
acquaintance, in the hope Of
making their mark.
Underneath, Of course, the
big city and the people in it
are as kind and conSiderate as
elsewhere.
But it takes patience TO
know them and to understand
them, and men and women
often suffer untold agonies Of
loneliness before they succeed
in breaking into the charmed
circle"

you read Poe's first horror
tale. And you were IA. But
these babies were weaned on
horror-carried in the arms of
pleasure-mad mothers before
their eyes could even focus.
What happens when you hurl
sensation at a youngster? The
same thing that happens when
you press the button of your
searchlight. There is a response
from a battery. Only in the
searchlight the battery is a
metal contrivance which gives
out light and in the child it is
a living gland which gives out
energy and emotion. BUT THAT
GLAND CAN BECOME EX-
HAUSTED AS SURELY AS
THAT BATTERY AND EMO
TIONS CAN DULL AS WELL
AS LIGHT RAYS.
Press a searchlight too often
and you won't get any more
light. Batter young nerves and
glands too often and you won't
get any more response. Why
doesn't murder move these
young city toughs as it would
have moved you at eighteen?
Why SHOULD it move them,
when it has become an old, dull
tale? And when horror and
pity and reverence and respect
are exhausted-like played out
batteries - what's to keep a
young human from going saw
age? Nothing. That's why they
are there. And who's to blame?
